From left, Board Secretary Tom Jackson, Aragon Middle School READ 180 teacher Andrea Barnes, Board President Bob Covey and Superintendent Dr. Mark Henry celebrate Aragon students’ success during the READ 180 Celebration in the school library. Following the celebration, Dr. Henry joined students for a game of pick-up basketball in the gym.

READING CELEBRATION GIVES STUDENTS UNIQUE EXPERIENCE WITH SUPERINTENDENT Students in Andrea Barnes’ READ 180 class at Aragon Middle School had a special surprise as part of their READ 180 Celebration. Following an awards ceremony, in which they earned honors both from their peers and the nextgeneration software from Scholastic, students had the opportunity to play in a pick-up basketball game with Dr. Mark Henry, superintendent of schools. Dr. Henry and several of the students in Barnes’ class discovered a mutual interest in basketball when he visited the school’s READ 180 open house earlier in the school year. As part of their reward for their achievements in the accelerated reading comprehension program, he spent about 30 minutes with them on the court in the school gymnasium.

“I enjoyed playing with them. They’re a bunch of great kids and Ms. Barnes does such a super job with the program here,” he said. “I hope the message they get is that academics is number one and then athletics is something they can add to it that makes life even more enjoyable while they learn teamwork, cooperation and good sportsmanship. Plus, I don’t have to go jogging tonight to get my exercise.” During the READ 180 Celebration, students won a number of awards that were calculated from Scholastic’s software program, including Largest Lexile Gain, Highest Lexile, Over 1 Million Words Read by May 23rd and Most Books Read. Several students also read poetry out loud to the visiting guests, which included Dr. Henry and CFISD Board of Trustees members, Bob Covey and Tom Jackson. Jackson donned a uniform from the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution to commemorate a series of history books he donated to Barnes’ class.

Bella Donna: I look pretty sad, don’t I? Well, I have to tell you, I have had a hard 6 months. I was lost and had been lost for quite awhile. I was really hungry, tired and lonely. I am still very young, only about a year and a half, at least that is what they tell me. I was told there is someone out there that wants to love and care for me the rest of my life. Could that person be YOU? I am ready to love and care for you for the rest of my life. Are you athletic? Well, so am I. Please take me on long walks or even better let’s go for run.

Croc is a gorgeous brown tabby. He enjoys running around the house chasing his brothers and sisters. Croc gets along with dogs, cats and kids. Can you please help him find his family?

I would like to stress that this year, Cypress Falls High School’s Students Protecting America’s Animals Houston (SPAA Houston) has done a wonderful job of helping out at local animal-helping organizations, spreading the word about animal cruelty and fundraising money for the animal causes! For Fundraisers this year, we decided to do two. Bali Fundraiser: Raised $120 dollars to have the dogs in Bali to be vaccinated for rabies. Pier Fundraiser: Raised $1,108 dollars to help fund for a dog named Pier to have surgery for his burns and other local causes! I’m really proud of SPAA Houston members and all of what they did this year!! Keep up the good work and see you guys next year!

