ABOUT THE WATCH

"The St. Louis Schools Watch was founded on the premises that parental and community involvement are needed for good schools to flourish, and that public participation is a cornerstone of democracy. The Watch offers information and analysis that we hope contributes to a public debate over what changes are necessary to improve St. Louis public schools, and what works."

-- Peter Downs, Founder

SLPS employees, along with several community partners, continue to collect new or gently-worn coats, and new hats, mittens and gloves, which will be given to students in the district. Washington University ’s Center for Advanced Learning (Cornerstone), St. Louis University , St. Louis Community College-Forest Park campus, the St. Louis Public Schools Foundation, and local churches are also helping to reach the goal of collecting 3,000 coats by Nov. 16.

Items may be dropped off at St. Louis Public Schools Central Office, 801 N. 11th Street , weekdays between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:45 p.m., or at any of the following Community Education Centers between the hours of 1:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. (with the exception of Veteran’s Day on Nov. 10):

The community thanks Anthony Bonner for putting this project together. He has already been a wonderful addition to the district.
