Had a great day at the first chess tournament of the year! Everyone played well and got some good experience. What a really good group of kids! #VPPride

Excited for the Honors American History class to begin creating their Gilded Age/Progressive Era Netflix projects! So much creativity in their discussions already! #VPpride

I'm grateful for the jazz crawl down on Cherokee St! Great music and dancing right here in my favorite city! #gratitudesnapsvp

Ready for election day at Weber Road! Excited to facilitate our democratic voting process!

I had a great time working the polls yesterday! I'm very proud of the work everyone did to make our elections fair, efficient, and reliable. Here is a wonderful article explaining how our elections protect votes and accurately count results. news.stlpublicradio.org/government-pol…

Looking forward to a great concert of "The Planets" at beautiful Powell Hall with our St. Louis Symphony Orchestra! #slsolive

Got a wonderful surprise gift from my APUSH students this morning! Happy birthday to Elizabeth Papalotzi and thanks to all these fantastic students! #VPpride #APUSH

Gardening begins! Got the first of 3 new boxes built, dug in, and leveled. Two to go, then adding soil and prepping the main garden before the planting begins!

The goal to gut public education is sickening. MO should do better for their future by funding schools appropriately in the first place. VOTE for schools. VOTE for the future. Make sure your legislators know open enrollment is a bad idea. #teachallkids

Three cubic yards of dirt later, the new garden beds are ready for planting!

Polls are open and friendly election workers are ready to help you cast your ballot! #STLCountyVotes

No storm will stop the intrepid APUSHers from rocking their practice test. Great to have such dedicated students willing to spend their Saturday morning preparing for the APUSH exam! @ValleyParkHS #APUSH #VPpride

APUSH kiddos rocked out on their test and I'm starting the weekend right with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra's "Damnation of Faust." Good times! St. Louis Symphony Orchestra

APUSH scores come out today, but they won't change anything of how I feel about my students. I was proud of them all year and I'm proud of them today. Students are always more than a test score. #VPpride #APUSH

So proud of my students today! 1st hour Honors class created industrialization museum exhibits using items from our curiosity box. The other American History classes are doing a gallery walk to learn from and evaluate the exhibits. A great way to end the week! #VPPride #VPHS

What a great quick field trip the Valley Park APUSH crew took to the Saint Louis Art Museum! It was a lot of fun to trace US History through the American galleries. It's always a thrill to see the work of George Caleb Bingham in person!

We're excited to announce a new partnership with St. Louis Symphony Orchestra! Starting today, all SLCL branches will provide free SLSO concert vouchers to library patrons. Vouchers will be available at any SLCL branch, while supplies last. Learn more: ow.ly/iz1R50QrtpS
