News We Love: Students help rebuild dog day care after fire

After an early-December fire, Belton High School students are repairing Lily's Play and Stay in Belton, with hopes to reopen soon, KMBC9 reporter Alan Shope said.
Belton High School's hands-on trades program assigned the repair, enrolling nearly 20 students to help at Lily's Play and Stay after a December fire, with the daycare aiming to reopen in 3 to 4 weeks.
Students installed ceiling tiles damaged by smoke and repaired the fire room by bumping mortar on walls, fixing other fire-affected areas.
Students and community members called the effort meaningful; Amy Klein, owner of Lily's Play and Stay, said the work has been invaluable and community support has been overwhelming.
As local coverage shows, the project highlights students applying classroom skills, helping a small business recover, as KMBC9 reported it will be back open soon.
