(May 25, 2008) Sumner Academy students participating in the DASH (Douglass and Sumner Heritage) Project can now add "being featured on local public radio," to their already impressive resumes. Senior Melissa Villalobos and junior Kayla Barnes recently joined Damon Broadus of Greater Kansas City LISC in the KCUR 89.3FM studio to discuss the DASH Project, an innovative three-year service-learning project funded by LISC and State Farm to help preserve the unique history of the Douglass-Sumner neighborhood.

Greater Kansas City LISC serves as the primary sponsor and coordinator of the DASH project. Douglass-Sumner is a NeighborhoodsNOW community and the DASH project was identified as a priority in the neighborhood's Quality of Life Plan.
