Fifth and sixth graders from the Barry Middle School got the opportunity for a practical learning experience in how the adult world operates last week when they spent the whole day in Exchange City. They ran the entire city and learned by doing. Exchange City was held at the Learning Exchange in downtown Kansas City, near Crown Center. It is free this year, being sponsored by Hallmark Cards with a grant, but next year is expected to cost about $150 per school.
