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.

Turkey Train Provides 8,505 Meals for the Hungry

Our mission calls us to engage in “lives of purpose of and service”. The MICDS community lives out that mission every day, and especially during our annual Turkey Train effort. Each year for the past 13 years, the MICDS community rallies together to donate frozen turkeys, canned goods, and other food items to complement Thanksgiving meals at shelters and needy homes in the St. Louis area.

“This food drive means so much to those in need and your continued support is greatly appreciated. The students did a phenomenal job!” – Lenora Gooden, Vice President of Product Sourcing at St. Louis Area Foodbank.

The totals from your collection are:
Turkeys – 612 turkeys – 7,725 lbs
Food drive – 29 barrels – 2,694 lbs

The food collected will provide 8,505 meals to those in need.
