On Monday, October 20th, Mrs. Chin, along with PTA President Megan Worthington attended the Northwest Cook Region PTA meeting and Honor Awards ceremony.

Patton PTA was honored with three awards including Bronze Membership Status for IL PTA, Region Membership Award, and most importantly, Community Connector Award. The Community Connector award was in recognition of our Patton Spreads Joy Event, where the Patton community comes together to give back to our community during the holidays.

Congratulations to last year’s PTA President, Jamie Knapstein, our Patton Spreads Joy committee chairs, Elie Simonson, Ashley Dalton and Danielle Witkowski and all of our PTA members for these amazing recognitions. Congratulations!

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!
