Events

As a result of using a different astronomical approach to explain the functions of the planets and stars, Asians use a lunar calendar to define seasons, plan agricultural events, and create festivals. For the year 2007, the New Year will begin on Feb 17. In the spirit of promoting a more diverse awareness and recognition of the most celebrated holiday in Asia, we are inviting various community organizations to the Saint Louis Science Center to showcase Asian cultures and histories on Feb 17 & 18. There will be many musical performances from local Asian language schools and performing groups. Showay Chang, Art professor at Florissant Community College, will set up a Village of Taiwan that presents arts and crafts hands-on activities. The Cinema St. Louis will be sharing with us the history of the Asian Film industry, and how to look for Asian films.

Thanks to parents and staff who participated in the 2nd YPP meeting on January 20th!  The next meeting agenda will include Summer 2007, preparing for a successful YES experience, among other important topics...hope to see any and all YES parents and staff at meeting 3!

It was announced today by the Mathews-Dickey Boys and Girls Club that the 47th Anniversary Alumni Celebration Awards Showcase Committee has selected our very own Siinya Riley to receive the Rhodia Miller Memorial award. The theme of the event is The Heart of a Champion, in honor of the Clubs efforts to instill within young people a winning attitude for success on the fields and in the classrooms. The weekend program celebrates the Club philosophy that academics and athletics can and should co-exist. Siinya will be honored at the awards program at 5 p.m., Saturday, February 17, at the Anheuser-Busch Corporate Headquarters, One Busch Pl., St.
