Local kindergarten families receive free InspireU memberships from donors

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- More than 700 kindergarten families in the St. Joseph School District will receive free one-year family memberships to InspireU thanks to local donors.

Lowell Kruse said, "These kids in here, they're going to be the teachers. They're going to be the principals, the governors, the people that run the hospital, the nurses. We need the best we can get right? It only happens through education."

The Mosaic Life Care Foundation, alongside donors Lowell and Leslie Kruse, announced the initiative on Friday morning at Lindbergh Elementary School. This benefit will be given to every kindergarten family within the school district. 

"Inspire U was really built to engage young families," said Julie Gaddie, president of Mosaic Life Care Foundation. "We wanted a place where young families can come to learn together about how to be healthy as a family from the start."

InspireU is an interactive learning center that connects children with real-world opportunities through exhibits and programs focused on career exploration and skill-building.
