Dear Patterson Families,
Today marks the end of Tri 2. Report Cards will be posted in Skyward after 4pm on Monday, March 25th. Your child's classroom teacher will also provide a paper copy during your scheduled conference on March 26th or 28th.
Great news! The district is continuing the Kids Read Now Summer Reading Program for our Y5 thru 3rd Graders. Your child's teacher will also provide this information at your conference in order for you to receive your 9 FREE books throughout the summer months! Our District will provide books to 4th and 5th graders for check out again this year. More to follow regarding both programs as we head into May.

Last Friday, March 8th, Aaron Gilford along with a student from Holly Elementary were picked up from school by a Holly police officer and taken to lunch at a local restaurant of their choice in a police cruiser.
Congratulations Aaron! His artwork is featured below.
Patterson Community Garden
We are pleased and excited to announce that our 2019 garden has been started in small greenhouses that are located in our lobby. The garden team received a grant from the Holly Education Association to purchase the necessary supplies.
On Thursday, March 7, we began the 2019 garden season by planting seeds. Each student also planted a seed to take home.
Please stop by our lobby at parent teacher conferences and take a peek at our seedlings, our growth chart on the bulletin board, and see our plan for expansion! “Come Grow With Us!”
Happy 100th Day of School!
