KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The superintendent of North Kansas City School District shared a piece of history on his Twitter account Sunday.
Superintendent Daniel Clemons said he received a picture of this letter from Dr. Wartick, the principal at North Kansas City High School.
The Warticks shared this letter from L.O. Litle, Superintendent @NKCSchools in 1944. His words have so much meaning, and are strangely comforting today. 76 years later, it’s still ”Your school is desirous of serving your educational needs as completely as possible.” #1NKCSchools pic.twitter.com/jXX52gYRyr

Clemens told 41 Action News that Dr. Wartick's son-in-law is the grandson of L.O. Litle.
