Growing Recognition for the Work in Wells-Goodfellow
North of Delmar has recently received encouraging recognition for the collaborative efforts taking place at Pierre Laclede Academy and throughout the Wells-Goodfellow neighborhood. Two major front-page articles published last month highlighted the progress being made and the partnerships driving this work forward.
We are grateful for the opportunity to share the story of the students, families, educators, and community partners who continue to make this work possible.
The Pierre Laclede “Community Hub”
Our primary focus is the continued development of the Pierre Laclede Community Hub. This model positions Pierre Laclede Academy as the "front door" for coordinated student and family services, bringing multiple supports together in one accessible location.
The Community Hub is designed to integrate services and programs that address a range of needs while creating opportunities for enrichment and leadership development. Current partners and initiatives include:
Healthcare Access through the IFM Family Medicine Clinic, providing medical services to students and their families.
Basic Needs Support through partnerships with The Little Bit Foundation.
Youth Leadership and Development through the planned introduction of Scouting programs.
Arts Enrichment through the ongoing Craft Alliance arts program.
By bringing these resources together under one umbrella, North of Delmar and its partners are working to create a coordinated approach that supports students both inside and outside the classroom.
