A huge thank you to Affton School District leaders Dr. Travis Bracht, Erica Chandler, Adam Jasinski, Dr. Loren Widmer, and Dr. Jason Buck for volunteering their time at our STEAM Museum today!

We are grateful for your support of our Cougars and STEAM learning! 🚀

🔬🎨 STEAM Museum at Mesnier! “It felt like a real museum, but we got to touch everything!” Today, our students explored hands-on STEAM exhibits with robots, virtual reality, 3D printing, engineering, art, and more. Curiosity was high, creativity was buzzing, and learning was happening everywhere! 🚀

Huge thanks to our Rogers Middle School mentors for visiting today! 💛💜 Our students loved creating 2026 vision boards with you and dreaming big for the future. Your time, energy, and encouragement made it extra special! ⭐✨💜💛

Ms. Jauer’s first graders are measuring up to some cool learning! 🐧📏 As part of their measurement unit, students measured each other—and even Ms. Jauer—to figure out just how big of a snowsuit they’d need to visit penguins… or maybe just survive the chilly St. Louis weather this weekend! ❄️ Hands-on learning, lots of laughs, and a classroom full of curious minds make first grade the coolest place to be!

Dinner plans? Make it Papa John’s! 🍕 A portion of proceeds supports our school—thank you for helping our students thrive!

Today we held our Class Family Meetings! 💛

K–2 students came together to build community, learn about helpful vs. hurtful words (with support from our middle schoolers), and continue our book study of I Forgive Alex. Students shared thoughtful ideas about feelings, friendship, and forgiveness. A great morning of connection and learning! 📚✨
