Patton Walkathon - May 16th
Student Council is very excited about our 11th annual Walkathon as it has become a wonderful tradition within the school and community. Please be sure to mark your calendars for this exciting event!
Some Patton Happenings
Our Patton Twitter feed is one of the best ways to see what is happening at Patton on a daily basis. It truly gives a window into the school and as a parent you can use some of what you are seeing on Twitter to ask your kids about their day. There may not be tweets from every teacher, every day, but throughout the course of the week you can use what you see on Twitter to help start discussions with your kids about school.
