Good News About Our Students
Student Council and Writing Knights
On April 4th, eight students from Student Council and the Writing Knights took a tour of the Kansas City Star. They were introduced to the printing press and were able to understand the transformation of the newspapers over the decades. Students asked intriguing questions about how editors proof-read the papers upside down and backwards and inquired about summer internships.
Thanks to our two guides, Darryl Levings and Bill Tammeus, for showing our students the building and treating them to Christopher Elbow Chocolates. We also would like to thank the five amazing chaperones who accompanied us as well.

Respond by April 12, 2017, to RSVP-KC@ic.fbi.gov
Community teens from both Missouri and Kansas are invited to attend a Youth and Law Enforcement Forum. This event will provide both community teens and law enforcement the opportunity to talk openly about the challenges facing law enforcement and the teen community.
Teens will have the opportunity to sit down, ask questions and talk one-on-one with representatives of law enforcement, including crime scene investigators, evidence response team members, hostage negotiators, and cyber crime investigators. Attendees will also be able to see up close some of the capabilities law enforcement has and learn about possible career opportunities.
The program is sponsored by the FBI in partnership with the United States Attorney’s Offices, Western District of Missouri and District of Kansas; the Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas Police Departments; and the FBI Citizens Academy Association.
For more information, or if you have any questions, please email at RSVP-KC@ic.fbi.gov
All youth 13 or older are encouraged to attend (high school and college age). The goal of this program is to continue to expand the dialogue between law enforcement and our communities’ youth, keeping in mind that the youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow.
