🐾 What an Amazing First Week, Panthers! 🐾✨

And just like that, week one is in the books! 📚🎉

It was an absolutely amazing first week back at Patrick! Our 1st through 5th grade Panthers filled the hallways with bright smiles, high energy, and so much excitement to be back on campus with their friends and teachers. 🏫❤️

We are so incredibly happy to be back together—though we might all be just a little bit sleepy after such a fun, full week! 🥱😴

Rest up, recharge, and enjoy a wonderful, restful weekend. We can’t wait to see everyone back bright and early on Monday morning! 💙🐾

🎒 The Big Day Is Tomorrow, Panthers! 🐾✨

We hope you all had a wonderful, relaxing Labor Day weekend with family and friends! ☀️

The wait is officially over—tomorrow morning, we welcome back our 1st through 5th graders! 📚🎉 (To our new Kindergarteners and families: hang tight! We are so excited to see you next week! 🎒❤️)

🚗 A Quick Driveline Reminder:
If you are dropping off or picking up students in the parent driveline, please stay inside your vehicle at all times and keep an eye out for staff guidance to help keep the line moving safely and smoothly.

Rest up tonight, get those first-day outfits ready, and we will see you first thing in the morning! 🚌💙
