ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — One local mom is already seeing the benefits of the free InspireU membership.
Amanda Bowen, who has two kids, said the membership is an amazing opportunity for families — especially those who might not have been able to afford it otherwise.
“The weather’s about to get cold, and so it’s another indoor activity that’s fun to take your kids and it’s educational,” Bowen. said.
She said InspireU gives children a chance to explore, learn and even discover ways to give back to the community. It also keeps kids engaged with educational exhibits and prepares them for what’s ahead.
“When my kids found out about this, they were super excited and we were in the process of going to make a purchase because we go there on weekends, but now we can go whenever,” Bowen said.
The goal behind the donation is to make sure more families can enjoy InspireU and to highlight how valuable education is for the entire community.
Lowell Kruse, with the Mosaic Life Care Foundation, said their role was simply to make the idea happen.
“Help is not on the way; that’s up to us to educate them, support them along the way. We’ve got a tremendous community willing to participate. All we need is to organize the stuff around them,” Kruse said.
Organizers hope this gift encourages even more families to take advantage of InspireU and its opportunities for hands-on learning.
