Two Rams Score Four Goals Apiece in Boys Lacrosse Win
Congrats are in order for Steele Crissman ’26 who just broke the All-Time Missouri Assist record with an incredible 160 assists! The record was previously held by former Ram, Graham Bundy Jr ’19 (158). Way to go, Steele!
Additionally, in an article by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Wyatt Giles ’28 and Steele are featured for their contributions to the MICDS Varsity Boys Lacrosse game against CBC on Tuesday, April 21. The Rams defeated the Cadets 14-12. Wyatt and Steele both scored four goals apiece to help secure the victory. One of Wyatt’s goals was scored right after taking a hit, and one of Steele’s goals was scored after a hat trick. Although the Rams secured a win, they hope to continue to improve this season as a team. Check out the summary of the game in the article linked above!

E-waste Drive Fills a Truck and Trailer
By Navya Reddy ’27
The Community Service Committee was proud to continue the tradition of our annual electronic recycling drive through a new community partnership this year. Through Operation Food Search’s ‘Repurpose for a Purpose‘ program and their partner, Phoenix Solutions, we were able to give back to the community by collecting electronics for recycling.
On the morning of the drive, we had some fantastic student volunteers show up to help us set up and unload donations as cars came in. Over those four hours, we had a fantastic showing of members from the community, with donations ranging from iPads and iPhones to floppy disks and MP3 players! Some of the oldest items were an old shortwave broadcast radio (courtesy of Mr. Tex Tourais, Dean of Digital Learning & US English Faculty) and many different flip phones. We also collected plenty of TVs, cords, computers, alarm clocks, radios, and more. We had a great time working with the people from Phoenix Solutions and hearing about the processes they go through to sort electronics for recycling or resale. By the end of the drive, we had filled up a truckload and a trailer of donations; the final weight of donations and amount that has been kept out of a landfill will be announced here soon (check back in the next week or two)!
