Don't forget our tour of the G.M. Plant this Tuesday!
During the summer months, we try to provide a series of special field trips that are "somewhat educational" and also fun. The first one that we will have this year is a tour of the General Motors plant in Wentzville, Missouri (St. Charles County). The tour will be on Tuesday, June 25, from 9:00 AM - 10:15 AM.

Because so many interested students and teachers live throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area, we will have two pick-up and return points for the bus to take us to the plant. The first will be at Crossroads School, 500 DeBaliviere, in St. Louis click here for map

The second will be at the St. Louis County Library, 1640 So. Lindbergh (63131) -- east side of Lindbergh, just south of Clayton Road. click here for map


Pick-up at Crossroads will be at 7:45 AM; at the County Library at 8:10 AM. Return to the Library will be by 11:30 AM and to Crossroads by 12:00 Noon.

During the tour, we will be on a tram and travel about the plant to see how G.M. is using modern technology in the auto industry. There will be time for questions and answers. If you are interested in going, please E- Mail us and let us know at which of the two pick-up spots we should expect you.
