Members of the ICAC Task Force in O’Fallon, MO join Hannah Dyksen, Westhoff Elementary Technology Teacher, to discuss the dangers and best practices with all those new tech toys students are going to receive this year.

Students and staff at Fort Zumwalt West Middle have created an atmosphere of student driven giving and community involvement. Their efforts have raised money and awareness for many causes, but this month the school will be the first ever to make their own Polar Plunge for Special Olympics.

Laura and Juan visit several of the Veteran’s Day activities in Fort Zumwalt schools to hear stories from veterans bring us a new experience to a great event

In our conversation with Board President Mike Swaringim and Board Vice President Mike MacCormack about the work of a school board we learned what it means to them to lead our staff and students.

The Fort Zumwalt South High Boys Soccer team just became the Missouri Class 3A Champions. We talk with their coaches and several players about their big win and learn how they got here.

We'll take you all around the Fort as the Activities Coordinators sit down to help us get ready for the upcoming winter season. They've got updates on everything from basketball and wrestling to dance and winter drumline. Listen in for what's coming up at our high schools.

Find out what kept Joe Sutton (North High Principal) and Buddy Entwistle (South Middle Principal) in town and working in our schools.

We meet with Superintendent Dr. Bernie DuBray and O’Fallon Police Chief Roy Joachimstaler to discuss school safety. From facility security to community partnerships, we all have a role in giving students a safe, secure learning environment.
