About the project . . .

Fifth grade students at Santa Fe Trail Elementary School, in Independence, Missouri, worked to develop a site-based business enterprise in which they created and published a 12 month calendar featuring local architectural landmarks and sites of the Kansas City area. Images and text that appear on this website are from that calendar.

Seventy-five students participated in this community based project in which they shared their talents and skills in documenting architectural landmarks through photography, illustration, and research. Graphic design professionals assisted in guiding students in the final layout and calendar design.

As a result, all student participants and their families received a published color calendar free of charge. The remaining 2003 calendars are available for sale at $16.00. All donations support this student-business enterprise into the 2003-04 school year.

Those interested in purchasing a calendar may contact: Santa Fe Trail School at (816) 521-2730
