Students throughout the Mehlville School District are the focus of character education on a weekly, if not daily, basis. But those lessons are also taken to heart by teachers and administrators.
On Sept. 24, a group of educators from Point Elementary School headed to the Ronald McDonald House on the campus of St. John’s Mercy Medical Center and prepared dinner for the families staying there. Ronald McDonald Houses across the country gives out-of-town families a free place to stay when their children need extended hospital treatment. The St. Louis area has two Houses, one in Creve Coeur and one next to Cardinal Glennon Hospital.
