Jeremy Marks addressed the Board during the presentation. He thanked Dr. Potts for his support, gave a short history about the development of the Father’s Club in Lee’s Summit, discussed a few examples of what the Father’s Clubs are doing in the schools and in the community. In conclusion he asked for continued support from the Lee’s Summit School District and Board.

Board member, Rodrick Sparks, added that he appreciated the Father’s Club contributions to the Lee’s Summit community. He recognized not only the effort of the Father’s Club in supporting students, but also expressed his appreciation for their love and humanity for other men and families in the community. He stated that he was happy for the work the Father’s Club was doing in the community and offered his continued support.

As a leadership team in Lee’s Summit, we are so grateful for the recognition and support of our School District and its board members.
