The Pattonville community is invited to join in as Pattonville celebrates homecoming on Oct. 7 and 8.

This year’s homecoming theme is “Karaoke Night.” Click below to see a list of community activities scheduled to date.
Pattonville Early Childhood teacher Christie Buchek will be competing in the Ironman Maryland race on Saturday. During the event, athletes will swim for 2.4 miles, ride a bicycle for 112 miles, and run a full marathon for 26.2 miles. The race goes in that order and the contestants do not take a break.
“This is a challenge I’ve always wanted to do and I’m ready to take it on,” she said. “I have had amazing support from my family and from my school family asking how the training is going and how I’m doing and I just hope it’s helping others in return get excited about personal fitness and doing what you can do in life.”
Staff on Wednesday all wore red to show support for the Whales classroom teacher.
Each month during the school year, the Pattonville Board of Education honors students, staff and volunteers who have gained recognition outside of the district or who’ve made a special contribution to the educational programs in Pattonville. Learn more about students and staff who were recognized in September.
Pattonville Heights Middle School students in sixth grade English language arts classes were invited to a “book tasting” last week to introduce them to different reading genres.
The teachers — Chelsea Bowles and Emily Weber along with teacher librarian Julie Harder — provided a fun and engaging way for students to explore new books.
The students rotated tables to explore a variety of genres before getting the opportunity to check out a book.
“They were able to choose where they started by filling out a reservation form last week for the genre they most wanted to look at,” Bowles said. “We didn't let them choose the second table because we wanted them to at least look at books that they may not look at normally.”
Senior Ashley Shaw pulled up the drink orders that were placed online this morning and senior Qua’Shaun Lawson removed the “Sorry, We’re Closed” signs from the front of the coffee machines in Room C212. Class was about to start and the students were already getting to work.
The students enrolled in the Community Based Vocational Instruction (CBVI) program at Pattonville High School run a coffee shop for staff members who can place orders online and have it delivered every morning during second hour. Staff can choose the coffee, tea, hot chocolate or soda flavor they want and request any extras like creamer and sweetener. The cost is just $1 per item.
The coffee shop opened in 2017 and Special School District teacher Carrie Cobb said the students are learning important job skills.
