St. Louis Front Page - "The Most St. Louis Friendly Web Site"

The St. Louis Rams players, coaches and front office staff constructed a new play space, complete with slides, climbing structures and a safe rubber flooring built in custom Rams' colors at Monroe eMINTS Academy.

St. Louis Rams Players, Coaches and Front Office Staff Take On Second Annual Playground Build
ST. LOUIS (SLFP.com), June 8, 2010 - Despite a forecast of heavy rain and high winds for June 8, the St. Louis Rams players, coaches and front office staff headed to South St. Louis City to construct a playground, assist with painting and provide general clean up of Monroe eMINTS Academy.

"We are excited about our playground build and improvement plan at Monroe eMINTS Academy," said Rams Head Coach Steve Spagnuolo. "It is important for the St. Louis Rams to invest in the St. Louis community and its youth. This playground and campus improvements will be great motivators for these students to continue their academic, as well as fitness growth."

Monroe serves approximately 250 students (pre-kindergarten to sixth grade) and is currently without a playground. According to the U.S. Dept of Education, over 95 percent of their students qualify for free or reduced lunch, one of the highest percentages in the St. Louis Public School District. A recent fitness assessment also determined that 32 percent of the Monroe students are overweight or obese further illustrating the school's need for assistance.

The new play space will be complete with slides, climbing structures and a safe rubber flooring built in custom Rams' colors. The playground will encourage students to be active and healthy in support of the NFL's Play 60 program, a youth health and fitness campaign focused on encouraging kids to be active for at least 60 minutes a day.

The Rams are partnering with playground provider, NuToys on the project. The team's first playground build was in East St. Louis in June of 2009.

City Library Kicksoff "Water Your Mind... Read" Program
ST. LOUIS (SLFP.com), May 11, 2010 - The St. Louis Public Library is proud to announce the 2010 kickoff of its annual reading club for adult and high school readers, Pageturners.

The popular program continues through Saturday, August 7, at all St. Louis Public Library locations. This year's theme, "Water Your Mind... Read," is inspired by summer being a time of renewal and growth - but only if plants are watered regularly. Likewise, it is important that we all take time to water our minds by reading to keep us fresh and invigorated. It's a fun and rewarding way to spend the summer.

To take part in Pageturners, readers should register ONCE at any Library location. They'll receive a reading log to keep track of the books, magazines, or audio books that they complete. Each person who signs up and completes the program by reading or listening to 10 books will receive a reading certificate and special Pageturners prizes. Those who complete the club also have the chance to win two tickets to a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game and are entered into a drawing to win a laptop computer! Participants must be high school age or older and current valid St. Louis Public Library cardholders. No prizes will be awarded after August 7.

Those looking for great ideas for something new to read should visit the "Book Lovers" section of our website, slpl.org. There they'll find fiction, mystery, fantasy, science fiction, romance, graphic novels, literary fiction, and non-fiction titles to try.

Major funding and support for Pageturners is provided by the St. Louis Cardinals. For more information, visit any Library location, the Library's website at slpl.org, or call 314-539-0340.
