 Did you know?
Pattison Elementary partners with several area mer-
chants who donate a portion of your purchases back
to our school. Randalls Food Market and Pharmacy
is one of those partners! To help Pattison receive
the most from your purchases, all you have to do is link your Remarkable
Card to our organization's number, which is 5682.

Here's how it works: The next time you are in Randalls, simply go to the
Courtesy Booth and ask to fill out the "Good Neighbor" program section and the top part of a Remark-
able Card Application (even if you already have a card), indicating our organization's number (5682) and
return it to the Courtesy Booth. That's it! Pattison is now linked to your card. From that point on, the
purchase price of groceries will automatically be recorded to our Good Neighbor account. Randalls keeps
a running total of our account, and a check for 1% of the total is sent directly to Pattison each quarter.

How much easier could fundraising be? As always, we thank each and every parent for every bit they do
to help our school!

Meteorologist
Visits Pattison
Fourth grade had a wonderful
visit from Dr. Jim Siebert on
October 5th. Dr. Siebert is the
chief meteorologist on Fox 26
News. He taught us all about
the weather and what it is like
to be a meteorologist on
TV. His presentation was very
entertaining and we learned a
lot. Thanks Dr. Siebert!

Pictured are Dr. Siebert and his son, Grant, in Mrs. Finney’s class.
