Hello Patton Families!

Our Anderson's Book Fair is coming up! Please see the flyer below for information about our book fair. Continue on to read other important items to note:

1. Students will browse the fair with their classes on Tuesday 2/11 or Wednesday 2/12 to create a wishlist to bring home.

2. If parents/guardians allow, students can bring their wishlist and CASH back on Thursday 2/13 in an envelope with their name. Teachers will collect these first thing in the morning, send them to the fair, and volunteers will fulfill these orders.

3. Friday 2/14 is open shopping for families at the book fair during conferences from 9 am - 3 pm.

4. See instructions on the flyer for ordering online at abcfairs.com. Online ordering will begin February 11 and continue on after the fair. Send the link to grandparents, aunts, uncles, and families to help earn for our school!

Finally, help us spread some love to our teachers during our Valentine's Day week fair! Teachers will have a wishlist bin at the book fair. If you are able, please purchase a book from their bin and leave them a wonderful note. We will deliver these books to them with a little treat after the fair ends.

Any questions? Please email Maddie Schultz at mhonn11@gmail.com or Liz Ballinger at liz.jacobsen1@gmail.com

Thank you for supporting our students and school at the Book Fair!

Now that the colder weather has settled in, we know that many of our walkers and bikers will be joining the car line so we just wanted to send a little refresher!

• Please be mindful when you park and do not block any of the surrounding neighbors' driveways.

• Please pay attention to the “No Parking” signs that are posted on the streets around Patton.

• Please do not block any intersections while waiting to enter the carline.

• Please note - there is no parking in front of the school on Patton Ave. Please do not wait there to enter the pickup line at the end of the day - you will be asked to move.

• For morning drop off, please make sure your children are ready to exit the car when you pull up. All hats, coats, gloves and snow bags should be on and at the ready so your child/ren can quickly exit the car.

• Be mindful that once the car line is full overflow does park on Maude. Please respect those waiting and get in line.

• There are cones reserving parking spots for our wonderful volunteers. Please do not move them. Once the lot is full please find a parking spot on the surrounding streets and walk up to get your student.

• Please use respect and patience with our traffic volunteers. We are short handed at this time and are trying our best to keep the line moving in the afternoon so everyone can get to where they need to be after school.