DCON 2013: CYPRESS FALLS IS NEVER AFRAID TO SERVE The Cypress Falls Key Club recently attended the 2013 “Don’t Be Afraid to Serve” District Convention (DCON) in Dallas, Texas. Held at the Sheraton Hotel, DCON is a gathering of over 1,100 high school volunteers as well as 200 chaperones. “As soon as you arrive at the opulent Sheraton Hotel,” immediate past treasurer and current vice president Blake Jones said, “you are enveloped in a sense of unity and passion. Everyone there is just like you. Not in the sense that we all look or dress the same, but that everyone there wants to change the world and DCON is the place to get it done.” The participants spent the four-day event contributing to fun service activities, attending character-building workshops, competing in exciting contests and electing their leaders for the upcoming year. “DCON was such a life-changing experience this year,” immediate past president and current Lieutenant Governor Gabi Bradshaw said, “I learned so much about how to become a leader in my community and how to inspire members to serve. I also developed many new friendships with Key Clubbers from around Texas and Oklahoma.” Out of over 470 clubs in the Texas-Oklahoma district, nine of which are from CFISD, Cypress Falls was celebrated in the Top 25 Clubs as the fourth best Key Club. In addition, the individual members won numerous awards. Maryam Arjomandi was awarded for her service with a $1,000 scholarship, which will go toward the cost of her books and fees at the University of Texas next year. Mohammed Syed won first place for the Club Video while Sachit Saksena won first place for the District Project. Tashrima Hossain also took home first place for the Club Newsletter and third place in the Oratory contest. During the Texas vs. Oklahoma Quiz Bowl, Jones and Hannah Norem were two of the five students to represent Texas. After an intense match, Jones, Norem, Martin High School’s Osman Moneer, Bellaire High School’s Jenny Li and Lamar High School’s Gregory Ross were able to snag the Quiz Bowl title back from Oklahoma. Cypress Falls also earned three additional patches to add to their distinguished Key Club banner. The club won patches for participating in the Eliminate Project, an organization designed to eliminate maternal/neonatal tetanus, as well as the Governor’s B.R.O. Project, which concentrated on working with the Children’s Miracle Network. Moreover, Louis Kirkley won a patch for his Distinguished website (http://www.cyfallskey.me).

“I am so proud to work with such an amazing group,” club sponsor Kathie Kiklas said, “They always go beyond what is asked of them. DCON is wonderful training to enhance leadership skills.” Several Cypress Falls students were elected to divisional and district-level leadership positions for the upcoming school year. Bradshaw was elected as the Division 3N Lieutenant governor and she will serve as the head of Key Clubs throughout Cy-Fair and Katy. Roshni Chandwani not only coordinated the four-day weekend as the immediate past Convention Liaison, but she was also endorsed to run for International Trustee during the summer International Convention at Washington D.C. Hossain was elected as the District Editor and she will serve the District by creating bimonthly magazines and overseeing clubs’ publications during the 2013 - 2014 year. “District Convention was exquisite,” current president Amy Jiang said, “Perhaps ecstatic would be the word to show the feelings of our Key Club as we won numerous awards. Committed was our attitude as we grew stronger and better as a group. Inspiration sparked within us at the forums as we learned more about this international, monumental organization. Leaders, is what we came back from District Convention as.”

MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDANT The House and Senate successfully negotiated a two-year budget that will restore approximately $4 billion of the $5.4 billion in cuts to public education that were made by the 82nd Legislature in 2011. While the budget still needs to be approved by the full House and Senate and signed by the governor, this key negotiation between five members from each side is expected to be the basis for the new funding system through 2015. This is a huge step in the right direction for Texas public schools and Cypress-Fairbanks ISD and I commend the members of the 83rd Legislature - specifically those within the CFISD delegation - who worked diligently to make this education budget replenishment happen. I would especially like to thank Sens. Dan Patrick, John Whitmire, Joan Huffman and Glenn Hegar and Reps. Patricia Harless, Allen Fletcher, Bill Callegari, Gary Elkins, Dwayne Bohac, Sylvester Turner and Jessica Farrar for using the power of their votes to keep our students’ best interests in mind. We have been fortunate in CFISD to maintain academic excellence amid financial constraints, but the additional infusion of money will be paramount as we seek to provide students with the best possible educational experience. Thank you for any feedback you gave to our local legislators that stressed the need for a properly funded education system in Texas. Although we didn’t recoup all of the money cut during the last biennium, we will be in much better shape moving forward. Sincerely, Mark Henry, Ed.D

“I’m In PAIN” Can Chiropractic Help ME ? We are often asked, “What’s the best way of finding out whether or not a doctor of chiropractic can help my problem?” We believe the answer can be found in a complete chiropractic consultation and examination, including x-rays. And to help find out for sure, we will do a complete consultation and examination, including x-rays, if necessary, (procedures that normally cost $187.00 or more) for $25.00. We will make this special program available through July. The only exception to the offer involves personal injury cases (workers’ compensation and auto accidents) in which there is no charge directly to the patient.

