Drummond Elementary School partners with Kids Vision for Life (KVFL) to ensure students have the resources they need to be able to learn. The program provides comprehensive vision services to elementary and middle school students in the St. Louis area at no cost to families. At Drummond, they screen each student’s vision and then provide eye exams with any students who need additional review. If a student needs glasses, they will provide glasses free of charge, and if a student breaks or misplaces them, KVFL will also give them replacement glasses.

The cook-off is a spirited competition where teachers, staff and even the local police and fire departments prepare their own signature chili recipes. To add an extra layer of creativity, teams decorate their tables and don costumes based on their chosen theme.
