THANK YOU to Danielle Witkowski for being the secretary on the PTA executive team. We appreciate you and the detailed notes you take at all of our meetings!

THANK YOU to all the parents who donated inflatable costumes for the epic surprise we have coming for students. All costumes have been purchased and we appreciate your generosity!

We would LOVE to shout out your name in our next newsletter! Can’t wait for YOU to get involved!

On Tuesday, March 18th, Color Portraits will be back at Patton to take class photos. Students will also have the opportunity to represent Patton’s various clubs and groups. If your child is a part of any clubs or groups, they will get to have an additional group picture taken for the yearbook. All 5th graders should plan to wear their 5th grade class shirts to school for the 5th grade class photo. Check out the order form for more information.

Let’s run for fun!

Join the ABC/25 Foundation for the ABC/25 Fore Education Fundraiser at Topgolf Schaumburg on April 6th from 1-4pm! This is a family-friendly afternoon of golfing.

Buy a bay for up to 6 golfers for $400 or get a spectator ticket for $30 if golf isn't your thing but you still want to have a great time with us! Scan the QR code on the flyer to purchase your bay today or go to our site to register.

Your Bay ticket includes 3 hours of golf, appetizers, non-alcoholic drinks (cash bar available), access to our raffle and silent auction items, a DJ, and freebies from local businesses! Spectator tickets include all the same perks minus the golf.

Can't make it but still want to support us? There is a donation option on the ticketing page just for you! Reach out to abc25president@gmail.com with any questions or if you would like to inquire about options for single golfers.

The success of this event will directly impact the Foundation's ability to fund next year's Teacher Grant program. In 2024, ABC25 funded nearly $30,000 in teacher grants for D25, so please help support this event!

Mark your calendars to attend our last PTA meeting of this school year on May 14th at 7:30 PM in the Patton Commons.

All parents are invited and encouraged to attend - we'd love to see you there! Even if you've never attended before, please consider attending! Your participation and presence makes a difference! Come see all that we do and learn more about where our budget goes, upcoming activities, hear from Mrs. Chin, and more. We promise we won’t make you volunteer for anything unless you want to! After the meeting, join us for a meetup somewhere fun to be social and meet some new people. Hope to see many of your faces there!
