EMKC does not want kids to just survive through school but thrive in all areas of life. EMKC goes deep into the lives of youth to develop virtues like honesty, diligence, and respect. To achieve this, EMKC hires full-time teacher-mentors who teach classes in character and leadership inside the school and build relationships with students after school and throughout the summer. Additionally, after learning key character traits, the high school students go to the local elementary schools every week to teach the character traits they just learned themselves to fourth and fifth graders. This immediate application instills ownership and responsibility to live out the virtues in their community. By introducing students to positive and caring adults, students gain positive role models, no longer navigating life's toughest challenges alone. This relationship-based, application-infused model is designed to help students grow holistically as they (1) develop social-emotional skills, (2) strengthen their character, (3) positively engage in their community, and (4) experience school success. Elevate Metro KC students at Center High School, Center Middle School and Center Elementary for total of 253 students with plans for expansion. Center School District is one of the more impoverished districts in greater Kansas City. 0 0 0 320842 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0 1 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X X Kira Montuori 9132040320 4801 Liberty Street Kansas City MO 64112 Christopher Jehle Executive Director 40 0 X 97547 0 3465 David Larrabee Chair and Treasurer 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Rob Merrill Vice Chair 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Donna Crosswhite Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Carrie Robson Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 David Stubblefield Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Hank Hershey Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Leonard Davis Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Gordon Criswell Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Chris Ruckman Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 97547 0 3465 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 8704 0 25000 802021 1342 835725 0 10609 0 0 10609 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2058 8704 2125 -67 0 -67 2044 552 1492 0 0 1492 0 847759 0 0 12034 X 103448 34138 34138 35172 309924 179651 29114 101159 1094 1094 26895 0 24136 2759 32518 16713 4959 10846 10 10 33562 3547 30015 0 9623 9623 69651 54386 15265 0 29677 11070 17695 912 869 869 17091 2857 13802 432 12324 6298 5790 236 10019 10019 20142 2163 16736 1243 676847 320842 193623 162382 185879 270100 298580 134700 25000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6104 11124 157878 57808 5002 100070 0 264592 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 520565 780586 27935 117273 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 27935 117273 X 452630 596813 40000 66500 492630 663313 520565 780586 170912 44 0 0 -273 0 X 0 1 X 0 0 X 636005 370372 555580 497936 835725 2895618 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 636005 370372 555580 497936 835725 2895618 174092 2721526 659 540 2690 11301 10609 25799 0 0 0 0 0 0 2390 26 22 0 0 2438 2923855 2125 0.93080 0.86389 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 2020-2022: Refund of expense paid in prior year.
