Today is the last day of school for many kids throughout Kansas City. Make sure to recycle what you can- papers, non-plastic folders, and notebooks (remove the metal rings first). And donate any usable school supplies to our friends at Scraps KC where they will be made available to teachers and students next school year. Have a great Summer!!
