March Madness is here! Elementary teams battled it out for the district title on Friday and Monday at the fifth grade intramural basketball tournament hosted at Pattonville Heights Middle School.

Teams from Bridgeway, Drummond, Parkwood, Rose Acres and Willow Brook competed in the inaugural season of the intramural league organized by the Pattonville Community Programs and developed by Drummond PE teacher Caleb Stroop.

“When I first got here, I noticed we didn't have anything at this level so this was kind of my mission from the very beginning,” he said. “Basketball has had such a huge impact on my life and I just wanted to kind of share that with the kids.”

Students had a dress up day and wore black and white clothes and created their own dalmatian headbands and Froot Loop dog tags this morning. Each activity made students practice counting to 101.

The Winter Olympics are held every four years, and every fourth grader at Parkwood Elementary was challenged to build the fastest bobsled using only the materials provided to them during its Fourth Grade Strong activity for February. Poojita Chalamalasetti and Amelia MacLean represented Belize and won the gold medal after a grade-level competition.
 
“We only had seven minutes to plan our design and then worked for 10 minutes putting it together,” Chalamalasetti said. “We came up with an idea to put straws on the bottom of a toilet paper roll and taped it all together and then we put a little character on top to be the driver and named him Bob.”
 
Mr. Robert Sled (or Bob for short) won the knockout tournament challenge.
