a shining legacy | The Ladue District honored Reva Davis, a beloved educator and coach who recently celebrated her 92nd birthday. While she retired more than a decade ago, Davis’ passion for student mentorship and science has never wavered. For 36 consecutive years, she coached Science Olympiad events. “Reva represents the very heart of the Ladue Schools community,” says Kimberly McKenzie, director of communications. “Her commitment to our students’ intellectual growth transcends her retirement. Even at 92, she continues to show up, inspire and educate. She is a reminder that the impact of a great teacher never truly ends.”

The St. Louis Senior Olympics have rebranded! Hosted by The J, the annual event will return this year as the St. Louis Legends Games.
