School Picture Retakes
For those who had pictures retaken, the pictures are ready and were sent home with your child this week. If you have any questions about your order please email [email protected]. Holiday Shop- Friday December 7th Holiday shop will be in the Patton gym from 7:00-8:30 P.M. Kids will be able to purchase items for their family members. Kid friendly prices, from pocket change to $10. Gift wrapping is provided, too. If you are able to help, please sign up here Holiday Shop Volunteer Sign Up New Photography Committee We are looking into forming a new Photography committee and asking for a chairperson to head this committee. The Photography Committee will be responsible for helping coordinate a sharing system (e.g. Google Drive, Google Photos, Shutterfly, etc.) for class photographers to upload photos which will then be able to be permissioned for parents in each class to access. This committee would allow us to streamline party pictures, and it would also take some of the burden off of our current Yearbook Chairs so that they can focus more on the yearbook and less on the administrative side of coordinating the collection of pictures. Stress Free Fundraiser Success Thank you to all of the families that have already donated! With your help we have raised $3,800 and that number continues to grow daily! This fall we are asking for a donation of approximately $25 per family. If you wish to contribute please print this flyer and return it to the school office. What does the Patton PTA do with my donation? The Patton PTA pays for fun events such as Birthday Books, Spirit Day, Holiday Gift Shop, Back to School Bash, Pumpkin Patch, Bingo Night, Olympic pool night and the Ice Cream Social. The PTA also subsidizes many other special events and programs throughout the year such as author visits, incoming kindergarten play dates, teacher appreciation week and teacher dinners during conferences, Running Club, Mini Courses, Traffic and Safety, Directory Spot, Fifth Grade Recognition Books and Reflections. All of these events and programs are made possible by donations, membership dues and fundraising efforts. Every little bit helps to ensure these programs continue for our kids. Thank you so much!
