The Patton Post

Thank you all who signed up for conferences! Signups are open until Tuesday, October 18th so you still have time to do so.

Thank you to everyone who attended the PTA sponsored Movie Night last Friday night! It was a perfect evening for an outdoor movie and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!

We had another successful Fire Drill on Thursday and, again, our Panthers handled it amazingly and behaved impeccably.

It was so wonderful to see so many people walking to school on National Walk to School day on Thursday - thank you to all those who came out the evening before to "chalk the walk" as well! It's always so wonderful to be greeted with such lovely messages on a morning!

Thanks!
