On April 8, students and staff in Pattonville waited outside with anticipation of the coming solar eclipse. Around 2 p.m., they experienced 98% totality, with the moon nearly blocking out the sun creating a dusk-like environment. Leading up to the big event, students watched a video on eye safety for viewing the eclipse, participated in a variety of eclipse-related lessons and then witnessed it in person.
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 Pattonville. Learn more about students and staff who were recognized this month.
