• Congratulations to Patton PTA for winning 2 awards at the Northwest Cook Region Annual Meeting and Award Ceremony. Our PTA won an award for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for our innovative outreach event, Patton Spreads Joy. In addition, Patton PTA won a yellow ribbon award for membership.

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

• We are in need of traffic volunteers for Halloween lunch pick up and drop off! Please sign up here!
• Picking up or dropping off your kiddos? Spend a half an hour helping out our wonderful and fun traffic team one shift or more each week! Can’t commit?! Feel free to sign up to sub. Have questions?
• Fill out the Google Form and Volunteer Now!
  
• As a reminder: Kiddos need to be seated on the right side(curbside) or have access to get in and out curbside if you are utilizing the car line. Our volunteers can not for safety reasons for both the student and volunteer load or unload a student from the left side of the car.
  

• You may see our wonderful traffic team out setting up before 8:50 am. They aren’t quite ready to receive our wonderful students. Please arrive after 8:50 am. Please note there is no supervision until 8:50 am. Please make sure kids aren’t arriving before then as our traffic volunteers can not supervise.

Just a reminder there is no supervision until 8:50am so please do not drop your child off before then. The traffic team is not responsible for supervising your child.

Looking for a way to showcase your child’s talents and artistic expression? Encourage your child to submit entries for this year’s national PTA Reflections program, with the theme: Accepting Imperfection.

Students can submit their completed works of art in one (or more) of the art categories: dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography and visual arts. Please read through these specific PTA reflections rules for each category submission.

All projects must be submitted to Patton’s main office by the end of school day on November 20th. Please fill out this student entry form to accompany each project. Feel free to reach out to Tina Shah (tinashah1@gmail.com) with any questions!

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!
