The Patton Post
Friday, February 20th
Are you ready to Pack the Piggy Patton? The Arlington Heights Council of PTA’s (AHC-PTA) funds $15k annually in scholarships for former D25 students, who are graduating seniors in D214. This year, the AHC-PTA will be running it’s 5th “Pack the Piggies” fundraiser across the district to raise money for these scholarships.
The contest at Patton begins Monday, February 23rd and goes through Friday, February 27th, which gives us 5 days to pack our piggy to reach our goal!
Each district school’s goal is to raise $1 per student. Our school's goal is $396!
If we reach our school goal, our students will get to enjoy an amazing prize! To help reach our goal, students can bring in coins, cash, or checks (made out to the AHC-PTA) and pack our piggy!
Let’s have some fun for a great cause starting Monday, February 23rd!
We want to send a huge thank you to so many people for an amazingly successful book fair!
To Mrs. Chin and Mrs. Vignocchi, thank you for your support of the book fair and all of the constant communication to help us execute this for our Patton community.
To Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Dunning, thank you for all of the emails, making copies, greeting Anderson’s drivers to drop off materials, constantly buzzing us in, and more.
To the teachers and staff, thank you for bringing your classes to the fair to create wishlists and for allowing them to come at the end of the week to purchase books. The kids were so excited to peruse, shop, and purchase books. We loved their excitement and smiles!
To all of the parent volunteers who spent time helping those days of the book fair, thank you for helping the kids write wishlists, keep the fair organized, and support all of our efforts.
To our PTA president, Megan Worthington, for your support of this event and the time you spent with us helping the fair run smoothly.
To our Patton community and parents, thank you for shopping to support our school and foster a love of reading in our students.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
