Pattonville schools spent the weeks surrounding Veterans Day learning about and thanking local veterans for their service to the country. Several schools held special events.
The Kiwanis Kids (K-Kids) Green Team at Bridgeway Elementary held its first-ever pumpkin smash on Nov. 8. For the week after Halloween, the community was invited to drop off carved and uncarved pumpkins to the school. The purpose of the event was to reduce food waste.
The after-school club members and staff climbed up ladders and smashed the pumpkins to make compost for the Bridgeway garden and the community.
Bridgeway Elementary has six food garden beds in front of the school and the students prepared them before the event in order to create an outdoor STEM lab. The garden beds now have pumpkin pieces of various sizes, shapes and thicknesses so students can compare and contrast the speed of the decomposition process.
Filing for positions on the Pattonville School District Board of Education begins at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 6, and ends at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 27. Persons interested in running for a position on the school board may file at the Pattonville Learning Center, 11097 St. Charles Rock Road, St. Ann, Missouri. Candidates will be placed on the ballot in order of filing. There are three positions available on the April 4, 2023, election ballot, each with a three-year term. Board members whose terms are expiring are Brian Gray as well as Lisa Kickbusch and Ruth Petrov who were appointed in 2022 to fill open positions. Their appointment lasts until the April election, but because both are filling terms that were set to expire in 2023, all open positions will be for a three-year term.
Each month during the school year, the Pattonville Board of Education honors students, staff and volunteers who have gained recognition outside of the district or who’ve made a special contribution to the educational programs in Pattonville. Learn more about students and staff who were recognized in November.
