The Unionville Community Bike Drive Committee would like to thank everyone who donated bicycles, time, energy and support to this year’s collection and repair efforts. Through your efforts the drive was able to provide 135 bicycles to those in need. Special thanks to Garrison’s Cyclery, Trek Wilmington, Two Men and a Truck, the Cleaver and Vosburgh families as well as all of the volunteers who braved the cold and rainy weather to get the job done.

The Charles F. Patton Middle School PTO is a proactive organization providing educational enrichment to the students of C.F. Patton Middle School.

The March ‘talent show’ is approaching. Here’s a quick update:
Ashley Bundis and Rob Penn volunteered to plan the event, which they’ve dubbed “Patton’s Got Talent!” Ashley & Rob have had great conversations with a few PTO members, teachers and school administrators. Some communications will be sent soon to rally participation from kids, parents and teachers. They’d be happy to discuss the plan in a future PTO meeting. Ideas and participation welcome!
Separately but related, Ashley & Rob have been inspired to start an ‘arts organization’ to serve Patton students – a complement to academic demands and sports calendars. It’s just in the ideation phase, but they’ve had positive feedback thus far and would love to share the concept in a future PTO session.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
Our Best Buddies program here at Patton is asking for some PTO assistance. Best Buddies is an opportunity for students to make new friends and create an inclusive school environment among students with and without disabilities.
They are looking to have a special "Best Buddies Lunch" once a month and need some setup for the lunch. No funding or food is required, just some people to help them out with setup and cleanup since the teachers are teaching prior to the lunch period.
If you could put the word out for some volunteers, the contact is Kim Jordan - kjordan@ucfsd.net.
