ALTON – Mississippi Valley Christian School proudly announced its transformation into Riverbend Christian Leadership Academy during a special community event last Friday night, Jan. 31, 2025. Families, students, and faculty gathered for an evening of fun and fellowship, highlighted by two action-packed students-versus-parents basketball games.

ST. LOUIS – Today, the Board of Aldermen moved two bills to the informal calendar, ending debate on the Rams Settlement legislation. Mayor Jones issued the following statement in response: “When we received the Rams Settlement funds, my initial recommendation was to hold on to the bulk of the funds and live off the interest due to the uncertainty of federal elections and how the economy would react.

After almost a year and a half of public input and months of debate and compromise among City leaders, the public, and other stakeholders, it’s clear that there are a number of projects and programs this money could have supported that would result directly in notable quality-of-life improvements for everyone in St. Louis.
