We had the most amazing time in Kansas City! We had a jam packed schedule and made the most out of the time we had.
On Thursday, we went to the KAB Student Seminar. Our kids got hands-on experience with industry professionals doing news and weather reports, interviews, and radio broadcasts. I asked all of the students to submit the best thing that they learned. They said that they learned so much about the options they have for post-secondary education, potential careers, and tips for camera operation and on camera presence.
At the end of the conference, they attended the awards ceremony and got to enjoy celebrating their amazing accomplishments with an ice cream bar.
Thursday night, we went to see a KC Current game! It was so high energy and our students were excited to be so close to the field and cheer on the Current to a W.
On Friday, we started the day with some sight seeing at Union Station and a few other downtown spots. Afterwards, we went to Activate and played a ton of games! There were rooms with different games and they competed to get the most points. The boys team, the “Humble Army” who were later renamed to the “Not So Humble Army” by the girls team, won the trophy.
We finished our trip with some KC BBQ that was featured on an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. We are so full and we might need to be rolled back to Scott City.
After a full year of hard work, it is so rewarding for our students to be able to celebrate their accomplishments and have some fun! Thank you to everyone who has celebrated alongside us and cheered us on!
