Patterson Families,
Thank you TEAM Patterson for sponsoring our Family Science Night! Patterson families enjoyed all the interactive stations provided by the Flint Children's Museum, Longway Planetarium, and For Mar Nature Preserve. Thank you Mrs. Keech for organizing this amazing opportunity for our Patterson Community!
Many thanks to Mrs. Bertram, third grade teachers and students for entertaining us with an amazing Michigan Musical Performance. We enjoyed your speaking parts, acting,
and singing. All of you looked like you were having a lot of fun!
This afternoon we had our monthly assembly honoring students receiving classroom Kindness awards. In addition, 59 students were recognized with perfect attendance since Trimester 3 began on March 12th and 2 students were awarded with perfect attendance all year. Mrs. Dolloff and Mrs. Borucki's students received a popcorn prize for having 2 days of perfect classroom attendance this week!
Monday, April 30th will be a fresh start for all students to earn perfect attendance for the remainder of Tri 3 and the classroom(s) with the most perfect classroom attendance for the week will continue to earn special prizes.
