We have visitors today! Teachers from across the Midwest are in town for the ISACS conference, and one nice feature of that travel is that they get to visit other area schools that are doing something similar to what they are. Today we have visitors at 11 am from KVC Academy Missouri, and at 1:40 pm from the Churchill School in St. Louis. You may see some of these folks at the conference on Friday as well (hard to say - it's a big conference). It's so nice to connect!
