The Academy of St. Louis wants to salute them on November 11, 2024. There will be a program; afterward, donuts and coffee will be served. Please send your veteran’s name, rank, and picture (if possible) to Kathy Lagos at klagos@sbcglobal.net as soon as possible. This includes deceased veterans, whether they died in the war or not.

Lunch Menu
We had so much fun exploring our Monsters and Fall theme this week! During story time, we read Little Blue Truck’s Halloween, Hey, That’s My Monster, and I Don’t Want to Wash My Hands, tying in essential lessons on hygiene, friendship, and strength. In Math, we practiced counting with leaves, helping the students engage with nature while learning numbers. Our social-emotional focus was on keeping our hands and feet to ourselves, reinforcing personal space and kindness with peers. For special activities, the students loved painting trees and pumpkins with cotton balls in art, and we combined science and art by making leaf art using markers and foil. It was a week full of creativity, learning, and fun!
