SHOUT OUTS To our Awesome Volunteers!
THANK YOU to Ginny Van Cura, Jean Laporte, Samantha Navarro, and Kelly Pricemoore for planning the most amazing Patton Fun Fair!

We are so grateful for all the time and planning you put in to make this event successful and to ensure that all the Patton students and families that attended had a wonderful time! Also, thank you to parents that dropped off sweets for our “Swim for Sweet” game and those that volunteered their time the night of the event!
We would LOVE to shout out your name in our next newsletter! Can’t wait for YOU to get involved!
