Suburban Journals Cover Pulitzer Project in St. Louis
 Our thanks to the Suburban
Journals for giving extensive coverage to the St.
Louis visit in late April of Jon
Sawyer, Nathalie Applewhite, and Stephanie Hanes from the Pulitzer Center for Crisis Reporting.
Their work at Parkway West High
School, St. Joseph's Academy, Collinsville High
School, and Maplewood-Richmond Heights High
School was given front page coverage in the May
2 edition of the West County Journal.
Additional coverage was given in the Collinsville Herald.
Special thanks to reporter Erin Taylor from the
Journal who not only wrote a terrific story on the
Pulitzer visit, but actually wrote all three front page stories
in last Wednesday's edition. This is not the first time
that she has taken on such responsibility. We truly
respect her skill, style, and work ethic. Ms. Taylor also
took the photo reprinted (so far without permission) in this
story.

Journals, click here.

Center staff at St. Joseph's Academy,
Collinsville, and Maplewood-Richmond Heights, click here.

head to Junior High School Park in Maplewood
for our annual Civitas picnic.
Further work in Hadley
Township will take place in early and mid summer.
Our special one-week Urban Go-Team

be from Monday, July 30 - Friday, August

Middle School Model U.N. Wraps Up This Week
 After three more terrific Middle School
model U.N. sessions last week, we'll "play it again" one more
time this week at the Creve Coeur Government
Center, 300 No. New Ballas Road; 63141.
 Last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday we
had students from North Kirkwood
Middle School, Northwest Valley Middle School, Loyola Academy,
Saeger Middle School (Fort Zumwalt), and
McKinley Classical Junior Academy
(St. Louis). They did an outstanding job
and we covered a variety of timely issues.
Our final
middle school activity of the year is our teacher meeting at
Chevy's Restaurant in Crestwood on Monday, May 21 from 4:00 PM -
6:00 PM. See the article below for more details.
If you have any questions at all, feel free to email Lisa at
() or call her at (314) 865-4704.

Civitas Picnic on Saturday, May 12
 This year's Civitas spring picnic will
be this Saturday, May 12 from
12:00 Noon until 3:00 PM at
Junior High Park
in Maplewood (click here for map). We will provide
beverages and light snacks; we ask that you bring what you would
like to bar-b-que.
The park has picnic tables under
shelter, clean restrooms, and fields for softball and other
sports. Most of all, it's a great environment for
chatting, joking, and just generally having a great time.
We invite students, teachers, and parents to join us for this,
our final event of the 2006-2007 school year.

Final Middle School Teacher Meeting on
Monday, May
21 at Chevy's Restaurant in Crestwood
When the date has finally dusted, middle school teachers can
gather at Chevy's Mexican Restaurant in Crestwood on
Monday, May 21 to celebrate the end of the
school year; to reflect upon how the school year went and to
brainstorm ideas for improvement next year.
In
previous years we have met at the Chevy's on Olive Street Road
near I-170, but with the heavy construction in that area now, we
are going with the more reliable Crestwood Chevy's.
The address of the Chevy's is 158 Crestwood Plaza; St. Louis,
MO 63126. The phone number is (314) 968-8485.
You can access a map of the area by clicking here.
We'll gather at
4:00 PM. You have the option of staying and snacking or
hanging out longer for dinner. Your call; we're happy to
be with you!
