More than 375 alumni and their families, along with current and past faculty, helped cheer on the Greyhounds to victory during CHS’ Homecoming game at the Carl Rogge Alumni BBQ on Saturday, Oct. 10. Several classes hosted their reunion in conjunction with this annual event, which provided an additional opportunity to connect with classmates.

The day kicked off with the annual Homecoming parade, with student and alumni floats traveling from CHS to Gay Field. The parade was followed by the BBQ and a rousing Greyhound victory in their football game against Parkway West High School.

This year’s BBQ was named in memory of CHS’ oldest alum, Carl Rogge (‘28), who passed away on Aug. 4, 2015, at 104 years old. Rogge attended almost every Alumni BBQ since its inception and he was an avid Greyhound fan! Rogge’s family participated in the Homecoming parade and attended the BBQ where they met CHS alumni who shared stories about Carl.

While he has made a name Todd Rubin, president of The for himself in the tea business, he from paying attention in also founded the Rubin Global Republic of Tea and Clayton High School alum (‘99).

Susie wanted to to teach a design studio alongside a faculty member interview Rubin as part of the fifth-grade journalism each year. It also gives first-year graduate students the unit. She emailed him a few questions, and he agreed to opportunity to study urban and architectural design Skype with the class. Then Rubin surprised the class by during a weeklong trip to an international city, such as informing them he would be in town and able to take Copenhagen, Denmark; Baku, Azerbaijan; and Taipei, part in the interview in person.

Taiwan.

Based in California, Rubin has accomplished much since graduating from CHS in 1999. Following high school, he attended the five-year architecture program at Syracuse University that included one year of studying abroad in Florence, Italy. Rubin worked as an architect for three years at a firm in New York before he made the decision to switch careers and join the family business, The Republic of Tea. Working from the ground up, Rubin started in sales at the company and eventually transitioned into a marketing role. Earlier this year, Rubin took over for his father as the company’s president.

But even with so much success, Rubin still acknowledges the part that Clayton schools played in his life. During the interview at Captain, one student asked Rubin how his time in Clayton helped him in his career.

“Clayton taught me to be focused and organized, from paying attention in class to focusing on my education,” he said. “It grounded my education in subjects like math, history and science. Even though I don’t use those skills every day, that basis helped ground me as a person and as a business person.”

Rubin’s visit to Captain began with his interview with Susie. The class also chimed in with questions along the way, including everything from Rubin’s favorite tea flavor to how many U.S. states he has visited.

Following the interview, Rubin taught students about the many different kinds of tea his company sells.

Students learned which five countries are the largest growers of tea leaves and the difference between the tea leaves found in tea bags and tea brewed using whole tea leaves. Rubin then showed the fifth-graders how to correctly brew a pot of herbal tea (by steeping it for five to seven minutes), and he let them sample coconut cocoa tea and gingerbread tea.

Todd Rubin (‘99) discusses the various types of tea his company, The Republic of Tea, produces and the proper brewing technique with Captain Elementary fifth-graders in Ms. Ketzer’s classroom during his visit on Sept. 22.

CHILDREN’S AUTHOR AND ALUMNA VISITS MERAMEC Meramec Elementary students in kindergarten through third grade had a special visitor on Oct. 6. Meramec Elementary and CHS alumna Ellen Fischer (‘65) stopped by for a visit to share her new book, If an Elephant Went to School.

One student asked how she comes up with the ideas for the books she writes, and Fischer explained that the ideas come from everyday life experiences. She engaged students with a story about how her popular book, If an Armadillo Went to a Restaurant, came to fruition. The story stemmed from a game she and her grandson were playing at a restaurant while they were waiting for their food.

From the time she was a little girl Fischer knew she wanted to work with children. It was that calling that led her to become a teacher.

“When I went to school to Fischer’s visit to Meramec become a teacher, my focus served as an inspiration was on special education,” Meramec and CHS alumna Ellen Fischer (‘65) reads her new book, “If to students; she has been said Fischer. “I always knew and Elephant Went to School,” to Meramec Elementary kindergarteners able to pursue many of her on Oct. 6.

Fischer’s Although Fischer’s focus was in special education, she career path served as an example to Meramec students also taught English as a Second Language and various that they can do anything – and everything – they have grade levels throughout her 20-year teaching career. the motivation to pursue.

It wasn’t until she retired that she pursued her second calling, which was to write children’s books. While Fischer wrote her first book more than 40 years ago, she didn’t actually take it to a publisher until after she retired from teaching. Fischer has since spent the past eight years writing and publishing children’s books, with her eighth book to be released in March 2016.

After reading If an Elephant Went to School with the Meramec students, Fischer and the students shared what they have learned from school. Students also asked Fischer questions.
