Patton PTA Fundraiser Schlotzsky’s Night
Posted by elainepozos in Patton Elementary, Uncategorized on March 11th, 2010
On March 30 from 4-10 p.m. Schlotzsky’s on Brodie Lane will hold a Patton Night. This optional fundraiser will allow the Patton PTA to receive 20% of the donated receipts.
When you go to Schlotzsky’s there will be balloons and a sign “Patton Night” with a gold wrapped box. If you “drive-thru” just tell them to put your receipt in the Patton Box. Schlotzky’s will even print a duplicate receipt if you need to keep a copy for yourself.
Again the hours are 4-10PM, but Patton parents have reported going in for lunch and the box was already out on the counter. Mark your calendars now for the April 27 and May 25 Patton Nights. Thank you for your participation!

Patton PTA Fundraiser: Taco Cabana Night
Posted by elainepozos in Events, Patton Elementary on March 10th, 2010

| 5:00 pm | to | 9:00 pm |
Visit Taco Cabana on Wm. Cannon and Mo-Pac on the 2nd Wednesday of the month from 5-9 PM. This is an optional, but easy, fundraiser to raise funds for our schools while feeding the family.
When ordering, tell the cashier you are there to support Patton. 20% of all food and drink sales (including beer and margaritas) go to the Patton PTA! If you want to order to go, please order from inside the restaurant so Patton will benefit and you can say hello to your friends.
Again, this is an optional fundraiser. A good answer to children who beg to attend a fundraiser is to say that “we chose not to spend our money that way.” Thank you again for all you do for Patton.
AISD Plan 3 Approved
Posted by elainepozos in Patton Elementary on March 2nd, 2010
From Patton PTA President, Jennifer Newell:
[On Monday, February 22] the AISD approved plan 3 (vote 7 to 2) on the boundaries issue with the recomendations of grandfathering and that Boone and Sunset Valley maintian their current staffing level at the expense of the board for at least one year.
What that means to Patton is that our current boarders will stay the same (the Monterey Oak Apts will continue to stay at Patton) and we will get some additional students from Oak Hill.

Brush Country Trail Clearing – May 4th, 2009
Posted by Nick Weynand in Brush Country Trail on May 6th, 2009
We had a very successful trail work day last Saturday in Westcreek!
Attached are a few photos of some of our accomplishments and the people who made it happen. OHTA volunteers included Rick, Tom, Cliff, Beki, Ralph, Nancy, David R., David H., and Trudy. Thanks to Westcreek neighbors Chad and Kim Warren for donating the limestone rocks for the stairs that Rick, David, and Beki built.
Please get out and enjoy the trail! Your footsteps will help keep the weeds down.
