Sappington fifth-graders and their families attended the Rams v. Seahawks game Sept. 30 to catch a great football win and serve as members of the Rams Green Team. Rams Green Team volunteers walk the aisles in between quarters and collect recyclables from fans at the Edward Jones Dome. The service project is part of fifth-graders’ efforts to pursue the Presidential Service Award and Lindbergh’s Triple Crown Award. Triple Crown recognizes students who achieve academic, physical fitness and service milestones.

Lindbergh High School varsity cheerleaders won first place at the Stand Up to Cheer Classic, which was held at the University of Missouri-St. Louis on Oct. 6. In addition, the girls raised the most money of any school, donating $3,000 to help support a cure for breast cancer. Money was raised by hosting a Pink Out! football game in September and selling T-shirts. LHS has placed first every year during the competition’s four-year history. Watch their winning routine here:<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lindbergh-High-School-Cheerleading/130301410353876?ref=ts&fref=ts">http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lindbergh-High-School-Cheerleading/130301410353876?ref=ts&fref=ts</a>
Forty-three Sperreng Fiddlers (ranging from 6th -8th grade from Truman and Sperreng middle schools), several Lindbergh High School students and a few surprise collegiate Fiddler Alums traveled with their families to Northern Indiana Sept. 22-23 to participate in the 45th annual Feast of the Hunters’ Moon. The Feast is an 18th Century reenactment that typically draws more than 25,000 people daily, and the Sperreng Fiddlers are an annual featured event.  The Sperreng Fiddlers are scheduled to play locally during the afternoon of Oct. 27 at the Ste. Genevieve Rural Heritage Days, at 12 p.m. on Dec. 8 at the Old Courthouse in downtown St. Louis, and at 1 p.m. May 19 in Frontier Park in Old St. Charles, for the annual Lewis and Clark Heritage Days.
Lindbergh High School Interact Club, which is a division of Rotary International, recently completed two service projects to help community members in need. On Sept. 15, students sponsored a car wash that raised $300 – $150 for Interact’s community and international service efforts, and $150 for the St. Louis Society for Disadvantaged Citizens. During the car wash, students also washed three transportation vans for the St. Louis Society for Disadvantaged Citizens. On Sept. 25, Interact students visited the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Mercy Hospital St. Louis, where they hosted a party for the babies’ siblings. Students prepared a snack and a craft for the kids, and did some face-painting as well. Hosting the party allows patients’ parents to attend a dinner meeting at the hospital, where they can support one another and learn more about raising a child with special medical needs.
Sperreng Middle School sixth-graders Olivia Borman (right), Anya Kalfus (left), and Jude Anderson and Erin Clancy (not pictured) came up with a great idea to support children with cancer. The girls decorated headbands with pink buttons and sold them at the Lindbergh High School Pink Out! football game Sept. 21. The girls’ popular headpieces raised $113 for Friends of Kids with Cancer.
