A group of citizens, concerned about the current flood plain development trends within the St. Louis Metropolitan region, established Great Rivers Habitat Alliance in June 2000. GRHA addresses issues affecting wetland habitat and promotes sensible use of flood plains in the confluence region of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Illinois Rivers. Great Rivers Habitat Alliance supports preservation of the flood plains of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. The organization’s primary focus is on the Confluence Flood Plain in St. Charles County. The organization seeks to save our natural flood plain and rural agricultural heritage. GRHA strives in influencing public officials to make changes in their policies and legislation that is affecting the regional flood plain development. Since its establishment, GRHA has made contacts with regional influential politicians and officials and begun an awareness campaign to inform the general public about flood plain developments and new levee construction efforts that typically closely follow new flood plain developments. These awareness campaigns are the initial tools intended to raise attention about the importance of saving flood plains as natural water storage areas, instead of converting it into building sites for new, larger, strip malls and shopping centers. In order to effectively conduct and fund awareness campaigns and other efforts, the IRS approved GRHA as a charitable 501c3 organization status in Fall 2000. GRHA has also formed partnerships with other environmental organizations such as Missouri Coalition for the Environment, Missouri Department of Natural Resources, and Ducks Unlimited, etc. to effectively work on flood plain protection efforts. One of GRHA’s future goals is to acquire one or more conservation easements within the regional flood plain during 2001. The ultimate preservation goal is to protect 60,000 to 100,000 acres of land through easement acquisition and land purchases through federal, state, and private funding sources. The organization will continue making contacts with influential people addressing issues of concern.

At The St. Michael School of Clayton, a progressive educational experience, we believe it is the educator’s responsibility to teach and research along with the child and parent to support learning and success. We believe all children are strong, capable and intelligent. We believe the heart of learning is listening. Being fully attentive to children and listening enables children to build relationships and accelerates their learning. We listen to children and allow our children to take the initiative and yet, guide them in productive ways. The St. Michael School of Clayton is influenced by many progressive educational practices but rely on the Reggio approach to guide us day to day. The Reggio approach fosters a child’s intellectual development and encourages them to explore their environment and express themselves through multiple paths and all their languages including the expressive, communicative, symbolic, cognitive, ethical, metaphorical, logical, imaginative and relational.
