Tickets for the Boys basketball game tonight and Friday night will be sold at the door. Due to Covid restrictions, our gym capacity is 200. Once we have 200 people in the gym, tickets will no longer be sold. You may want to arrive early to guarantee entrance to the game.

Congratulations to the Powerlifting team who competed in the Southern Pallet Invitational hosted by Abbeville High School. The following lifters placed in their weight classes: Justin Dodson 3rd place, Destin Smith 2nd Place and Tyson Leonard 1st place!

Patterson Knights of Columbus donated money to be used in our Special Services department.  Shown are Charles Culotta of the Knights of Columbus, Assistant Principal Tara Fabre, Special Services teacher Misty Ross and students in her class who will directly benefit, Riley Blocker, T.J Beasley, and Jorman James.

Patterson Stazione Exxon made a donation recently. They wrote and received a grant to donate to the school.  Funds are being used for testing, meaning many of our students will be able to earn college credit while still in high school.  We appreciate our community stakeholders. Shown with Principal Lane Larive are member of the Student Council.

Dear high school athletics fans,

We appreciate you supporting our students in their athletic pursuits. Please remember that social distancing of at least 6 feet is required in all high school stadiums and gyms, but people who live in the same house may sit together. Masks must also be worn while in attendance of any function. Social distancing and masks are also required for away games. These are the requirements from the Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) for schools to have fans at their games.  Not complying with these requirements may result in denial of admittance or removal from the event. Thank you for your continued support, patience, and understanding. 

Two important deadlines are quickly approaching for adding or changing your health coverage if you use one of the following options: 

• Medicare:  December 7
• Affordable Care Act (ACA): December 15

Gretchen Abraham from the FTC's Division of Consumer & Business Education has shared the following tips on the Federal Trade Commission's website to help you avoid being scammed:

For Medicare:

• There are no Medicare sales representatives. Anyone who tried to sell you Medicare insurance is a scammer. 
• You do NOT have to join a prescription drug plan to keep your Medicare insurance. Medicare Part D is voluntary and has nothing to do with your regular Medicare coverage.
• Telephone scammers posing as "official agents" may ask for personal information, offer free equipment or services, ask for a quick payment, or threaten you. Just hang up.
• Help with Medicare is available at medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE.

For Affordable Care Act:

• Compare plans and quality ratings at healthcare.gov, where you can also enroll.
• This year, you can also sign up for an ACA plan directly with certain certified partners.  Make sure a company is on the Certified Partner list before giving them your information. 
• After you apply for ACA, you may get a phone call from the Marketplace asking you to verify information or supply additional information. If you are unsure about trusting the caller, ask the representative to mail you a letter with instructions for completing your application.
• Help for ACA is available from the Marketplace Call Center at 1-800-318-2596.  You can also meet with a local assistant in your community who will offer free assistance. Local assistance can be found through the Local Assistance tool.
