Dear Parents,

As you know, the entire world is dealing with the impacts of Covid-19, and how best to respond to what we now know is a pandemic. 

Considering these unprecedented circumstances and following the advice of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and local health experts, Girls Incorporated of St. Louis has made the difficult decision to close our center beginning Wednesday, March 18, 2020 through April 3, 2020.  We will be open on Tuesday, March 17, 2020 until 6:00 p.m.  Please plan pick-up by 6:00 p.m.  

To support our families, during this time the staff will work remotely to ensure business continuity. 

Updates and changes to our operations schedule will be communicated via emails, Facebook and our website, https://www.girlsincstl.org/.  Please reach out to Ms. Crystal Ford immediately to update your email and telephone contact information. Also, attached is a document entitled:  Talking to Kids About the Coronavirus.

We understand the importance of health and safety and what that means to our girls, their families and our staff.  Also, we pray for persons who have contracted the virus and all healthcare workers who are on the frontline fighting to save lives and searching for a cure.   In the meantime, please be safe.

Sincerely,

Cheryl Jones
