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. 

Pattonville Early Childhood Center hosted a food drive to support local food pantries. School director Dr. Greg Cicotte challenged the students to collect 300 cans or boxed food items and promised that if they topped that goal, he’d let them hit him in the face with a pie. Needless to say, he underestimated his students who collected over 800 items.  
 
“We did something very kind for our community,” he said to the students who were assembled in the cafeteria for their first school-wide assembly. “We were doing something super awesome and we were collecting food for people who may not have as much as they need.”
 
The goal was set at 300 because it counts all of the students and staff in the school, but they ended up getting almost three times that amount.

“So I’m going to take three pies in the face!”

Classroom teachers used the community service project as an opportunity to reinforce counting, graphic and sorting skills.

Pattonville High School seniors Patrick Ferguson (tenor) and Ethan Massey (tenor) and juniors Diego Halbeck (bass) and Jahlil Johnson (bass) earned a place in the Missouri all-state choir. Senior Joey Stewart (bass) and junior Maggie Haselbauer (alto) earned all-state honorable mention.
 
Earlier this year, students from 34 area schools auditioned for the St. Louis Suburban District Honor Choir. Twenty-three Pattonville High School students were selected with 12 performers placing in the top 20 of their voice part and qualifying for an all-state audition.
