PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE - NOVEMBER 11th
We have had another wonderful week at Patton! We had some beautiful, sunny weather this week but the temperature has definitely taken a dip today so please do remember to send your child/ren in wearing layers and with appropriate clothing for outdoor recess. Our lost and found is already filling up again so if your child is missing jackets or hoodies, please have them check the lost and found. The sunny and warm temperatures this week had a lot of children removing layers while at recess.
Thank you to everyone that wore Red, White and Blue at school today in honor of Veterans Day! It was so wonderful to see so many of our Panthers showing their support for our Veterans.
Pack the Piggy - UPDATE
Thank our Troops
It was so wonderful to see so many Panthers in red, white and blue on Friday in recognition of Veteran's Day. This week our students spent some time writing letters to our troops stationed overseas. With the holidays coming up, those who serve and are deployed abroad always enjoy receiving notes from those at home. You can also do this as a family should you choose. Both Palatine and Wheeling Township locations are collecting cards, notes, drawings and packages throughout the month of November.
Thank You for the Candy Donations!
Thank you very much to those of you that donated candy! We were able to drop off MULTIPLE bags to the Wheeling Township and Palatine food banks and they were very grateful. It always feels good to "give back" and, as always, we appreciate the Patton community's generosity of spirit.
Please Leave Toys at Home
We have seen a rise in the number of toys that have been brought from home - fidgets, Rubiks cubes, rainbow looms etc. We would greatly appreciate it if you could keep these at home from now on - they have started to become a distraction in the classrooms and we cannot be responsible for lost or damaged toys. We greatly appreciate your support.
4th & 5th GRADE HOMEWORK CLUB
Have your 4th or 5th grader stay after school on (most) Tuesdays in room 255!
Mr. Morkert will provide a quiet space where kids can work on assignments, read, or get extra help. If interested, you must sign up using this link (space is limited to 12). Please be sure to include your child's name when you sign them up and note whether you will pick up your child or if they can walk home. CAP kids welcome as well. Please contact Mr. Morkert for any questions (tmorkert@sd25.org).
