Plans were announced here today for the establishment of the first Hebrew all-day school in Kansas City scheduled to open next fall with first and second grades. The school, to be known as the Hebrew Academy of Greater Kansas City, will also have a kindergarten and third grade during its first year of operation if there is sufficient demand for these grades.
According to plans worked out by a founding committee, the Hebrew Academy will be a private day school independent of any congregation, Hebrew school or any other local or national organization. During its initial year, classes will be held at the school facilities of Chev Sholom Congregation which the Academy will rent. Milton Firestone, editor of the Kansas City Jewish Chronicle, is among the founders of the new institution.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
