Community School Activities Abbreviated by Teacher Strike

March 1979

Historical March 1979 report or notice. Dates, prices, programs, contacts and any regulatory statements refer to the original period; current availability or applicability is not established.

The closing down of the St. Louis Public Schools due to the Teachers’ Strike has curtailed most of the Programs offered by the Hamilton Community School.

Through the generosity of Grace Methodist Church allowing the Community School classroom space, classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings have continued. Hamilton Community School’s Home School Assistant, Peggy Calvin, is working with the Dairy Council, the City’s Department of Welfare Nutrition Division and the Des Peres Branch Library in holding a special two hour lunch program. Grace and Peace Fellowship has graciously provided space for the program which includes structured learning activities as well as a balanced lunch. Without the cooperation of these two fine neighborhood institutions, Hamilton Community School would be less than viable.

The Courses now meeting, as well as the Lunch Program; will be housed in the Community until the school buildings are once again open.
