Bon appétit! Students in Ms. Margaret Hall’s French 2 classes created a recipe book as a Valentine’s Day gift to the staff at Pattonville High School to say “Merci” and to let them know they are very loved. The recipes include a personal story from every student detailing why they chose their item and instructions on how to make it written in both English and French. It also features a video of the student speaking in French showing how to prepare it.
Pattonville High School seniors Maya Blumenthal and Jordyn Lodes have been named finalists in the National Merit Scholarship Program. In September, they were announced as semifinalists by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.
More than 1.5 million juniors in about 21,000 high schools entered the 2021 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2019 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The nationwide pool of semifinalists, representing less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state.
The Pattonville Board of Education on Feb. 9 approved the selection of Dr. Tori Cain as director of student services, effective July 1. She will replace Teisha Ashford, who will serve as principal of Pattonville High School.
The Pattonville School District received another clean bill of health in its annual audit by an independent auditing firm, Schowalter and Jabouri. In an update on the audit to the school board on Feb. 9, Pattonville Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Ron Orr told the board the district received an unmodified report. An unmodified report is the best a district can receive and means the district is fairly presenting its financial statements and maintaining good internal controls over district finances. The report also indicated there were no difficulties or disagreements noted during the audit, Orr said.
