A Message to All MRH Families from the COVID-19 Task Force:
It is clear that COVID-19 is not going away. What “living with COVID-19” looks like depends largely on how well we control it. Our fates are linked. With a highly contagious disease that spreads through the air we breathe, risk is shared. Public health is a public responsibility. By continuing to be careful, we protect ourselves and friends and family who may be more vulnerable.
-
MRH continues to encourage masking and vaccinations for all who are eligible, per public health guidance. Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations, including recommended boosters. Visit revivestl.com to find out where you can get vaccinated.
- Don’t go to work or send children to school when symptoms are present. Follow CDC guidelines for isolation and quarantine.
- Public health experts strongly recommend wearing a mask when in crowded indoor settings and when around people who are at risk of severe disease. This includes those who can’t get vaccinated, such as children under 5 years old… adults who are over 65… and people who are immunocompromised.
- It is allergy season and it is difficult to discern allergy symptoms from COVID-19 symptoms. If your student has a history of seasonal allergies, please feel free to use preventative measures before sending them to school. However, there have been several COVID-19 cases this past month that initially presented as seasonal allergies.
-
School nurses throughout the region are still using the Student Symptom Decision Tree: Washington University developed by Children’s Hospital and Washington University. With the relaxation of mitigating measures throughout the region, the symptom decision tree is one of our last protective measures in place.
We do not know precisely what the future of the pandemic holds. By working together to prevent spread of the virus, limit the progression of infection to severe disease, monitor the burden of disease, and maintain preparedness, we can move forward and minimize the impact of the virus on our lives.

It pays to have an inquiring mind! Just ask MRHHS student Isabel Miano.
On Saturday, April 30th, the Greater St. Louis Association of Black Journalists (GSLABJ) sponsored a virtual seminar for local high school students interested in pursuing journalism as a career. During the seminar, a number of local journalists made short presentations about their work and the students were then invited to conduct interviews with the professionals. The student who asked the most questions received an award; in this case, a gift card. Maplewood Richmond Heights High School sophomore Isabel Miano won that award!

“School As Apprenticeship” at Work!
MRH High School senior Calvin Chambers and junior Leo Javier, each with a parent, attended the Opera Theater of St. Louis's (OTSL) dress rehearsal of “Carmen” on Thursday. Calvin and Leo -- who are considering careers in lighting/sound and fashion or costume design, respectively -- got the opportunity to view the highly-touted production as well as meet the professionals who work in their fields of interest and watch what happens behind the scenes.
Pictured below is Calvin, whose mother says the full OTSL staff spent the entire intermission visiting with her son and Leo, who is not pictured. “Wow, those catwalks are amazing!” declared Jackie Chambers.
MRH is grateful to OTSL for providing these experiences to our students.
