Dear Pattonville families and staff,

Thanks to a partnership with the Pattonville Fire Protection District, Pattonville is offering a vaccine clinic specifically for Pattonville families and students ages 12 and older. Pattonville fire department representatives will be on hand to administer the Pfizer vaccine, which is authorized by the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use on students aged 12 and older. 

The first vaccine clinic will be held from 4 to 8 p.m., Thursday, June 3 in the gymnasium at Pattonville High School, with a follow up clinic for the second dose on Thursday, June 24. Appointments are available by pre-registration only at the following link: http://bit.ly/PSDvaccines6-3-21.

Children ages 18 and under can access free summer meals through Pattonville’s participation in the federal Seamless Summer Program. Offered through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the program is designed to ensure students have access to meals during the summer when school is not in session.

Pattonville's virtual District Appreciation Night ceremony was held on May 3. The event, which celebrates staff and volunteers who make a difference in supporting Pattonville students and schools, included pre-recorded video as well as live surprise announcements of the district's Teacher and Support Staff of the Year honorees for 2021.

Members of the Spongey Books from Parkwood Elementary raised their arms in celebration when the final points totals were posted and they realized they won this year’s district-wide Mark Twain Book Battle. They narrowly defeated two teams from Rose Acres that tied for second place and it took three tie-breaker questions to determine the final standings. Another team from Parkwood finished in fourth. 

The Book Battle is an annual trivia-type competition hosted by Pattonville's school library technology specialists. During the event, teams of students compete on their knowledge of a predesignated list of books. For the elementary contest, participating students read from among the 12 books nominated by the Missouri Association of School Librarians for the Mark Twain Readers Award.

Students at Parkwood wrapped up their Virtual STEAM Fair and paraprofessional Brandy Fowler distributed certificates and ribbons to the winners last week.

“Those receiving honors will advance to the area-wide science fair, an event that normally takes place at Queeny Park with over 200 schools,” she said.
