• Thank you to Renee Klues for planning and our parent volunteers, Lori Jarvis & Lisa Roberts, who helped out with a successful picture day! You made the day go smoothly for all our kids and we so appreciate you helping them to give their biggest smiles!

• Thank you to our hospitality committee, Lindsay Sudol, Chrissy Gandor, and Jamie Knapstein, for planning the “Stock the Teachers’ Lounge”, and ALL the parents who donated and helped drop items off at the lounge. The staff were so appreciative this morning! What a great way to show the Patton teachers and staff how wonderful they are. THANK YOU PATTON PARENTS!

• Thank you to our 4th and 5th grade Room Reps (Jenny Lee, Meghan Eggum, Renee Klues, Amanda Bhansali, Jamie Knapstein, Briana Hafer, Megan Streich, Sam Reynolds, Jacqulyn Levin, Melisa Andrews, Colleen Smithe, Amanda Sharpe, Heather Lockhart, and Kelly Fox) for the planning of an awesome 4th/5th grade family night! It was such a blast, and the kids were all glowing! We couldn’t have done it without you.

LETS GO!

• Picking up or dropping off your kiddos? Spend a half an hour helping out our wonderful and fun traffic team one shift or more each week! Can’t commit?! Feel free to sign up to sub. Have questions?
• Fill out the Google Form and Volunteer Now!
  
• As a reminder: Kiddos need to be seated on the right side(curbside) or have access to get in and out curbside if you are utilizing the car line. Our volunteers can not for safety reasons for both the student and volunteer load or unload a student from the left side of the car.
  

• You may see our wonderful traffic team out setting up before 8:50 am. They aren’t quite ready to receive our wonderful students. Please arrive after 8:50 am. Please note there is no supervision until 8:50 am. Please make sure kids aren’t arriving before then as our traffic volunteers can not supervise.

Thank you for making the first week go smoothly!

Just a reminder there is no supervision until 8:50am so please do not drop your child off before then. The traffic team is not responsible for supervising your child.

Looking for a way to showcase your child’s talents and artistic expression? Encourage your child to submit entries for this year’s national PTA Reflections program, with the theme: Accepting Imperfection.

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. Please read through these specific PTA reflections rules for each category submission.
