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.
