HOUSTON GULF COAST CHAPTER OF MDA RECEIVES $224,363 FROM KROGER AFTER SUCCESSFUL SHAMROCK CAMPAIGN

The Southwest Division of Kroger will present the Houston Gulf Coast Chapter of the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) with a check for $224,363 resulting from their annual Shamrock campaign. The check presentation took place at the Kroger at 1440 Studemont Street on May 7th. On hand to accept the check was Karla Hoskin, Executive Director at MDA, “We were overwhelmed by the support and effort of Kroger management and employees on this year’s campaign.” Representing Kroger was Joy Partain, Public Affairs Manager, “Kroger’s customers are faithful supporters of MDA year after year and we’re grateful to them and also to our associates. Over the last decade, our customers have donated over $1 million during our annual MDA shamrock campaigns.” The money raised will help fund services and research programs, including MDA’s outpatient clinics at Texas Children’s Hospital and Houston Methodist. Funding will also go towards sending 100 youngsters, ages 6 - 17, to MDA’s annual summer camp, which takes place June 6th - 13th at Camp for All in Burton, Texas. MDA summer camp is a week ﬁlled with bonding, growth, acceptance and fun. In addition to knowledgeable camp staff and medical personnel, each camper has his or her own one-on-one volunteer counselor, who helps with all aspects of both fun and personal care. “It’s the best week of the year” said Sydney Horak, a MDA camper.

FAMILY OF LINDSAY LANEIGH FERRILL PARTNER WITH SHIELD BEARER TO SAVE LIVES

On April 25, 2012, Lindsay Laneigh Ferrill’s life was taken in a horrific dating violence incident. Her mother, Shari Nightingale, and Lindsay’s family and friends have met for years in an effort to honor Lindsay’s life by helping others. Thanks to a recent partnership, Lindsay’s Light Fund was developed as a way to better prevent dating violence. Now Lindsay’s story is an important part of the Shield Bearer Dating Violence Prevention curriculum and with your help we are spreading this crucial prevention program to a larger number of high school students. In 2007, Shield Bearer responded to a local high school experiencing a high number of dating violence incidents. Since then the highly effective Dating Violence Prevention Program has been delivered to over 20,000 students in high schools, churches and community centers. The limiting factor has always been funding. Shield Bearer is a 501c3 nonprofit celebrating 10 years of providing professional counseling services to human traffic victims, crime victims, veterans and military families and individual couples and families. Shield Bearer also provides community based prevention programs and services in schools, churches and community organizations. In 2014, Shield Bearer served 15,207 people in the Greater Houston area.

• The Declaration of Independence begins with the words “When in the course of human events.” • The Constitution is the legal framework of the United States. • Francis Scott Key wrote the words of the Star Spangled Banner. • The Liberty Bell acquired a crack on its very first ring. • The first United States flag had 13 stars and 13 stripes. • In 1942 Congress recognized the Pledge of Allegiance. • The first national capitol was located in Carpenters Hall, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. • The anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence is July 4, 1776. • The Liberty Bell is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. • The official anniversary date of Flag Day is June 14th. • The first person to sign the Declaration of Independence was John Hancock. • Historians believe Betsy Ross sewed the first official American flag. • The oldest commissioned U.S. naval vessel is named ‘The Constitution.’ • The first 10 amendments to the Constitution are familiarly known as ‘The Bill of Rights.’ • John Hancock’s signature is largest on the Declaration of Independence. • The signing of the Declaration of Independence took until August 2, 1776. • The Statue of Liberty is 151 feet tall.

GARDEN TIPS FOR JULY

• Plant fall flowering annuals where your spring annuals have bloomed out. Set our seeds like zinnia, marigold, cosmos, petunia and portulaca so you’ll have color until frost. Don’t let seedlings dry out. • In summer, prune roses to keep them in shape. Continue black spot and insect treatments. Water 2” once per week. • Remove spent crepe myrtle flowers to prolong bloom production. • Weeds rob plants of valuable water, nutrients--remove them. • Great sun/heat-lovers include coral honeysuckle, coreopsis, lantana, oleanders and hamelia. • Fertilize flowers lightly, if at all; too hot for heavy feedings. • Water your lawn longer but less frequent. Deep water of about 2 - 3” per week forces plant roots to grow down, instead of sideways into sunbaked upper soil levels. Use a bowl in your yard to measure during waterings.

Briscoe Junior High School BRISCOE EAGLES SOAR TO CHICAGO TO CHALLENGE MATHCON WITH THEIR POWERFUL MINDS

On February 20th, thirty-one 7th graders and seven 8th graders from LCISD’s Briscoe Junior High in Richmond, Texas, joined almost 45,000 students from more than 330 schools in 42 states to take an online math test (MathCON Test) hosted by the University of Illinois at Chicago. “It started in 2008 with 125 students. This year, almost 45,000 students were tested from more than 330 schools with 700 students being selected as finalists (grades 5 - 12). MathCON has two rounds, the first round is administrated at each participating school’s own campus via an online test. The second round is in Chicago and only for those that were invited based off the first round scores,” said Randall Revere, head of MathCON for Briscoe.

