Community Connections

Do you have an interesting collection? Did you serve in the military? Do you love to fish or hunt? What is your “day” job? Are you an architect, CPA, waitress, farmer? Have you traveled to faraway lands? Do you have souvenirs, artifacts or history from this or a foreign country? These are all things that are taught and we need your help!

Platte County R-3 School District is looking for folks to enhance the curriculum through community connections in the classroom. We invite you to come into the classroom and share your experiences, your knowledge, and your hobbies. Classroom teachers need help in making the subject “real” to students. If you would be willing to come into a classroom or just share your stories with the teacher in an effort to bring the curriculum to life for our students, please email zubeckt@pcriii.k12.mo.us or call Tina Zubeck at 816-858-5420. Don’t be shy ....we want your help!

Our goal is to gather a list of community members with a wide variety of life experiences or hobbies that our classroom teachers can draw from for support. You might share your story, bring in artifacts and allow students to see hands-on. Teachers can plan their lessons and contact individuals that will enhance the subject. Spend as little or as much time as you might have to share.
