This morning, families across Missouri watched their kids shoulder their backpacks and walk through the school doors into a new year.
To the students finding their way, the educators welcoming them in, the families cheering them on, and the first responders supporting their schools: We hope this year brings opportunities to learn, grow, and look out for one another.
Strong school communities are built by people who show up for each other every day. We’re grateful to be part of that work.
What are you most looking forward to this school year?
