We'd love to see you at PTA Meetings - What would YOU like to see at PTA Meetings? This past Tuesday's PTA Meeting (7:30 PM In the Commons at Patton) was missing a key ingredient - PTA members. We had guest speakers presenting on the Literacy programs at Patton, and we are wondering if either the timing or the content of the meeting was off the mark regarding member interest. Next week we plan to send a short survey asking what programs might pique your interest and get you motivated to join us. PTA can be a valuable part of our members' lives at Patton, and we can use your input to make that happen. Thanks for being part of the PTA - help us offer you something you'd like to see! School Photo Retake Day School photo retake day is Tuesday, November 17th in the morning.
