SHOUT OUTS To our Awesome Volunteers!
Thank you to Brittney Lazarz and Heather Hendrickson for planning the Progressive Tailgate fundraiser! Thank you to all the parents that attended to support our PTA with your ticket purchases and to our amazing host houses (Jeff and Kari Bittner, Erica and Alex Motin, Justin and Ewa Jandrisits) for opening up your driveways and yards to our community for this event!
Thank you to Chris Fries and Tracy Boyd for planning and executing a fabulous National Walk to School Day! Also, special thanks to Mrs. Chin for helping coordinate with Hersey to recruit athletes for our tunnel! The Hersey Football, Girls Flag Football, and Cross Country teams were so positive and welcoming as they high fived and cheered our kids into school!

PTA Reflections 2025-26: “I Belong”
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.
All projects must be submitted to Patton’s main office by the end of school day on Thursday, November 20th. Student entry forms and more details coming soon!
