Donate

In partnership with families, teachers, and staff, the Patterson Elementary PTA is committed to providing all Patterson Elementary students with the opportunities they need to thrive academically and emotionally.

Unfortunately, insufficient public funding means that Patterson Elementary needs to bring in additional resources to fill the gap.

Here are various ways to donate funds to enable the Patterson Elementary PTA to host multiple programs and activities. All that the Patterson Elementary PTA does benefits all students at Patterson Elementary!
