Greetings!
As Drumm approaches its 94th birthday in April of this year, we are embarking on a project to expand our capacity and ability to serve children in need. With foster placements reaching historic highs in the region, it cannot happen soon enough.
Answering this call, Drumm is proud to share our Master Plan Project to begin this summer that includes: a new loop road, removal of internal roads near homes, new parking located close to the gymnasium, a remodeled home allowing for additional families on campus, a new entrance into the campus, bathrooms in the dining hall, remodeled space for the Counseling Center, a new farmer's market structure, improvements to utilities, and new sidewalks and lighting.
When complete, the school bus stop will no longer be on Lee's Summit Road, play areas will be safer, more children will be residing on campus, and much, much more. By the time Phase 1 is completed in 2014, Drumm will set out to build more new homes on the campus to meet the growing need. This vision is made possible by the ongoing support of so many friends like you, the Drumm Family. More details on the various projects will be shared in the coming months; know that your commitment to Drumm Farm Center for Children is at the heart of this opportunity to serve children in need.
Sincerely, Brad Smith
Executive Director
Drumm Center for Children

With Snow Days Come Snow Forts
Kids at Drumm enjoyed some time off of school, building forts and playing outside. As blasts of wintery weather have made their way through Independence, kids on the farm have been able to enjoy several friendly Snowball Wars in the fields. Moms, Dads, Helpers, and even the Garden Managers were all able to join in. Memories were made for Winter 2013 that will not soon be forgotten! |
