Patton PTA Pulse Newsletter

Thank you to all the room parents that planned the 1st and 2nd Grade Family Night: Maddie Schultz, Liz Ballinger, Kristina Chambers, Melissa Finnegan, Amanda Sharpe, Ashley Dalton, Karen Hill, Kristen Miazga, Lindsey DiGrino, Aly Marcanti, Liz Kirkpatrick.

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

Hello Patton Community! Volunteering is one of the best ways to get involved in the Patton community. Your PTA invites you to indicate via this survey the volunteer opportunities you may be interested in during the 2025-26 school year. Please sign up for as MANY opportunities as you are interested in. We know it can be hard to plan ahead at times, so please keep in mind that saying YES to a particular event(s) does not automatically commit you or obligate you to volunteer. It simply provides us a good place to start!

Here is some clarification for some terms you will see as you fill out this form:

• Volunteer: A volunteer is a person interested in helping the day of the event. This could be, but is not limited to, setting up, manning a station, take down/clean up, etc.
• Committee Member: A committee member is a person interested in helping the
• Committee Chair(s) to plan, organize and (if available) volunteer at the event.

Thank you for your help...we could not put on the wonderful programs, services and activities for our children that we do without our parent community! Thank you for offering your time!

Your Volunteer Coordinator,
Ashley Catalan

Thank you, Panthers! At least 25% of Patton Panther families have joined the ABC/25 Foundation. As a result, Patton will be awarded a $2,500 grant! If you haven’t joined yet, please still consider doing so. In addition to providing school-wide grants, donations also fund individual teacher grants. Previous Patton teacher grants have been used to buy multicultural books for the library and classrooms, replace and expand our library’s books, and purchase ukuleles!

Become a member by October 17th, and your child(ren) will be entered into a drawing to win a ride to school with the Arlington Heights Police Department!