Brownie troop 16451 finished up the year with a pool party and a special “Brownie Vest “cake. Daisy troop 16109 had a great time at Build a Bear. Some of the bears they brought back wore what looked like Daisy Girl Scout uniforms. Junior troop 16257 delivered their cookie share to Ronald McDonald house, where they made friends with a young resident who is waiting for a double lung transplant. This troop also wound up their Scouting year with a trip to a dude ranch in Bandera, TX. “Carousel” events at Council camps during the year are an opportunity to experience a variety of activities on a “themed” day or weekend. Troop 16149 attended the Princess Academy carousel event at Camp Robin wood and went canoeing. Brownie troop 16398 bridged and “flew up” to Junior Girl Scouts. They made commemorative plates at Color Me Mine and used their painted finger prints to make different animals. Troop 16164 attended the Skeeters Girl Scout Sleepover baseball game at Constellation Field. The girls participated in special activates before the game. After the game they pitched their tents on the field for a movie and a sleepover. It was quite a night out! As you can see, Girl Scouts are active and they have fun!

If you have ever thought of being a Girl Scout leader, summer is a great time to get started. Lots of training is available, but you only need a little (and a background check) to get started. We can’t have Girl Scout troops without leaders and our leaders come in all ages (over 18), kinds and interests. Some of us don’t even have children! If you have a skill and or an interest and or a desire to help, we’d love to talk to you. Please contact Dianne Massie at 281-550-9148 (Dianne.massie@att.net) for more information.

GIDEON: YOUR WEAKNESS, GOD’S STRENGTH Do you feel overwhelmed? Intimidated? Insufficient? Inexperienced? Too old? Too young? Too invisible? or Too afraid? If you’ve ever struggled with insecurity or had trouble accepting your limitations, this study will help you see how God can use your weakness to unlock his strength in you. Join us as we discover God’s sufficiency in our lives. Join us every Tuesday morning at 9:30 AM for this 7-week video study by Pricilla Shirer. Sessions will begin Tuesday, Sept. 3 - Oct. 15, 2013 at Christ Covenant Church, 17000 Longenbaugh, Houston, TX 77095. Registration begins Aug 6th - 27th. Call the Church office at 281-463-6600 to order the workbook ($13) and to reserve childcare. To register on line go to www.christcov.net. LADIES BIBLE STUDY ON JONAH Jonah: Navigating a Life Interrupted video study by Priscilla Shirer Interruptions. They’re aggravating. Sometimes infuriating. They make us want to tell people what we think of them. But how we handle interruptions actually tell us more about ourselves. The prophet Jonah’s existence was interrupted by a call of God that would require a complete change of life. When Jonah was willing to allow God to interrupt his life, the result was revival in an entire city. What do we do when God interrupts our lives? Many times, like Jonah, we run! In this 7-session video Bible study, Priscilla redefines interruption and shows that interruption is actually God’s invitation to do something beyond our wildest dreams. Come join us every Tuesday morning at 9:30 AM beginning Oct. 22, 2013 at Christ Covenant Church, 17000 Longenbaugh, Houston, TX 77095. Registration begins Sept. 24 Oct 15, 2013.

MILDRED’S UMBRELLA THEATRE COMPANY ANNOUNCES ITS 2013-2014 SEASON!

FOXFINDER by Dawn King. US Amateur Premier - August 15-31, 2013. Finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn award. William Bloor, a “foxfinder,” arrives at Sam and Judith Covey’s farm to investigate a suspected contamination. He is driven by his education and beliefs to unearth and destroy an animal that threatens man’s civilization and to remain free from its influence himself. As his investigations proceed, the events that follow change the course of all their lives - forever. Dawn King’s play won the 2011 Papatango New Writing Competition (in partnership with London’s Finborough Theatre). A darkly comic exploration of belief, desire and responsibility, set in a world both strange and familiar, from a striking new voice in British theatre. CARNIVAL ROUND THE CENTRAL FIGURE by Diana Amsterdam. Regional Premier - November 7-23, 2013. A wild ride through theatrical terrain that sears the senses and impacts the audience at a visceral place, which also manages to be hilariously funny and heartbreakingly real in the five core scenes of a young woman’s visit to the death bed of her friend. Her moment of acknowledgment and comfort comes hard in the face of denial, moralizing, insane positive thinking, desperate chit chat and the existential fears we all harbor about the end moments of life - the great mystery.

