When newborn animals appear on the social media feed, births at a zoo can seem like magic. But behind every adorable arrival is a meticulous, collaborative effort backed by months of quiet preparation at the Saint Louis Zoo. Across North America, accredited zoos participate in science-backed “matchmaking” to protect the health, diversity, and future of species in their care. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plans evaluate genetics, heredity, compatibility, and more to recommend suitable breeding pairs in North American zoos.
Julie Hartell-DeNardo, the Kevin Beckmann curator of carnivores, leads a team of keepers that have celebrated an incredible baby boom in recent years: Amur tiger triplets, cheetah quintuplets, two Amur leopard cubs, and the Zoo’s first-ever litter of African painted dog pups. These births were not the result of magic, but rather intentional conservation aimed at ensuring species’ survival.
Once a compatible breeding pair is identified, the Zoo’s Animal Care team begins introductions through a process called “howdy access.”
Animals are allowed to smell, hear, and see each other through barriers as keepers monitor for signs of interest. If all goes well, the pair is introduced. For the staff who know these animals, it’s a diligent process, and that requires profound responsibility.
Beyond medical care, there are also habitat conditions and natural behaviors to consider. Ahead of the Zoo’s painted dog births, Hartell-DeNardo’s team collaborated with national partners to understand ideal birthing conditions. Zoo carpenters refined den box designs. Technology Services staff installed a new remote monitoring system. These upgrades offered mom a safe, quiet space to deliver while keepers unobtrusively observed. Hartell-DeNardo describes the Zoo’s primary role as that of a “supportive bystander.” While many guests dream of cuddling a cheetah cub, she says the greatest reward is seeing family units thrive independently. It’s the surest sign of a strong future for these species.
When the magical news of a Zoo baby breaks, all of St. Louis has something to celebrate. Yes, it’s the arrival of a new adorable animal, but it’s also a powerful step forward in protecting wildlife for generations to come.
Some might view their 90s as a time for rest, but Reva Davis continues to inspire students with the infectious energy of someone half her age.
For four decades, Davis has dedicated herself to Ladue schools, including 36 consecutive years as a Science Olympiad coach. In January 2026, Davis was surprised by students, staff, and former coworkers to celebrate her 92nd birthday – and her countless, immeasurable contributions to the school district.
“Her service is invaluable,” says Kimberly McKenzie, the district’s director of communications. “She’s still giving because she still has so much to offer.”
Although Davis technically retired in 2007, you wouldn’t know it by her constant presence at Ladue Middle School. The former social studies teacher regularly volunteers within the district and around Ladue, serving as a reminder that giving back doesn’t have to end when you stop working. “It just keeps you connected to the community,” she says.
A primary challenge educators face is connecting across generations, and sometimes bridging the divide can be especially difficult the further removed you are from the students you teach. Davis is an exception.
“These are the nicest kids who want to learn,” Davis says. “Their families are supportive. You’ve got people who really want to succeed and do things. And now, I’ve lived long enough that I
see other things they’ve done in life. It gives you great pleasure.”
Davis has served as a coach since 1990 on Ladue Middle School’s Science Olympiad team, joining a year after 8th-grade science teacher Martin Long started the team. During her tenure, the team has qualified for the national finals more times than any other school in Missouri (29), including 19 state titles.
“She has been the ‘mom’ of the team for so many years,” Long says. “She is also notorious for spending way too much time in gift shops on the team’s trips to the national finals.”
Another colleague, 8th-grade science teacher Michael Clay, has taught at Ladue Middle School for 17 years and only knows Davis for her work through Science Olympiad. According to Clay, Davis prepares for hours in advance to make sure kids are ready to compete: “She never misses a chance to work with the children,” he says.
In addition to the surprise birthday celebration, Davis received the Ladue Legacy Award in March 2026 for her years of working in the community. While the accolade is certainly well-deserved, it’s just another reminder of something everyone who’s worked with Davis already knew: She’s the best.
“Those who know Reva are made better by the relationship,” Clay adds. “Once you have met her, you will be nothing short of in awe with the incredible person she is.”

