To work to create and facilitate ways for individuals, businesses, and organizations to help the St. Louis Public Schools successfully fullfill their mission of educating children. People who have the resources to buy and maintain homes in the City of St. Louis require safe effective schools. The community's problems are reflected and magnified in the St. Louis Public Schools. This is a regional issue and any programs and methods that can be piloted and proven effective need to be offered to the schools districts in trouble across the river in Illinois.
Individuals can make a positive difference.
Many of the most effective efforts to help people begin with one person helping another. There is ample evidence of this from Princess Diana to Mother Theresa to the local food pantry. Comprehensive solutions will require the active support, involvement, and cooperation of the all major regional assets-public, private, government, religious, community, and education institutions. The successful development of the community's children, especially the central core's children, represents the most critical investment the region can make in itself. The investment in buildings,airports, roads,etc.is important, but a distant second.
