The Pattonville community programs department earned two grants worth nearly $3,000 from USA Lacrosse to support lacrosse programming for middle school students.
Pattonville earned a 2021 First Stick Youth Equipment grant worth $1,450 which provided the district with equipment for 10 field players and one goalie. Pattonville also earned a $1,500 grant from the USA Lacrosse National Diversity Grant Program.
“We will be using these grants to build the feeder program at the middle school level,” said JoAnn Greenwell, community programs supervisor. “This will offset some of the cost to make the sport more affordable to all students.”
Please join us in congratulating the following individuals on their new roles. The following administrative changes were discussed at the Dec. 14 Pattonville Board of Education meeting and will become effective July 1.

Students at Pattonville Heights Middle School went to great lengths to figure out how to determine jump distance on other planets. After creating a hypothesis concerning the relationship between jump distance and gravitational force, students in Ms. Terri Sallee’s science class went outside and measured their jump distance three times using meter sticks.
