Chorus Concert this Wednesday - Bring a Lawn Chair Rain or Shine
As you know, our Chorus concert is planned to be outside this Wednesday evening. We asked you to bring a lawn chair and have a seat out in the field. The students will be spaced appropriately on the blacktop. Unfortunately, the weather is not predicted to be great on Wednesday night. We hope that changes, but we are prepared if it does not.
In case of rain, we will move into the gym - students will space out in front of the pillars painted on the wall. We will ask you to bring those lawn chairs right inside the school gym and enjoy the show there.
Thank you, we can't wait to see/hear our chorus students all together for this concert. Prairie Dogs are "Better Together"!
You're Invited to The Patterson Open House!
Note the Book Fair will also be open this evening during and after the open house, for your convenience.
