Students at Gateway STEM and Ladue High Schools collaborated to create, pitch, and produce a Public Service Announcement in partnership with KSDK-TV.
During working lunches, students met in Gateway's Media Center and formed teams, developed ideas, designed graphics and storyboards, then traveled to Ladue's Broadcast Studio to polish and pitch their projects to KSDK's Bryce Moore, reporter Alex Fees, and editor Austin Muschamp. The professionals were so impressed they said it was hard to choose a winner and suggested that all be credited with specific contributions to the PSA production process.
The winning team included our own Maddi Evans and Kaliya Stewart who traveled to the KSDK studio to edit the final video. When complete, all participants were invited to KSDK for a watch party and a studio tour. The PSA will air during newscasts, Show Me St. Louis, and on the KSDK website this month.
Gateway’s FIRST Tech Challenge Robotics team competed in the Missouri/Kansas Championship on Saturday.
During the qualifying rounds we won 5 out of 6 matches and were in a 7 way tie for second place. Tiebreak points had us in 6th place at that point.
Alliance selection moved our team up to become the Captain of the Number 4 Alliance. Our team chose 13312 The Bombers from John Burroughs and 10265 Force Green a community team.
We fought hard but we ended up losing in the Semi-Finals. Our team finished 4th overall out of 36 teams.
During the awards ceremony our team was honored to receive the MOTIVATE AWARD.
The senior class of Fire Fighting and Law Enforcement Students recently attended a fieldtrip to St. Louis Police Headquarters, where they toured the 911 Dispatch Center, the Real Time Crime Lab, and the Police Academy. They pose in the gym with Officer Regiana Moore and Sgt. Stephen Perry and our very own Kenneth Moore.

Please welcome our newest member to the STEM Team!
The orange and white one is Bumblebee: He is a shy guy working on coming out of his shell, but he is very sweet and cuddly once he gets to know you. Ms. B is going through the Churu treat flavors to see which one he likes best.
The brown tabby is Cricket: Mr. Personality is in the building! He loves to play and tumble around, but also takes time to check in on his brother. He loves all the Churu treat flavors and is already well on his way to being spoiled rotten!
They come to Gateway courtesy of Animal House Cat Rescue right here in St. Louis! They are a wonderful facility that really cares about finding cats the right home. They are a no-kill shelter and they do not have a time limit on the cats' stay, giving them time to find just the right family! If you would like more information or are looking to adopt your own friendly feline, here is a link to their website: https://www.stlcats.org/
Thank You, we are excited to welcome them to the school!
