Kennerly Student Collects Change for St. Baldrick's

Kennerly Student Collects Change for Baldrick’s

Collections are still rolling in for St. Baldrick’s at Kennerly Elementary School! Devi Staudte, a fifth-grader in Mr. Nick Argint’s class, recently brought in $62 that she has been collecting for the event since March. Devi did not shave her head, but she still wanted to find a way to give back to the cause. Donations are still being accepted online as well, at http://www.stbaldricks.org/events/mypage/10153/2013.

LHS Students to Perform in Jeff City

Five students from Lindbergh High School will perform in the state capitol rotunda during Fine Arts Education Day in Jefferson City on May 1. The students qualified for this performance by earning “superior” ratings during competitions held at the 2013 Missouri State Thespian Conference in January. Seniors Grace Vangel, Jordan Woods, Demi Avery and Erica Krull will sing in a quartet, and sophomore Jack Kenney will perform two short monologues.
