Junior Creates Video that Showcases Rams Community
Over summer break, Aanya Tiwari ’23 again led the charge to make a welcome video for new students joining the Rams community. The video was shared at the Upper School Bridge orientation program. “The video provides the new students a more informal and personalized look into MICDS school life and of course, its community,” she shared. She interviewed students and teachers by asking them two questions:
- What stands out to you about MICDS?
- What is one or more of your favorite memories at MICDS?
Watch the finished product below! Great work, Aanya!

MICDS Football Traditions Cherished from Fathers to Sons
MICDS Football was featured on KSDK last Friday in a video highlighting how several of the players have fathers who played football as Rams, too. Watch the video below to see how the legacy of the MICDS football program has been cherished from generation to generation. We are grateful for these alumni, our current players, and our current and past coaches.
As the Rams continue in the playoffs, the MICDS Football program will be inducted into the Missouri Hall of Fame this Sunday. Way to go, Rams!
Teacher Speaks About Book and the Evolution of Womanpower at Veterans Day Event
On Thursday, our very own Dr. Tanya Roth, Upper School History Teacher and published author, spoke at a hybrid in-person and virtual Veterans Day event with the World Affairs Council of St. Louis. She discussed the topic of her new book, Her Cold War, at the event called “Why Womanpower Matters in the Military.” She also explored how the evolution of womanpower in the military during the Cold War impacted servicewomen and the US armed forces today.
