Bridget Condie scores the game winner with a perfect pass from Claire Ringenberg.
It took a shade under 85 minutes, but the MICDS girls soccer team won the battle of Ladue, defeating the visiting Ladue Rams 2-1 in overtime. This was a see-saw match that could have gone either way. Billed as the battle of the year, the combatants did not disappoint. The play and intensity increased as the game went on. See game photos on the Ladue-Frontenac Facebook page. Both sides featured great runs, hard shots; physical play and great goal tending. While Fran Shannon was making point-blank saves on the Ladue end, both Liz Lewis and Ines Oulamine were brilliant in nets for MICDS. Ladue got the initial goal of the game at 34:25, Natasha Medler zinged in a free kick some 35 yards over the outstretched hands of Lewis. The Ladue Rams were…

Original vases from DeDe Boudinet's Kindergarten class to celebrate the day.
DeDe Boudinet's Kindergarten class at Old Bonhomme School has been working on art projects to help celebrate Mothers' Day 2013 with their moms. The students made greeting cards and decorated flower vases to celebrate the day. Boudinet has learned over the years that a hand-made gift from a child is significantly more meaningful than a store-bought gift any day. Here the children are feverishly at work doing the decorating to wrap up that special gift. Hear from the teacher herself about the progress made by the pupils during the school year about to wrap up by early June.

Guess which Rams' freshman found the back of the nets 3 times?
The animated Ladue soccer public address announcer likes to yell out the name this way: Lizzzzzy Pooooooo-yoooo. He’s had the opportunity to yell that many times this season.

That news comes two weeks after Ladue Horton Watkins High was left off the list of top-ranked Missouri schools by U.S. News & World Report.
When U.S. News & World Report released its ranking of the nation's high schools on April 23, Ladue Horton Watkins High School wasn't on the list. The news had some parents wondering and prompted a response from the Ladue School District. The short answer: U.S. News didn't include students who had taken end-of-course algebra I tests in eighth grade. It only counts the numbers from high schoolers. But now, a new ranking is out and it puts Ladue High at the head of the class among Missouri high schools. Newsweek has released its online ranking of the top 2,000 high schools in the country and Ladue ranks 166 in the country, the highest ranking among Missouri schools. The next closest is Clayton at 179. Ladue's ranking is up from 188 last year…
