RSVP - Tuscan Market Patton PTA Holiday Party Tomorrow, Friday December 18th
We’ve upgraded the First Annual Patton PTA Holiday Party by moving it to Tuscan Market in beautiful downtown Arlington Heights. We’ll be getting together at 7 PM for some casual holiday cheer. So come out early for relaxing conversation with adults! Please RSVP using the Evite found here. Nominating Committee is Forming The Patton PTA is currently looking for PTA members who are interested in serving on the Nominating Committee for 2016-17 Executive Committee positions. If you'd like to get involved with the PTA, this is a great place to start. Typically there are only a few meetings required, and you'll get to help mold the future of the Patton PTA! Please email Bob Corley or Joanna Esposito at [email protected] or [email protected] to express your interest in this important committee. Kindergarten Family Night All kindergarten families … save the date for Kindergarten Night!!! Friday, January 8th from 6:30-7:30 in the Patton Gym. Patton Ecology Team Let’s go “green” for the Holidays. Partners for Environmental Progress estimates that Americans send 25% more waste to landfill between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. That’s about 1 million extra tons of waste per week! Learn what ways you can waste less during the holidays by opening the attached “Reduce Waste During the Holidays” flyer here. ABC/25 Membership We did it! Over 25% of Patton families have joined the ABC/25 Foundation and helped us earn the Foundation's $2,500 Membership Incentive Grant! Thank you for your continued support of Patton and the ABC/25 Foundation. ABC/25 membership dues help fund Karen Wessel Barr Teacher Grants across the district having a direct impact on the student learning environment. If you are still interested in joining to lend your support and stay informed of what ABC/25 is doing for our schools, go to abc25.org Thank You PTA Members As we approach the end of 2015, the Patton PTA would like to extend our thanks to all of our members. Whether you’ve simply joined the PTA, volunteered for an event, chaired a committee, or held an executive position, your involvement has made our achievements possible. The PTA brings so many exciting and enjoyable activities to our students because of you. So thank you! We look forward to an even more exciting 2016! The next PTA Meeting will be held January 12th at 9:15 AM in the Commons Questions or Ideas? Do you have a question or a great idea you want to share with PTA? A topic you would like to see on a PTA Meeting Agenda? Please email your ideas to Patton PTA at [email protected]. We are always looking for help for upcoming events and committees and would love to hear from you! Thank you! Patton Family In Need
As many of you may already know, the family of Patton student Lily Moran is going through a difficult time right now. Lily, who is in Mrs. Ricci’s fourth grade class, has been diagnosed with Leukemia. Many families in the Patton community have already been showing their support, and we wanted to share some opportunities to get more families involved. If you would like to help out the Moran family here are a few options: 1. Patton parent Karen Gonzalez has started a meal sign up. If you would like to provide a meal for the family go to: https://my.lotsahelpinghands.com/community/the-moran-family The Moran’s have requested dinner on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays during the week. If someone would like to sign up, you will need to create an account. After you have been approved you will be able to view the calendar and see which days dinner is still needed. Right now, the calendar is set up through March. If you have any questions you can contact Karen Gonzalez at 847.863.3996 or [email protected]. 2. A friend of Lily’s family is collecting books for Lily. She is asking for gently used books that a fourth grade girl would enjoy. If you have any books that you would like to donate you can drop them off at Connie DeBlasio's house at 1329 N. Race Ave. and she will have them delivered. She would like the books by Christmas break. 3. Other Patton families and friends of the Morans have organized separate methods to support the family, which are posted on Facebook at the Patton Elementary School Parents independent page. Our thoughts and well wishes go out to Lily and her family. We thank the people who have set up these opportunities to assist, and hope to help as we communicate this information to our PTA members.
