New Fence Coverings from PTA!
If you have driven to the school this past week you may have noticed the new fence coverings at Pattison. These were purchased by the PTA and not only add a polished look to our playground and fencing, but also provide more privacy. The PTA is always looking for ways to improve our school and pour back into our students and staff; we are so excited for this new addition!