When Emily Murphy of Emily Hall Interiors stepped foot into the living room of this Clayton home, it became clear the space didn’t need reinvention – only revival.
At first, the rooms felt dark and a bit heavy. “The natural light was being swallowed by black window trim, deep paint colors, and bulky window treatments,” she explains. “However, there were so many beautiful original elements: the leaded glass windows, the arched openings, the molding details … but none of them were being highlighted. It was one of those homes where the charm was
all there; we just needed to bring it back to life.”
Murphy began by making the walls and window trim lighter and rethinking furniture scale. “We allowed the architecture to breathe and brought in pieces that elevated the character rather than competing with it,” she says. The result is an uplifting, soft space, where every detail is intentional. “Color played a big role: muted blues, romantic corals, cheerful yellows, and rich navies helped define each space while still keeping everything cohesive.”
Murphy selected a neutral sofa, colorful pillows, and a blue hide for the stools to play off the home’s art, which was painted by the owner. “Each piece works because
it respects the home’s architecture while adding personality,” she says. “This is one of those projects that reminds me why I love what I do. Seeing a historic home regain its brightness, charm, and warmth, and watching it evolve into a place that truly supports the way the family lives – it’s incredibly rewarding.”
It also serves as a rather beautiful reminder for Murphy: Great design doesn’t require erasing character but rather enhancing it. “This home had such a beautiful story already; our job was simply to help it shine,” Murphy says. “Our clients trusted the vision wholeheartedly, which always leads to the best outcome!”

No Boring Birthdays
By Andrea Smith
Entertaining kids can be a challenge at any age – especially as they grow up and become too cool for character cakes. Local mom Jamean Flowers, owner of Kidz Play STL (kidzplaystl.com), often sees a shift in kids becoming more opinionated about their birthday parties between ages 7 and 9. “[That’s] when kids really start caring about the vibe of their party. They’re more aware of trends, aesthetics, and what their friends will think,” Flowers says. “By 10 to 13, they typically want strong input – and honestly, giving them guided autonomy works beautifully.”
Consider this inspiration for guiding kids toward the birthday bash of their dreams.
TODDLERS & KIDS
Embrace cute themes that reflect your little’s current obsession. Kidz Play’s soft-play packages are customizable to match any theme and provide a fun, safe space for wobbly toddlers who like to climb. Level up with a Bounce + Bash Co. bouncer (instagram.com/bounceandbashco), colorful balloons, and a coordinating photo backdrop. Elementary-age kids will burn energy on a bouncer of any size, but consider the sizable lineup at The Bounce House Company (stlbouncehouse.com), which rents out inflatable obstacle courses, bouncers with slides, and more.
For young creatives, inquire about Kidz Play’s craft packages – many of which Flowers designed to accommodate kids with sensory sensitivities. A trending craft lately is the build-your-own fairy garden that combines interests in the outdoors, art, and character figurines. “It’s an ideal activity for children ages 4 to 7, allowing them to decorate fairy houses with paint, glitter, stones, and stickers,” describes Maja Leonoudakis-Becker of Party Animal STL (instagram.com/partyanimalstl).
TWEENS & TEENS
Flowers encourages parents and guardians to let their preteens choose a theme or “energy” for their party – think sporty, glamorous, adventurous, or creative – and offer two or three curated options instead of unlimited choices. “It keeps them empowered without overwhelming them,” she says. Ask: “What do you and your friends love right now? Do you want something high-energy or more chill? Do you want everyone doing one big activity together or at stations?”
Bounce + Bash recently worked with Flowers to bring a “TenTok” party to life that featured balloon installations with the TikTok logo and colors, bright marquee letters from Alpha-Lit St. Louis (alphalitletters.com/ st-louis), a Glow Booth photo op (glowbooths.com), and creative stations by Kidz Play.
