Ram Becomes Eagle Scout

Maxwell Birkel ’23 recently achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, the Boy Scouts of America’s highest possible rank. Less than 4% of Scouts attain the rank of Eagle. For his Eagle Project, Maxwell built two planters for the Animal Protective Association (APA). Congratulations, Maxwell!

3rd Grader Plays Ukulele, Recorder and Dances to Support St. Louis Food Bank

Katherine S. ’29 and her friend have been playing music and performing dances for their neighbors to raise money for the St. Louis Area Food Bank! She plays her ukulele and recorder while her neighbor plays her ukulele, too. They also choreographed and performed several dances. With their creative efforts and a few days outside, they were able to raise $350 and obtained a match to make a total donation of $700 for the food bank!

Fabulous job, Katherine!
