With the new school year upon us, help get your kids’ brains working again with this fun, free daily email newsletter.
Brentwood and Maplewood Richmond Heights students are back to school, which means it’s time for an abundance of expensive school supplies, backpacks full of complicated text books and dreaded questions about math homework. With back-to-school stresses piling up, Laura Overdeck wants to let children and parents in on a little secret: math can be fun. Really. Overdeck is on a mission to change the way Americans think about math — especially given that math anxiety has been tracked in kids as young as age 5. This is what inspired her to create Bedtime Math, a nonprofit that sends out a daily email with a math problem tailored to “wee ones,” little and big kids. Sign up for the Bedtime Math daily newsletter, or scroll down to see a sample …

Hall plans to focus on international citizenship.
Karen Hall, Maplewood Richmond Heights school district’s new superintendent of schools, said many of her peers are in the same shoes she’s in, but she the “luckiest of them all.” Hall was assistant superintendent to Linda Henke the last five years. Henke took the job 12 years ago, when the district was close to losing accreditation. Now, in the last three years, the MRH school district received the highest score possible from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. “I feel that I’ve inherited such a gift,” Hall said. “To have worked side by side with Linda, and then to inherit this amazing school district.” Her first goal is to talk to the stakeholders in the community about what they love about MRH.
