Pattonville High School junior Haley Edmonds and her friends wanted to make the holiday season a little better for families struggling financially. She approached the district with an idea and launched Pattonville Gives.
“Instead of buying gifts for each other, we wanted to be able to donate gifts to kids in need,” Edmonds said. “I thought that if I started something in the school district, it would help more people locally and that I would actually be able to help.”
Two Pattonville seniors signed letters of intent to play college-level athletics next year. Madison Bailey signed to further her softball and academic careers at Kaskaskia College, and Kaeli Benedict signed to play women’s soccer and pursue her degree at Missouri State University.
Twenty-one students in Mary Favazza’s Introduction to Culinary Arts class at Pattonville High School completed the ServSafe Food Handler online course and passed the final exam to earn their ServSafe certification.
