The first graders at PAW-kwood … ahem, I mean Parkwood Elementary celebrated the 101st day of school with a 101 Dalmatian Celebration.

Students had a dress up day and wore black and white clothes and created their own dalmatian headbands and Froot Loop dog tags this morning. Each activity made students practice counting to 101.

Students in Brooke Callan’s Algebra 1 class at Pattonville High School did a creative assignment to learn more about using polynomials.

Junior Lucas Gerst constructed an “airbag” type contraption using momentum and impulse concepts he learned in Erin Mulanax’s Physics class.

The purpose of the lab was to protect an egg from cracking or breaking when dropped from the top of the stairs to the swimming pool spectator area.

Gerst spent two full nights working on his design.

“I was a little scared the egg might slip out of the protective pyramid I built, but it was fine and everything stayed together,” he said.

Gerst and Bartholomew (that’s what he named his egg) earned all 15 points for passing the “airbag” test.

Dear Pattonville families and staff,

I’m writing to update you on a few things. First, I want to acknowledge and thank our staff members who have done a tremendous job keeping our schools open and operating at a high level despite the significant spike in COVID-19 cases in our schools. Our staff members are stepping up to cover classes on their plan time, and other staff are filling in where we have gaps due to illness. I’ve never been prouder of our staff for their fortitude, perseverance and care during this difficult time. Below is some other important information to know.
