Upper School students will form the annual “Turkey Train” during a special all-school Thanksgiving assembly on Monday, November 21. Beginning at 8:15 a.m., they will form a line stretching from one end of the campus to another, passing frozen turkeys, hand over hand, from student to student, to St. Louis Area Foodbank trucks waiting to receive the turkeys. They will be joined by Lower and Middle School students for an assembly and presentation of turkeys and canned goods to Foodbank representatives. Last year’s Turkey Train collected over 7,700 pounds of turkey and over 2,500 pounds of non-perishable food items. For more information on donations for the Turkey Train, click here. Since its inception in 2004, the MICDS Turkey Train has become one of the largest donations of food items to the St. Louis Foodbank at Thanksgiving. A reminder to all Upper School students: please plan to wear gloves for passing the turkeys!!

Missouri American Water informed our staff today that they will begin repairs on the ruptured water main just northeast of campus on Warson Road at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow. They advised us that MICDS could lose water service to most buildings either intermittently or throughout the duration of the repair, which is scheduled to last most of the day. Until they begin the repair, they cannot predict with confidence the scale or duration of the resulting water outage. Because of the uncertainty of the impact of this water main repair on our facilities, MICDS will be closed to all students tomorrow, Wednesday, January 28, during the school day. Information about after-school activities and athletics is currently unknown and will be communicated at a later time. Especially given this week’s inclement weather disruptions, I regret the necessity of tomorrow’s school-day closure and appeal to you for understanding. We will run a normal 8:00 a.m. start time on Thursday and a 9:00 a.m. late-start time on Friday in all three divisions. In the Middle and Upper Schools, Thursday will be an A day to pair with today's H day, and Friday will be a B9 day. On Monday, we will run a D day as originally scheduled. Thank you for your partnership and understanding. We will be back in touch with you should there be any changes to Missouri American’s water main repair schedule.
