Teacher For A Day 2014

It was another outstanding Teacher for A Day at Patton on May 21! Students purchased raffle tickets to earn the chance to be a Patton teacher for a day! The money raised will all go to benefit the Relay for Life, Cuddle My Kids and the Johnson Project. A big thank you to Patton Gives Back and Mrs. DiGregorio for organizing this fun day! Check out the photos from the day right here!

Patton United Nations!

Mrs. Basilio's Geography classes participated in a mock United Nations Security Council session focused on the crisis in the Ukraine. Students researched the role of the Security Council as well as the crisis in the Ukraine. Students then took on the role of members of the Security Council presenting proposals on how the Security Council should address the crisis. Proposals were then put to a vote in the session and students voted based on their representation of each member country. Check out the photos from the event!

Forensics Speech and Debate

Congratulations to the over 30 students from Patton for their performances in the Chester County Forensics Speech and Debate Tournament, which was held on Saturday with over 125 middle school participants throughout Chester County. All of our speakers did an outstanding job. Some highlights of the day were as follows: In the declamation event, Katelyn Tsai placed 2nd, Shuhan Yin was awarded a 2nd place trophy in the poetry division, and Zahra Husain earned a 2nd place trophy in extemp. Two students came away with first place trophies in their events: Michael Iacocca in extemp and Ethan Pan for his original oratory. Great job, everyone!
