About Us
1KC proudly celebrates teachers in our community who change the world by doing more than just teaching content. These teachers don't just teach kids, they reach kids. When a teacher reaches a student, that teacher changes the student's life...but the change does not stop there. A beautiful, loving ripple effect continues as that student goes forth and changes the world. Retired teacher, John Butcher, created our ripple effect and he is a man who not only taught art, but instilled in students the art of living a life with purpose and passion. Our 1KC family has been affected by this beautiful ripple of love and passion because of an amazing teacher...A teacher who chose to look at his student as a person, inspiring her to thrive. Teachers plant seeds. 1KC wants to honor these devoted educators who cultivate so much in our students' minds, hearts, souls and lives. 1KC believes in unity of the heart, of transcending that which divides. Kansas City may be two states, but we are one city blessed with amazing educators. Due to the impact of inspirational teachers who we honor, 1KC also believes our students will transcend what divides us, and build a future of unity where we all thrive, TOGETHER.
