The National Weather Service in St. Louis, in coordination with partners across the region, are offering storm spotter classes at several locations to prepare for severe weather season. If you would like to assist your local community by becoming a volunteer storm spotter and reporting severe weather to the National Weather Service, or if you simply want to learn more about severe weather, consider attending one of our classes! Classes are normally held in the evening and last approximately 2 hours.
Attendees are taught the basics of thunderstorm development, storm structure, the features to look for, and where to find them. What, when, and how to report information, as well as basic severe weather safety, are also covered.
Classes are free and for all ages (even small children)! No pre-registration is required for in-person classes.
Join the Sisters and other Franciscans For Earth on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, at 6:30 pm Central via Zoom, for a free screening and discussion of the film Addicted to Plastic: The Rise and Demise of a Modern Miracle.According to the Bullfrog Film’s website, “Addicted to Plastic reveals the history and worldwide scope of plastics pollution, investigates its toxicity and explores solutions. From styrofoam cups to artificial organs, plastics are perhaps the most ubiquitous and versatile material ever invented. No invention in the past 100 years has had more influence and presence than synthetics. But such progress has had a cost.For better and for worse, no ecosystem or segment of human activity has escaped the shrink-wrapped grasp of plastic. Addicted To Plastic is a global journey to investigate what we really know about the material of a thousand uses and why there’s so darn much of it. On the way we discover a toxic legacy, and the men and women dedicated to cleaning it up.Addicted To Plastic is a point-of-view style documentary that encompasses three years of filming in 12 countries on 5 continents, including two trips to the middle of the Pacific Ocean where plastic debris accumulates. The film details plastic’s path over the last 100 years and provides a wealth of expert interviews on practical and cutting edge solutions to recycling, toxicity and biodegradability. These solutions – which include plastic made from plants – will provide viewers with a new perspective about our future with plastic.
