Manatee Families,
Only five weeks left to lace up those sneakers and join the Run/Walk Club!
Calling all Paterson students—this is the after-school shindig everyone's talking about! The club hits the track every Thursday, from 2:45 to 3:30 PM, weather permitting. Kindergarteners, your parents along, while the older students can dash straight to the PE field after the third bell rings. Parents, you're invited too—join the fun and stretch those legs! Plus, there's a nifty mascot program for little siblings, so their steps count toward their future PES glory. Ready to sign up? Grab those registration forms on the activities page under Run/Walk and get moving!

Paterson's fantastic fifth graders collaborated brilliantly together as rescue teams in a team-building STEM activity to save Fred, the gummy worm, after his boat capsized on Doctor's Lake. Using only 4 paper clips as tools, they constructed a way to tuck him safely back into his gummy life preserver so that Fred can float away into the sunset. Float on, Fred! 🪱
