The Great Kindness Challenge! Friday afternoon Patton students participated in acts of kindness that extend beyond the walls of the school. Students made scarves, dog toys, placements for the homeless, wrote letters to Veterans to name a few of the activities. This wrapped up the "Great Kindness Challenge" week, but we will still continue with our weekly kindness challenge in our "One of a Kind" year! Thank you to the students and staff for all of their hard work, dedication, and compassionate hearts for others. If you'd like to see some of the pictures from the afternoon, please follow this link.

A Note from the Nurse Mrs. Klancnik would like to remind all parents and students that they should not come to school if nauseous, or within 24 hours of having a temperature, vomiting, diarrhea, or fever. Even if children want to come to school or seem well enough, it is important to be past the contagious stage of an illness before returning to class. Thank you so much for your understanding and cooperation. Pro-Kids Family Night - Friday, January 19, 2018 at 6:30pm As seen at Six Flags, the Country Music Association, and twice at The White House!
