Wishing you all a safe and Happy Holidays!
Team 6-3 was amazed with the success of their Giving Group Fundraiser last week! The Group raised over $1,500.00 by selling treats before school! Students in the Giving Group counted the funds and shopped online to purchase gifts for The Foster Network Christmas wishlists. It feels good to give -Thank you Patrick Henry!
Congrats to our December Students of the Month!
This week 6th graders were asked before school, "What is something on your Christmas list?" We hope all our PH students are on the "nice list" this year! 🎄🎁🎄
'Twas the week before Winter Break! Excitement always fills the air as students anticipate the Holidays. We are looking forward to basketball games, dress-up days and fun in our classrooms as we wrap up learning before the break.

It's a busy week at Patrick Henry filled with basketball, wrestling, orchestra, musical auditions, MAP testing and a fundraiser!
Our "Patrick Henry Cares" fundraiser is dedicated to supporting students in need during the festive season. Each year we assemble raffle baskets with a variety of gift cards and experiences. These baskets are raffled off to teachers to help raise funds that go to items our PHMS students may need. This year we are opening up two raffle baskets for parents/guardians to participate in the fundraising event. Winners will be contacted on Wednesday, December 18th.
