SLACkers Share the Love At Open Door Animal Sanctuary
On May 25 the Student Library Advisory Council (SLAC) sent volunteers to House Springs, Missouri, to spend time with the furry inhabitants at Open Door Animal Sanctuary. Their mission is to help acclimate the adoptable animals through reading works of their choice and some close personal care (pets, playtime, and cuddles). This is the inaugural animal outreach effort for the group. Students helped to make the choice of the partnership by insisting on only working with a no-kill shelter. This is the largest, no-kill facility in the state.
| |
|
The sanctuary is entirely supported by donations and always looking for volunteers to help at adoption outreach events (volunteer signup is for a minimum of two hours per month). They currently house more than 200 cats and 100 dogs. The facilities are extensive with multiple areas for dogs; additionally, they have the Kitten Cabin, Cat City, and the Pampurred Palace.
Before settling with individuals and pairs, students got to see some of the facilities and hear about the goals and challenges. The organization has a number of special programs including low-cost spay and neutering, a pet food pantry to support families in need, and a Humane Education Program that brings pets to classrooms to talk about the importance of valuing our animal friends with kids.

Their $1 Seniors program allows senior citzens to adopt a cat 10 or older or a dog 8 or older for just a buck. The mission is always to get as many animals into homes with families, make sure everyone is medically treated, and to help those who do not find adoption as part of their journey have the best quality of life possible.
To find out more, you can visit their website at odas.org or you can see listing updates on adoptable animals on the site and social feeds but also by looking at their posts on petfinder.com

Wash-U Showcase Elevates Equitable Math Teaching With MRH Partners
After three years of exploration into the most impactful ways to implement equitable math instruction, teachers, administrators and math coaches from MRH and other school districts had the opportunity to share what they’ve learned and what’s working in their classrooms during an Improvement Showcase held May 18 at Washington University.

|
Educators from three districts shared short presentations and posters on a gamut of research they have completed thus far in partnership with instructional specialists and researchers from the Institute for School Partnership at Washington University in St. Louis.
| |
|
Funding has been secured for a fourth year of continued work as participants focus their efforts on implementing equitable math teaching practices throughout their schools and districts for broader impact.

The Leadership Cornerstone: Sophomores Get It!
School’s out, but several MRH sophomores are staying busy this month in their pursuit of leadership, scholarship, citizenship and stewardship.
Aaron Martin attended the Missouri Leadership Seminar this weekend at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, representing the Blue Devils of MRH. What happens at MLS?
From games and fun challenges to group discussions and projects, team building activities at the seminar allow students to interact with other ambassadors and express opinions in a small group setting. Students have ample opportunity to lead. By expressing opinions in facilitated discussions, volunteering to lead group challenges, or introducing activities to the seminar as a whole, students have the opportunity to grow leadership skills as they feel comfortable.
Dakota Colbert and Kamora Harper-McCain are representing MRH at HOBY State Leadership Seminar next weekend in Webster Groves. The seminar is designed to help high school sophomores recognize their leadership talents and apply them to become effective, ethical leaders in their home, school, workplace and community. Selected students participate in hands-on leadership activities, meet leaders in their state, and explore their own personal leadership skills – all while learning how to lead others and make a positive impact in their community.