Leaning into interests also inspires exciting activities: Play soccer or capture the flag with Knockerball St. Louis’ human-sized inflatable balls (knockerballstlouis.com), or if limited on space, create a sports barlike environment to watch a few games with snacks and sodas. Stylish partygoers will appreciate an opportunity to craft custom hats and jackets with iron-on patches or accessorize an item with charms – both popular options offered by Kidz Play and Party Animal STL.

The passing in late 2025 of Tom Stoppard, perhaps the greatest English-language playwright in the last 60 years, helped bring about the upcoming collaboration of the St. Louis Shakespeare Festival and Albion Theatre. The two local professional theater companies are joining forces to produce “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead” at the Kranzberg Black Box Theatre from March 26 to April 11.
Shakespeare Festival artistic director Tom Ridgely says that Stoppard’s passing didn’t spur the idea of a collaboration with Albion Theatre directly, “but I do think that was a pretty big part of it. It was our producer Colin O’Brien’s idea originally, and it was only a few weeks after Stoppard had passed. Arguably the greatest living playwright when he died, and this was arguably his masterpiece.”
Ridgely notes that “as soon as we got serious about the idea of doing it, I thought of Robert [Ashton, artistic director,] and Albion.
We share a board member, Monica Allen. … It seemed natural, given [Albion’s] focus on British writers.”
Ashton reports he and Ridgely did “talk about possible ways to cooperate, although we did work in very different theatrical environments – the Festival mainly in large outdoor spaces and Albion in a 60-seat, black box theater. We did share a theme of producing plays by British playwrights.”
“Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” focuses on two minor characters described as “courtiers, friends of Hamlet,” in The Bard’s enduring tragedy, which Shakespeare Festival mounted last year to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
“The way the two plays interact is extremely precise and funny,” Ridgely notes. “A good amount of the Stoppard play is direct quotations from Shakespeare, and the rest imagines what might have been happening while these relatively minor characters were offstage.”
Stoppard, whose canon includes “Arcadia,” “Leopoldstadt,” “Road to Utopia,” “Travesties,” and many others, “is viewed by many as one of the greatest playwrights in English of the modern era,” says Ashton. “His ability to look at complex philosophical and scientific issues in an understandable and engaging way is exceptional. His earlier works reflect the influence of [Irish playwright and poet Samuel] and other absurdist/existentialist writers as well as musical hall [or vaudeville].”
The joint presentation, says Ridgely, “has been a great collaboration. The great thing about these partnerships is that you end up with something completely different – and much better – than you could have ever come up with on your own.”

On South Grand, Persian cuisine crafted from generations of timetested recipes has returned to The Gin Room. In January, mother and daughter duo Hamishe and Natasha Bahrami rejoined forces at the Tower Grove East mainstay following Hamishe’s retirement in 2022.
After a fulfilling few years of traveling and exploring hobbies at home, Hamishe longed to cook for friends and fans again. “That’s what makes me happy,” she says. “Coming back to work, I’m seeing people I haven’t seen for a long time, and that’s the best part. It’s like having my family back.”
The Bahramis have contributed to the area’s food and beverage scene for more than 40 years. In 1983, Hamishe opened her first restaurant, The Little Kitchen, in downtown St. Louis with her late husband Behshid. Ten years later, the married couple debuted Café Natasha on Delmar Boulevard, later relocating the business to South City – where Natasha opened The Gin Room as a counterpart to the dining concept in 2013.
Natasha and her husband, Michael Fricker, operated the restaurant side of the business as Salve Osteria from 2022 until recently, when Hamishe made a triumphant comeback. For the closeknit family members, the heartwarming welcome from the community has felt like a joyous homecoming. Former patrons from near and far have returned to taste many of their favorites from Café Natasha, now available as The Gin Room’s regular food offerings.
The powerhouse female-led team cooks up scratch-made Iranian signatures alongside The Gin Room’s extensive education-focused beverage program, which includes 400-plus gin options. “Think of comfort food like steak and potatoes but it’s beef kabobs and rice,” Natasha says. “Once you have it, you feel like you’ve been missing it your whole life.”
