As we move forward into another exciting chapter of the school year, we want to take a moment to reflect on some of the wonderful events and achievements that have brought our school community together. Whether through music, mystery, or meaningful connections, our students, staff, and families continue to create memorable experiences that make Patch Middle School such a special place.
We are delighted to share that our recent Mystery Night Dinner was an unforgettable success! Students, parents, and staff came together for an evening filled with intrigue, laughter, and community spirit. Our talented students did a fantastic job bringing the mystery to life, and we are so grateful to our dedicated teachers and volunteers who made the event possible. Your support and enthusiasm truly made the night one to remember.
In addition to the Mystery Night Dinner, our Patch Middle School Choir and Band showcased their incredible talents in their recent concerts. Our choir's beautiful harmonies and the band’s energetic performances filled the room with music and joy, reminding us of the importance of the arts in education. We are incredibly proud of our young musicians and grateful to our choir and band directors for their hard work, as well as to the parents who continue to support these programs.
Finally, we want to celebrate our exceptional teachers who received positive comments from parents in our community. Their hard work, commitment, and care for our students have not gone unnoticed. It is always heartwarming to hear about the positive impact they make in the lives of our students. We are so proud of our amazing educators!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Gamble and Mrs. Small

Challenge #3 ~ School Links Task ~ May 12 - 22
This Quarter, our PBIS focus is on "Work Hard," representing the W in our school-wide theme PAWS — Problem Solve, Always Care, Work Hard, Show Respect. At our school, working hard means giving your best effort, staying focused, and pushing through challenges with determination. Whether it's participating in class, completing assignments on time, or helping others succeed, showing a strong work ethic helps build a positive learning environment for everyone. Let's celebrate the power of perseverance and encourage one another to stay committed, take pride in our efforts, and strive for excellence every day!
We'll work to meet the "Complete School Links Task" challenge from May 12 -22. Â All students who have no missings during this time will get to celebrate with a Pizza on the Porch treat by our PTSA! Â Thank you to all the parent volunteers who collaborate with us to encourage our students to be their best!
At Patch Middle School, we believe in recognizing students who go above and beyond to create a positive and supportive environment.Â
Patch Middle School recently hosted an unforgettable Mystery Dinner event, brought to life by our talented Video Productions Club. Students in the club took charge of the entire production, from writing the mystery script to performing as the evening’s captivating cast. Families and guests were immersed in a thrilling whodunit experience, complete with plot twists, suspenseful moments, and incredible performances by our student actors. The creative storytelling and dedicated teamwork of the Video Productions Club, under the guidance of their sponsor Matthew Fischer, transformed an ordinary evening into a memorable adventure. Mr. Fischer was excited to share the success of his students and celebrate their hard work.  A heartfelt thank you goes out to the Patch MS PTSA for organizing the event! Â
This month at Patch Middle School, we're spotlighting the importance of healthy digital habits with the video Hack the Habits! In this fun and relatable video, students discover how everyday choices—like locking their screen and using devices for the intended purpose—can dramatically improve focus, reduce distractions, and support academic success. In class, students will revisit how small shifts in digital behavior can lead to big wins in productivity.  As we explore these strategies, we're encouraging students to take charge of their digital lives and build habits that will serve them both in and out of school.
