Brockett Bulletin

This week, families were invited to their children’s schools to meet staff, learn about school activities and more. The high school’s GrizzFest featured a wide range of activities and groups, including teachers ready to meet families, clubs displaying their offerings, Pathways showcasing their coursework, community groups highlighting their services to families and a college/career section to get students thinking about life after high school.

Patton’s PTA arranged to have ice cream and shave ice food trucks at last Tuesday’s Back to School night. The trucks gave a festive flair to the evening with the sweet treats.

Children with disabilities can participate in a number of upcoming activities through McMinnville Parks & Recreation, including soccer, gymnastics, dance and swimming.
