The Fall Cheerleaders would like to give a HUGE shout out to the Student Council for funding the new Patton Hawks Breakaway Banner. We are so happy to have this wonderful sign to show our pride and to have debuted it under the lights during Patton Night. It will be a wonderful addition at games and pep rallies for many years to come! Thank you!!!

The Patton Counseling Department was excited to host our annual Heritage Day on Friday. Heritage Day is a wonderful opportunity for us to embrace the different countries and cultures that are represented in our school community. This day-long program is presented to the 6th grade class by 7th and 8th grade students and adults who are willing to volunteer their time. Throughout the day, the 6th grade students rotated through an area of student-created displays, a showcase of cultural garments, music, and dance in our auditorium and My Story presentations where students heard personal stories of immigrating to the United States from another country. Finally, the students came together at the end of the day in the gym for a performance by Chosen Dance Company who  entertained and educated our students about the history of Hip Hop. A big thanks to our Counseling Department - Mrs. Battinieri, Ms. Saletta, Mrs. Malone and Mrs. Hoge - and everyone who made this day possible.

Science Fair projects are due January 15, 2019. Projects will be displayed in the hallway above cafeteria. Projects will be judged and the top 5 winners from each grade will advance to the Chester County Fair in March. Any questions, please contact Mrs. Knauer at mknauer@ucfsd.net

The canned food drive is now underway. We will be collecting food for the Chester County Food Bank until November 26. Boxes were delivered this afternoon to all Advisories. Please help us out by checking expiration dates. This is always a very successful event, and we anticipate the same this year! Thank you for all you do.