In addition to mouthwatering marinated and spiced kabobs, the “Eats. By Mom” menu features specialties such as succulent braised lamb biryani combined with fragrant cumin seed, chickpeas, caramelized onions, and jus. “It’s a bowl of happiness,” Natasha says. Like many others, she’s delighted to see delicious dishes – including her mother’s famous beef tongue, housemade tart yogurt dip, lentil soup, and walnut baklava – back on the bill of fare.
At its heart, this incarnation of The Gin Room reestablishes what the Bahramis have always done best, serving wholesome, memorable meals and libations with the same warmth the family has always extended to their guests.
“Having the community we’ve been a part of for so long come back and embrace us has been more than we could have ever expected,” Natasha says. “St. Louis has been so massively supportive, and I feel like with all that’s going on in the world, it’s just good to have this [energy back in it].”

BETTER Together

In 2023, three St. Louis leaders in nonprofit development realized the organizations they lead could bring more benefit to many clients by coordinating their service offerings together versus working individually.
By collaborating, they hope to help enhance and support the St. Louis area’s nonprofit offerings through the Nonprofit Synergy Alliance.
“We recognized that each of our organizations was serving the nonprofit community in distinct but highly complementary ways. We saw an opportunity to bring those strengths together in a more intentional collaboration,” says Rachel Covington, executive director of Community Value Alliance, one of three partner organizations that formed the Nonprofit Synergy Alliance.
Together with Peter Kinsella, executive director of Mission Realty Advisors, and Dan Reynolds, president of Holmes Radford & Reynolds, Covington says the Nonprofit Synergy Alliance offers nonprofits a more comprehensive range of support, “from organizational formation and business operations to feasibility studies, fundraising strategy, and facility solutions. Rather than expecting nonprofits to navigate multiple providers on their own, we wanted to create a more coordinated, streamlined approach.”
Covington’s expertise is in strategic planning, organizational development, major gifts, and board building. Kinsella brings experience
in real estate and strategic facility development. Reynolds specializes in fund development plans, annual fund programs, and capacity building initiatives.
To access services through the alliance, organizations in St. Louis and the broader region begin by sharing information about their needs through the alliance’s website where the request is directed to one or more appropriate partner organizations. “Clients typically seek assistance with a wide range of challenges, including strategic and organizational planning, operational improvements, fundraising strategy, feasibility studies, and facility-related needs,” Reynolds says. The cost for services is set below market rates, he adds.
In essence, the alliance offers one-stop shopping for nonprofits seeking assistance in growth and planning. “We work collaboratively through [the alliance] to evaluate incoming inquiries, understand the full scope of a nonprofit’s needs, and connect that organization with the partner, or combination of partners, best equipped to provide the right solutions,” says Kinsella. “This structure allows us to preserve our individual areas of expertise while offering nonprofits the benefit of a coordinated, teambased approach.”
For instance, a nonprofit may need assistance with fundraising strategy, assessing organizational capacity, improving operations, or planning for facility needs. The alliance will align these services so the organization receives guidance based on a coordinated approach rather than individual silos.
Examples of this collaborative model already exist through the alliance’s burgeoning portfolio: Mission Realty Advisors partnered with Holmes Radford & Reynolds on work for the R&R Marketplace and the Miriam School and Learning Center, and all three organizations are aiding Kinetic Tapestry Physical Theatre.
One specific area of focus for the alliance is in nonprofit mergers. “Nonprofits face increasing pressure to operate efficiently, strengthen sustainability, and reduce duplication of services. A well-planned merger can improve financial stability, expand program impact, and increase organizational reach,” Covington says. “Beyond those benefits, mergers can build capacity by bringing together complementary expertise, networks, and infrastructure. While mergers are not the right solution in every case, they’re becoming a more frequent and important consideration in the nonprofit sector.”
Covington, Kinsella, and Reynolds want nonprofit leaders to know the alliance is ready to help streamline assistance through its efficient and affordable model. “Instead of spending time and resources searching for multiple providers, organizations can come to one place for coordinated expertise that saves both time and money while helping them build longterm strength and impact,” Covington says.
