📚✨ OUR STUDENTS ARE ABOUT TO BECOME PUBLISHED AUTHORS! ✨📚

We were excited to welcome St. Louis author Aja La'Starr Owens to Lift For Life Academy as she introduced the Young Authors Society, an incredible new program launching in our Lower Middle School!

Ten students will have the opportunity to work directly with Aja to develop and write their own stories. Their work will be published in a book and made available for purchase, with proceeds returning to the school to help keep this inspiring project going for future young authors.

We can’t wait to see our students’ creativity, voices, and stories come to life!

CELEBRATING 12 YEARS OF LEADERSHIP! ❤️🖤

The Lift For Life Academy community gathered at the St. Louis Woman’s Club to honor Scott Dolan as he steps down after an incredible 12-year tenure as Board Chair.

As Labor Day approaches, it feels especially fitting to recognize Scott’s years of dedicated work, leadership and unwavering commitment to our mission. His service has made a lasting impact on our school and the lives of countless students and families.

While we are sad to see Scott step down as Board Chair, we are grateful that he is not leaving the Lift For Life family completely, and will continue to serve on the board!

We are also excited to welcome Kate Hatfield as our new Board Chair and look forward to the leadership, passion and vision she will bring to this role.

Please join us in thanking Scott for 12 remarkable years of service and congratulating Kate as she begins this new chapter! ❤️🖤
