SUMMARY:War Pigeon! Missouri’s role in the training of pigeons and pigeoneers in WWII
DESCRIPTION:War Pigeon! Missouri’s role in the training of pigeons and pigeoneers in WWII \nNeosho\, Missouri found itself the home to Camp Crowder\, a US Army Signal Corps replacement training center\, built in 1942. In 1943\, the Army Signal Pigeon Corps moved from New Jersey to Missouri and began operations. Camp Crowder became the training and breeding home to the pigeon corps. Several of the ten Signal Pigeon Companies the Army created in WWII were built and training at Camp Crowder. In 1946 the pigeons moved back to New Jersey\, leaving an unusual history in the Missouri base that has long been forgotten. \nThe presentation covers the Pigeon Corps from 1917-1957\, with an emphasis on the training program at Camp Crowder. It also covers the unusual field formation of the Signal Pigeon Company\, the only Army formation capable of self-sustaining it’s own staffing due to breeding of birds. Stories of hero birds are also told. The program survived through the Korean War and was disbanded in 1957\, 40 years after it’s creation.

SUMMARY:Climate and Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Climate & Canvas is the culminating event of Gateway to the Great Outdoors’ (GGO) environmental arts program with students from Froebel Elementary School. Over several weeks\, students explored climate issues\, reflected on their connection to the environment\, and transformed their ideas into original sculptural works. The program combines environmental education with creative expression\, helping students understand their role in shaping a more sustainable future. \nTo celebrate their work\, we are hosting a free\, one-day public showcase on April 26th at the Contemporary Art Museum in St. Louis. Families\, friends\, and community members will be invited to experience the students’ sculptures and see how young artists are interpreting climate and environmental themes through art. \nThis event is made possible through community partnerships and sponsorships\, which support both the Climate & Canvas program and future opportunities for students to engage with environmental learning through the arts. By becoming a sponsor\, you help provide the resources that allow students to explore climate education in creative and meaningful ways while sharing their work with the broader community.
