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

Westcreek Bulk Collection Begins
Posted by elainepozos in Events on February 20th, 2010
| March 15, 2010 |
Residential Bulk Collection:
Guidelines
Place bulky items at the curb in front of your house by 6:30 a.m. on the first day of your scheduled collection week.
Separate items into three piles as described below:
- Metal items, including most appliances (doors removed), should be put in one pile. These are taken to our Landfill Diversion Center for recycling.
- Passenger car tires should be put in a separate pile to go to a tire recycling facility. Tires must be removed from the rims and there is a limit of eight per household. We cannot collect truck or tractor tires.
- Non-metal items, such as carpeting and nail-free lumber, should be placed in a single pile. These items go to a landfill.
Because these piles are collected by different trucks, they may be collected at different times throughout the week.
To prevent damage to your property, keep items five feet away from your garbage cart, mailbox, fences or walls, water meter, telephone connection box and parked cars. Do not place any items under low hanging tree limbs or power lines.
Do not put items in bags, boxes or other containers. Bulk collection is for items too large to fit in containers. Bags will be treated as extra garbage and are subject to extra garbage fees.
