Live, Laugh, Learn, Leave a Legacy
Dear Patterson Families,
Character education is an essential component of Patterson’s mission to teach the whole child. Each month we celebrate a different character trait as outlined by "The Be Kind People Project" by sharing ways to practice each trait with friends and family. Teachers and staff celebrate along with the students by recognizing students for their positive behaviors with our “Be Kind” tickets.
This month we are celebrating the Be Kind Focus – Be A Friend. We are so proud of our students’ commitment to kindness and friendship. We always look forward to seeing students showing each other positive traits around campus, in the hallways, and on the playground. Our staff looks forward to recognizing students for positive behavior each day.
Our students and staff value character education and the belief that having good character is the root of all success. Ask your child about the Be Kind focus of the month and share with each other ways to demonstrate that trait! It will be fun.
Warmly,
Sarah Stephens
Principal
