Two Crossroads students have received special recognition recently. Tavia Evans, a senior, was accepted to the United States Senate Youth Program and also was awarded a $2,000 scholarship to the university of her choice. Tavis is a member of the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Board and organizes programs for youth at Vashon, Beaumont, and the Darst-Webbe housing projects.
She also is Crossroads’ representative to the Metropolitan Model United Nations. Fellow Crossroads student Erika Williams has been selected to receive the annual Dr. Martin Luther King Leadership and Legacy Award. John H. Thomas Jr., resident of 57)x Waterman with his wife and two children, has been hired as the new Youth and Community Coordinator for Grace Methodist Church. Thomas has lived in Skinker DeBaliviere for over 20 years. Thomas will assume responsibility for implementing Breitmayer 96 at Grace. Thomas wants `to add something to the fabric of the community, to the lives of our youth, to family stability, to personal development.” He may be reached at 863-1992. Dee Joyce-Hayes, neighborhood resident and St. Louis’s Circuit Attorney, has added another dimension to her career: She’s teaching a course at the Washington University School of Law on courtroom practices.
Also in the academic mode, Greg Freeman, our resident Post columnist, is teaching classes at Webster and Washington Universities. At the latter, his seminar addresses how the media influence public policy.
