1. Perfect for finding things out if you're new to town.
2. You can ask advice about ANYTHING ... doctors, speech therapists, co-ops, curriculum, dual credit, transcripts, places to go and things to see, and so much more.
3. Great places to sell curriculum and other items in them and they are full of trustworthy members who have been vetted by an admin.
4. Find out about field trips, dances, fun events, park days, athletic events (soccer, volleyball, basketball, all of it!) and more, as well as promote your own events and those of your co-op, church, sports organization, fine arts organization, etc.
5. Best of all, you can get support in these groups. Third grader refuses to do school? Someone in the group has been there and can tell you how they handled that issue. Middle schooler needs some socialization? A couple of these groups create a monthly calendar (one on the MO side and one on the KS side) that's print and go. New baby and husband out of town? How about a meal train?
Some of the groups below are extremely general and large, while some are very specific to a certain area of town or an event (Airsoft Wars, Camelot Dances). Some are religion-based and some are not. Some are just for teens, including the dual-credit group, which mostly seems to be centered around JCCC on the Kansas side, but you could always start your own dual-credit group centered around the Missouri side!
