Kansas City teachers, including Olathe East teacher Eli Woody, are asking for donations to help supply classrooms before the new school year begins+ the initiative led by Rachel Kilmer runs through July as hundreds of wishlists have been submitted for items like flashcards and charging strips.

Olathe residents gave feedback on the city’s first comprehensive plan rework since 2010 (focusing on new housing, more retail and improved cross-town travel) and said these priorities will guide future development decisions.

The Johnson County Department of Health and Environment is hosting three walk-in vaccination clinics to help students get the required immunizations before the new school year begins.
