Principal Kristy Roberts and Assistant Principal Debbie Reid were duct taped to a wall. The stunt was a reward for their students, who collected 1,200 cans of food for Parkway’s food pantry, more than doubling their 500-can goal over a two-week period. Two second-grade classes collected the most cans and won the honor of duct taping their principals to a wall on Friday, Oct. 26. Roberts said, “I am really proud of our students and families for going above and beyond for our district food pantry and helping those in need. It shows what a caring community we have at Hanna Woods!” Roberts noted that this was the first time she was duct taped to a wall and said it was actually fun. It took about 12 rolls of duct tape for the two principals to stay on the wall.

Murphy Girls take flight More than 100 young women from 15 bi-state area high schools learned about future careers in aviation as they participated in the first-ever Girls in Aviation Day at St. Louis Downtown Airport in Cahokia, Illinois. Local schools that participated in Girls in Aviation Day included Parkway North High, Parkway South High, Westminster Christian Academy and Villa Duchesne. The high school students flew planes in high-tech simulators and climbed into the cockpits of various aircraft for an overview of the instrumentation. Saint Louis University’s Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology – in partnership with Women in Aviation International [WAI] – hosted the first of what they hope will become an annual event. In addition to the hands-on activities, the event featured a career expo, where the students had the opportunity to talk with representatives from more than a dozen companies and organizations in the aviation industry about various job opportunities and the paths to take to secure those types of positions.
