Parent Blast - October 16, 2017
Fall is Here!
Students and staff have fallen into their routines and the weather is starting to change- fall is definitely here! We have had several fun community events recently and I would like to give a shout out to mom Jennifer B and team for their hard work planning and organizing the Panther Dash. We have raised over $22,959 to be used to support our children at Patterson and donations continue to come in daily! I would also like to thank mom Emily M and team for a wonderful pastries with parents event! It was great to see families starting the day together with some big smiles.

Booster Club
Thank you to our Booster Club and donations for the approval of flexible seating for Mrs. Giard's class and the purchase of two ladybug document cameras to replace those that have stopped working. We appreciate the resources and support!
Communication from the Booster Club is sent out using Help Counter. If you are an
approved volunteer and have an account set up with Help Counter, you should have received several emails this year about volunteer opportunities. If you have not received these emails, please check your spam as they may have ended up there. If you have any questions, please send a note topattersonboosterclub@gmail.com and we will investigate.
Thank you to all of you who have been volunteering and helping to make our school great!
