The Patton Post
Friday, November 7th
CogAT testing took place this week for 3rd and 5th Graders and went very well. Thank you for sending students in prepared and ready to test.
Thank you again to everyone who helped make our halloween festivities go off without a hitch last week! I hope you all enjoyed the costumes and creativity, and appreciated having the weekend to recover.
We are excited to celebrate Veterans Day on Tuesday. We always look forward to the opportunity to honor the Veterans that are part of our Patton community at our assembly.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Every year Mrs Hamilton collects any leftover Halloween candy and donates it to the Wheeling and Palatine food pantries. If you find yourself with lots of leftover candy and the temptation is too much to bear, please consider bringing it into the office.
The food pantries are so grateful for these donations every year.
Calling all Patton Panthers to participate in this year's Reflections program. Students of all grades and abilities can create works of art reflecting upon this year's theme: “I Belong.”
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. Students must individually submit artwork. Here are some ideas for how students can incorporate the theme for each category. Additionally, please carefully read through these specific PTA reflections rules and FAQs before submitting the final artwork.
Projects are due at the Patton Office on November 20th. Students are welcome to submit more than one project. Our Patton PTA proudly participates in the National PTA Reflections program, which encourages students to express themselves through the arts. Projects are completed at home. Last year, we had twenty talented students submit their works of art, and it was truly inspiring.
Please see this link to help think about the theme. Here is the link to the student entry form. You can also watch the videos below that offer insights from some of our very own Panthers who have taken part in the Reflections program before.
We look forward to all the creative entries from your student(s). Thank you again for your ongoing support.
All projects must be submitted to Patton’s main office by the end of school day on Thursday, November 20th.
Some of our Panthers who previously participated in Reflections shared about their experience to encourage other students to participate. We shared brief videos in morning announcements this week. Please view the below videos with your child if they are considering participating, but need more information or encouragement.
