Under Three Flags

Thursday, our grade 2 students had a real treat... They got to meet an author who has written about St. Louis history... Maureen Hoessle, author of "Under Three Flags," answered our students' thoughtful questions about history and writing books.

I just learned from Madame Christa (our English Teacher) that discounted copies of "Under Three Flags" will be available from the author for $10 (list price: $14.95).  Please let us know if you are interested in purchasing a copy.
