Melanie Haas, member of the Kansas Board of Education, represents District 2, which includes school districts in Johnson and Wyandotte counties. She will present our June 7 program “Current Topics in Kansas Public Education.” As the school year ends, it is a good time to receive updates on what is happening in Kansas public education, including legislation that has recently passed. Ms. Haas has been a member of the Kansas State Board since January 2021. Bring your questions and learn what is happening.
Also, we will be collecting new or gently used children’s books for the FUUD Pantry at SMUUCh this month. When clients visit the food pantry, they have the opportunity to select some children’s books to take home. SMUUCh reports that 61% of families in under-resourced neighborhoods have no books for the children in their homes. The FUUD Pantry at SMUUCh collects gently used books of all kinds to ensure every family that visits can take books home.
