Patton PTA Pulse Newsletter

• A huge thank you to Melisa Andrews and Tony Trester, our Patton Traffic Co-Chairs, for planning an awesome National Walk to School Day! From the Card My Yard sign, the wearing of neon colors, fun music, and ALL the special guests there to welcome students, it was so much fun! What a blast walking to school that day!
  

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

Calling all 4th/5th grade families! Join us on October 10th in the Patton gym for NEON Night from 6:30-7:30. There will be music, glow sticks, glow-in-the-dark limbo, an awesome DIY glow marker mural, and more! We promise this will be a bright night for the whole family.

This is not a drop event, so please make sure all students come with an adult.

Ready to see you all “glow” crazy!

Please sign up to donate treats to Stock the Staff Lounge, donations to be dropped by 7pm on Sun Oct 13. More details in the sign-up genius link.

Registration is now open!

• 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.

Thank you for making the first week go smoothly!

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!