HOSTING A FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT IS EASIER THAN YOU MAY THINK

During the 2013-2014 school year, students from all across the world will have the opportunity to travel to Houston and surrounding communities to spend the entire school year in the United States, learning and working with American Families. In order for the students to come to the U.S. they must have proper host families lined up. Now is a crucial time of year for the Ayusa program as local staff coordinators to find local host families for the upcoming school year. The Ayusa program is celebrating its 30th year this year and is responsible for more than 60,000 students from 75 different countries spending the school year in the United States. There are not many strict requirements that need to be met to host a student. The most important thing is that those who host students are doing so for the right reason; providing a loving experience and an exposure to American culture. There are a few basic requirements, of course. Anyone older than 25 and can provide food and shelter for a student fulfills the requirements of being a host family. There is a background check, reference check and an interview. Background checks have to be done on everyone over 18 living in the home. The host families have to be interested in it for the right reasons, the cultural exchange of learning from them and them learning from us. It’s the language, the cooking, the music, the food. The host family has to be genuinely interested. Once the host families and students are matched, Ayusa stays involved by monthly contacts with the families, students and quarterly contacts with the schools. Ayusa coordinators also handle the host family orientations and the student orientations. Group activities, such as community service and seeing things with the group of exchange students is also arrange throughout their academic year.

Stone Gate

With the current school year quickly coming to an end Ayusa’s local staff is busy looking for families for students for the 2013-2014 school year. Many families are needed and with the schools having deadlines and limits for foreign exchange students the earlier the better. It also gives the families and students time to get to know each other via skype, facebook, etc. while waiting for their year abroad to start. Please contact Heather Wells by email ayusakaty@gmail.com or by phone 281-770-3414.

EXCHANGE STUDENTS - FROM AMERICAN COUNCILS

The U.S. Department of State sponsors exchange programs that bring high school students from over 50 countries from all over the world in the United State for an academic year to live with an American host family, attend high school and learn about American society. American Councils is always looking for interested and excited host families to host one of their students. For more information, visit http://inbound.americancouncils.org or email inbound@americancouncils.org. You can also contact Assia Baburi by email: assia.baburi@hccs.edu or by phone at 713-856-5020.

After a supporter asked a soldier what they needed, his response was as follows: “No requests, just don’t want to be forgotten.” -LCPL O.J.T. III

July 2013

When registering for Adopt A US Soldier your involvement can range from writing letters and sending postcards, to mailing care packages full of items a soldier may need or want. Handwritten letters are most important and meaningful to soldiers. Adopt A US Soldier encourages civilians to adopt a soldier to show your support for those that are making sacrifices for our country. If interested, please go to www.adoptaussoldier.org to register.

LOCAL MENTORS NEEDED TO MENTOR ONE CHILD & CHANGE TWO LIVES!

CROSSROADS is a nonprofit United Way agency that provides mentors for at risk youth between the ages of 10 and 17. Visit our website at www. crossroads-volunteers.org and consider running an ad like the one below in your Copperfield subdivision newsletter. Many young people don’t have strong positive adult influences in their lives to help guide them through these crucial years. Mentoring makes a difference in both the life of the youth and our community. A commitment of 1 hour weekly is all we ask. Help us shape the leaders of tomorrow by contacting Jan, CROSSROADS Volunteer Recruiter at Jan.gibbs@hcjpd.hctx.net or 713-295-2779. Mentor one child… change two lives.

MISSION CY-FAIR
