Movie Day December 21st! Remember that Wednesday, December 21 is Patton Family Day at the Movies! The Paragon Movie Theatre in downtown Arlington Heights (formerly Star Cinema) has reserved an auditorium just for Patton families on opening day of the animated feature "Sing." The show starts at 10am. No paper tickets were issued. Families who pre-ordered tickets are on the guest list. Please check in by 9:55 am to gain entry to the theatre. Additionally, Paragon is giving the Patton PTA 20% of the proceeds from the concession stand (mmm… popcorn!) Reminder that children must be accompanied by an adult. No unaccompanied children will be admitted to the theatre. See you at the show! Nominating Committee is Forming The Patton PTA is currently looking for PTA members who are interested in serving on the Nominating Committee for 2017-18 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 Joanna Esposito at [email protected] to express your interest in this important committee. Thank you! Holiday Shop was a great success this year! While our primary goal with Holiday Shop is to provide our students the opportunity to purchase reasonably priced gifts for their loved ones in a safe environment, we also fundraise through the bake sale and craft fair. So, to every person who baked, crafted, cashiered, wrapped, elfed, setup or cleaned up, we send a huge thank you!
