PTA Committee Highlight - Running & Fitness Club The Patton Running and Fitness Club has been a highlight for 4th and 5th grade students at Patton for many years. This club is truly a committee headed by teacher and parent. The club meets weekly in the fall and spring for calisthenics followed by laps outdoors around the school and the block. During colder months, the club moves indoors for other organized activities, such as yoga, step, and guided aerobic exercises. Mrs. Goumas rallies the kids to join, arranges for guest participants, and always participates in the activities. The committee chair(s) send informational emails to parents and collect permission slips. Additional volunteer parents join in to assist in supervision, lap counting, and general guidance for participating students. Currently the PTA is looking for an enthusiastic volunteer parent to shadow Bonnie Alcaro, our current chair, with plans to take over in 2017-18. If that sounds great, or if you’d like to be contacted about volunteering during meetings, please send an email to [email protected]. Patton Elementary School Parents Facebook page Do you have news you’d like to spread to other Patton families? Are you having a garage sale, or do you have questions about the goings-on at school? The Patton Elementary School Parents Facebook page is a great place to post items like this. This is a non-PTA page, and it can be used for things that fall outside of the scope of the Patton PTA. It is a closed group, but if you’re a Patton family just ask and you can be added. Join the conversation, and get your message out directly to the Patton community. 5th Annual Just Move it!
