Students Help to Prevent Flooding

On the first day of spring vacation in lieu of sleeping in, Lindbergh High School Lacrosse players helped with sandbagging efforts to save some homes in one of the St. Louis, Mo. district's flooded subdivisions. Lindbergh District has been a Promising Practices winner and is a 2008 NSOC finalist. “Many homes were saved because of the wonderful volunteers who came from all around the area,” said Amy Richards, coordinator for character education. “The good news is that all of the rivers are going down today and the sun in shining as well."
