September 4, 2018
Howdy Neighbors,
We hope everyone had a great
Labor Day weekend - we're especially glad the rain held off until the
end of the holiday! With more rain anticipated for this week, we
suggest routinely checking the City's list of street closures before
starting your drive to work, school or home. Stay safe and dry this
week, and remember: Turn Around, Don't Drown.
Thank you to everyone who came out to our
District 10 Community Meeting on August 20th. We were joined by Art
Reinhardt with Transportation and Capital Improvements, Dr. Colleen
Bridger - Director of Metro Health (and District 10 neighbor), and
Everett Fly, who provided us with an update on District 10
African American Historic Resources and a volunteer opportunity that
we will be highlighting later this month.
The Northeast Neighborhood Alliance will host a
candidates' forum on September 17th at the Tool Yard. This will be your chance to
meet with current candidates and gain knowledge before going to the
polls in November.
San
Antonio's National Night Out is right around the corner! If your
Neighborhood or Home Owners Association is planning to host a
National Night Out (NNO) Event, registration has begun. The benefits
of early registration are receiving all the information via e-mail as
it is released. You will not receive an email confirmation when you
register; if you have questions or need information, please contact
Linda Tomasini at linda.tomasini@sanantonio.gov.
Register early to help District 10 show we are committed to combat
crime in our district. If
you would like us to attend your event, please email Raul Ubides at raul.ubides@sanantonio.gov
as soon as possible. Planning is easier if you give
yourself plenty of time to organize a successful event. To register
and for more information, click here.
Despite the rain, SAWS Stage 2 drought
restrictions are still in place. Watering with an irrigation system
is only allowed once a week between 7-11 a.m. or 7-11 p.m. and
is determined by the last digit of your address. The schedule is as
follows: Addresses ending in a 0 or 1 can water on Monday, 2 or 3 on
Tuesday, 4 or 5 on Wednesday, 6 or 7 on Thursday, 8 or 9 on Friday.
Hand watering is allowed at any time. For more information,
click here.
As always, thank you for being active community
members and leaders here in District 10, and do not hesitate to
contact our office if we can be of any assistance to you.
- Clayton

Neighbor Spotlight
District 10 Neighbor and Country Gardens award winner Eva
Templeton, 96, is featured in the Fall 2018 Edition of Country
Gardens magazine for her beautiful, lush backyard garden. A retired
artist and teacher trained in Germany, Ms. Templeton uses Classical
Art techniques, typically incorporated in paintings, to create depth
and detail, transforming her suburban backyard into a whimsical
landscape reminiscent of an Old World estate. We are proud to
spotlight such an accomplishment and national recognition for our
neighbor here in District 10.

Bridge Renaming to Honor
SFC David James Todd, Jr.
On June 14th, City Council voted unanimously to
rename the bridge on Jones Maltsberger between Oakline and Oak Trail
to honor Sergeant First Class David James Todd, Jr.
On August 20th, 2008, U.S. Army Sgt. First
Class David James Todd, Jr. was killed in action in Bala Mueghab,
Afghanistan as he saved the lives of 12 of his fellow men. On August
18th, we remembered his courage and honored him by renaming the Jones
Maltsberger Road Bridge in SFC Todd's honor.
I extend my deepest gratitude to the Todd
Family, the City's Transportation and Capital Improvements
Department, the City's Office of Military Affairs, District 9
Councilman John Courage and his staff, MoMak's Backyard Malts &
Burgers, and Samantha Wickwire for your work in making this
dedication possible.

Back 2 School Prep Rally
 On August 18th,
we partnered with New Creation Christian Fellowship and Commissioner
Tommy Calvert's office to give away over 1,000 backpacks and school
supplies.
Thank you to everyone who donated their time and
resources to make this event possible. We were thrilled to be joined
by representatives from San Antonio Police Dept., San Antonio Fire
Dept., SAWS, CPS, San Antonio 3-1-1, Pre-K 4 SA, and Neighborhood and
Housing Services Department.
We appreciate the San Antonio Police Officers
Association and SAWS for donating backpacks and also want to thank
CPS, 3-1-1, and Pre-K 4 SA for donating supplies and Morgan's
Wonderland for allowing us to host this event in their space.
It was great to see families come in to receive
their free backpacks and supplies and hang around to eat, dance, play
games, and take photos in the photobooth. This event was a success,
and we are extremely grateful for everyone who came out to enjoy the
back to school festivities.

Congratulations to Two District 10 Schools
The buzz has been about the A-F
ratings released last week by Texas Education Agency. The School of
Science and Technology (SST) districts received the top A rating. Two
SST high performing campuses are right here in District: 10 SST Alamo
(IH35 access road near Judson Road) and SST San Antonio (Grades 6-12)
inside Loop 410 between Nacogdoches and Wurzbach.
There are 1200 traditional
public and charter school districts in Texas and of those, 153
received the top rating of A in the new A-F rating system. Of
the districts (charter and tradition districts), only 53
received an A rating in all three domains. Only 7 charter
districts in the entire state received all A ratings in the
three measured domains. Both SST districts made both all A
lists.
