State Executive Director Brittany Crabtree and Ciara Cheatum, program officer, visited the facilities and learned more about how AmeriCorps members provide extra support for students and teachers in the classroom to help improve academic achievement. They also visited and learned more about the Snack in a Pack program which is managed by AmeriCorps members. AmeriCorps members also help students feel supported through the many transitions that can occur due to military service.
“This is the only AmeriCorps program in Missouri that is supporting military families - and we were proud to visit directly with members and say thank you for their service,” they stated on ServMO Facebook page.

About Lady Dracula
Step inside the academy, where an unsettling feeling lingers and the sense of being watched never quite fades. Students whisper of strange figures moving through the moonlit halls or the voices when no one is there. And in the heart of it all, behind the royal purple and lightning, she waits. Lady Dracula has awoken once more.
