Each month during the school year, the Pattonville Board of Education honors students, staff and volunteers who have gained recognition outside of the district. Students and staff from Bridgeway and Rose Acres elementary schools, Pattonville Heights Middle School and Pattonville High School were recognized in April.
The Pattonville Board of Education held a special recognition on May 10 to honor and thank two parent volunteers who led an effort in support of the district’s $111 million no-tax-rate-increase bond issue on the April 5 election ballot. Parents Andrea Snowden and Jackie Wasser co-chaired the volunteer campaign for Prop S. Pattonville voters approved Prop S by 79.4%, the highest approval rating of any school measure in the state during the April 5 election, according to Dr. Tim Pecoraro, superintendent. Approximately 57.14% was required for the measure to pass.
Pattonville bus drivers Jim Dickerson, Regina Dunmire and Greg Zemblidge placed second as a team at the Missouri Association for Pupil Transportation Regional Safety Competition on May 7 at Affton High School. In the individual division, Zemblidge finished second overall and Dickerson earned third place. Bus driver Brenda Vitale also participated in the event. All four drivers will compete at the state school bus safety competition in Camdenton, Missouri, at the end of June.
