Welcome, From the PTA
Patton Panthers,
My name is Megan Worthington, and I’m honored to serve as the President of the Patton PTA for the 2025-2026 school year! We are so excited to kick off another year filled with fun events and opportunities to build our vibrant school community.
If you're new to Patton, welcome! I still remember the nerves I had when my oldest daughter started here, wondering what the PTA would be like. Rest assured, the Patton PTA is nothing like the "Bad Moms" movie! We are a friendly, inclusive, and positive group, all working together as volunteers to make this a special place for everyone. We would love for you to get involved! Our Executive Board and Committee Chairs have been hard at work over the summer preparing for this school year and we are so grateful!
Our first PTA meeting of the school year will be on September 17th at 7:30 PM in the Commons. Mrs. Chin will provide updates on school happenings, and we’ll discuss upcoming events. Afterward, we head out for some social time, which is a great way to meet new people and connect with fellow parents.
Here are a few quick tips to get the school year off to a great start:
Join the PTA: If you haven't already, please consider becoming a member through the District Webstore. Membership is affordable, supports our programs, and includes two logins for Directory Spot, our online directory—perfect for connecting with other parents for playdates, birthday parties, and more. Join the PTA here.
Stay Informed: Our weekly newsletters go out every Monday, with important dates and upcoming events listed at the top. Be sure to check them out!
If you have any questions, need more info about our programs, or just want to chat, feel free to reach out to me anytime at PTAPatton@gmail.com.
Let’s make this year the best one yet!
Warmly,
Megan Worthington
President, Patton PTA
