The Apple Festival serves not only as a fund raiser for the Conference on Education, but as an opportunity to showcase some exciting educational programs taking place in the St. Louis area.
The participation by students and parents during the two days of the Festival gives a solid demonstration of many school districts working together and having a good time doing so.
The Conference on Education is a volunteer organization of lay citizens and professional educators working together to study and act on issues that promote quality education for Missouri school children.
