On September 26, Students, staff, faculty and families from Briarcliff Elementary-North Kansas City Schools met at Latte Land in Briarcliff Village and marched up Briarcliff Parkway to the school to celebrate International Walk to School Day. They were joined by the North Kansas City High School drumline and cheer squad, the Kansas City and NKC Police and residents and local businesses from the Briarcliff Community. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this event a huge success!

Wouldn't it be nice to walk along the trails in our community and be able to identify the different kinds of trees? We thought this was a great idea, so we spent the afternoon with a lady from the Missouri Conservation Department who pointed out all the different trees along the Briarcliff Nature Trail.
Students at Briarcliff Elementary frequently visit these trails during class and on their own leisure time, and are always asking, "What kind of tree is that?" After our visit with the MO Conservation Department, we learned there are hundreds of different kinds of trees along the nature trails. Some are a little tricky to identify, but the clues can be found in the leaves, acorns, bark, size and growth pattern. We are so excited for kids, and fellow neighbors, to finally be able to see what kinds of trees are surrounding us. On August 20, a new off-leash dog park opened on NE 32nd St. and Swift in North Kansas City, just adjacent to Briarcliff. Waggin' Trail Park is 4.7 acres and has two separate fenced in areas for small dogs and large dogs to let loose and have fun. The park features a walking trail, benches, two ADA water fountains and an agility course that consists of weave poles rope jump, an A-Frame ramp and tunnels. Former Briarcliff Elementary alum, Preston Sivils, designed and built several of the obstacle courses for his Eagle Scout project.
This park was created by a partnership between the City of North Kansas City and the City of Kansas City, Mo. With a large turnout for the grand opening, we anticipate the park to be a popular spot for dog lovers. Many Briarcliff residents advocated for years to build a dog park in or near our community, and we are very blessed to finally have such a wonderful amenity so close to our neighborhoods.
