Willow Brook kindergarten teacher Anise Glenn (seen on the left in the image) will welcome her new class of kindergarten students on Aug. 21, and they might want to think twice about throwing away that hall pass that has her signature on it. It’s technically an autograph. Glenn got into the back-to-school groove earlier this summer by being a part of a video with Microsoft Education that can be seen on streaming and online services.

Students from Pattonville’s elementary schools and Remington Traditional School participated in the annual Districtwide Elementary Mark Twain Book Battle today at the Learning Center. The Rose Acres Winterborne Warriors team won the event. The Willow Books from Willow Brook Elementary and the Millionaires for the Battle from Bridgeway Elementary School finished second and third place, respectively.

The Book Battle is a trivia-type competition hosted by Pattonville's school library technology specialists. During the event, teams of students compete on their knowledge of a predesignated list of books. Students must answer questions with the book title and author to earn full points.
