To help limit the spread of Coronavirus and to support public health efforts, many family attractions have closed temporarily. In the meantime, we invite our readers to enjoy virtual events highlighted in our Things To Do calendar. When you do go out, follow public health guidelines: wear masks, practice social distancing and wash your hands frequently. To learn why social distancing is important and effective in lessening the spread of COVID-19, hear from Dr. Alexis Elward, Chief Medical Officer at St. Louis Children’s Hospital.

Metro Theater Company
Read More About This Camp
Learning and play can still be part of your child's summer even while they stay safe and healthy through social distancing! Whether it's playing with sculpture, storytelling and song at Creative Arts Camp, or learning how to audition for a play at Grand Theater Camp, MTC's professional teaching artists bring fun and growth through the arts to campers of all ages. This year, in response to COVID-19, Metro Theater Company has moved all summer camps to an online platform, making them more affordable but equally as engaging as their usual in-person summer programs.
Students will need a secure internet connection, including a microphone and web camera to participate fully in camp. Instruction will be a mix of full group activities, small group activities, and at-home activities to ensure a balance of creative fun in between screen time. There will still be a digital performance for family and friends to enjoy at the conclusion of the program.

Fall Open House at New City School

Come see for yourself why New City School is so special at this Open House event. All are invited, whether you are a prospective parent considering preschool, kindergarten or with older children.
Diversity Beyond the Numbers Open House at New City School
At New City School, students learn more than the contents of a textbook. They are taught to become confident, caring, thoughtful individuals who value the multiple perspectives of their peers. A New City education is grounded in rigorous academics, achieved through joyful, experiential learning.