(713) 425-4179 Briscoe had four finalists out of a total of nine junior high students from all across Lamar CISD. Meggie Wang, Chase Albright, Christian Navarro all seventh graders and Godknows Peter as their only eighth grader. For some of the finalists, this is their first time traveling to such a major city or even traveling outside of Texas. Briscoe also had five Eagles out of 16 total junior high students become alternates, Luke Damoiseaux, Sophia Lazcano, Mckenzie Quarles, Joseph Burrhus and Hunter Johnston all seventh graders. Even though the alternates didn’t exactly make it to the finals, many of them were happy with the fact that they were even given the opportunity to participate in taking the test. The students were introduced to MathCON by their math teachers and had the options to take the test or not. Some took the test because their teacher or parent encouraged them to, others were already interested.

EAGLES LEARN EXPOSITORY

7th grade Eagles eagerly learn how to make their expository essays stronger.

A change in Briscoe’s learning history or shall I say English history, occurred at Briscoe Junior High. On Friday, March 20th and Monday, March 23rd a representative for the writing seminar arrived to our school to give our students a crash course in expository essays. Zoie Voskuhl, among other students attended through recommendation from their teachers. Students would receive a white sheet of paper with their name and the date they were to attend the workshop.

We have a new artist legend at Briscoe Jr High. Xin Zhuang is the new Leonardo Da Vinci. In Spring 2015, Zhuang, an 8th grader at Briscoe, got his art published in the article, “Texas Register.” Students’ artwork is used to decorate the front cover and blank pages of the “Texas Register.” Teachers throughout the state submit arts of different kinds from kindergarten through 12th grade. The artwork from these students dress up the gray pages and introduce students to the important facet of state government. Zhuang’s drawing was like no other. He had drawn an eagle soaring above tall trees and grasses. “It’s not Art student, Xin Zhaung, with his art teacher, Audtrey Feuge and about winning, it’s about trying your Principal, Michael Semmier.

According to them, they did not expect their essays to be one of the ones chosen to represent our school. Tee’ inspiration to write this essay was the children that he had visited in the Philippines. Ung’s inspiration to write this essay was her family’s story and turmoil during the Cambodian War.

BRISCOE’S FAMILY BOND

People at Briscoe are close with the faculty members, others are related to them. Most teachers love having their kids at Briscoe with them. It helps them have a closer bond with their children. Some teachers, such as Mrs. Cawthon, have eighth grade kids. This means next year, the parent-child-duo will be split up. “When my daughter leaves, I’ll be really sad, but still thankful she will be next door. I have a 10th grader at Foster and several times I’ve ran next door and it’s nice to have that option,” said Cawthon. Other families consist of more than just a duo. The Tamez/Garcia family is a family consisting of: one grandmother, one aunt and a brother and sister who all attend Briscoe. Sandi Tamez, her mother, her niece Kirsten Garcia, 7th grader and nephew, Anthony Garcia, 8th grader all call Briscoe their home. Not many parents get to see their child grow in such an interactive way as the parents at Briscoe do. Parents like nurse, Tiffany Campbell have gotten to see their child grow since the very beginning.

Seven Lakes High School

BUILDING EDUCATION

On Thursday, March 5th some very important guests came to Briscoe Junior High. The Fluor Team (Chris Nat, John Erford, Matthew Bispring, Garrett Bruce and Ella Aubing) came to teach Briscoe’s 7th and 8th graders what it’s like to be an engineer. Fluor is a 40,000 person engineering construction company.

SEVEN LAKES ALL STATE CHOIR MEMBERS

In this seminar, the Fluor team talked about what it is like to be an engineer and about the company Fluor. They showed Briscoe students the travel and work experiences and average engineer would have. Fluor changed a lot of students’ minds about engineering.

Seven Lakes High School Choir is honored to announce our two Seven Lakes All State Choir Members for 2014 - 2015. After a rigorous audition process, Ritvik Bhattacharjee, a senior and his sister, Ritika, a freshman, were selected to perform with the All State Choirs at the Texas Music Educator’s Convention in San Antonio. Ritvik is a Tenor 2 and Ritika is an Alto 2. They are under the direction of Choral Director, Emily Chandler and Assistant Director, Klint Jordan. Their proud parents are Sarmishtha and Subir Bhattacharjee.

This is an experience most people don’t get to have until they are in college or high school. Several students agreed this was a great opportunity.

HOUSTON FAMILY ARTS CENTER EXPLORING LIFE, LOVE & LAUGHTER

The Houston Family Arts Center (HFAC) announces its 10th mainstage season, which explores life, love and laughter through timeless musicals, zany comedies, a classic murder mystery and a Shakespearean comedy. 2015 • Shakespeare - comes to life, June 12th - July 5th with A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The canon’s most enchanted comedy pursues love with calculated abandon! This story of mortal and immortal paramours set in a mythical forest is one that will cast a spell on lovers of all ages. • 1776 - Closing this exciting season, July 24th - August 16th, is the American musical, 1776. With revolutionary immediacy, our lofty founding fathers are found to be genuine people who debate, bargain and fray one another’s nerves as they struggle on the tortuous road to independence. This musical witness to the creation of one of the most eloquent documents in history will stir the soul of every American. All performances are on the HFAC Garza Mainstage, recently named “Houston’s Best Gem of a Theatre” by the Houston Press, except for Peter Pan, which will be performed at the Berry Center.

SIRE, HOUSTON’S THERAPEUTIC EQUESTRIAN CENTERS

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED AT AUTUMN GROVE COTTAGE

The only time our clients say they feel free is when they’re riding a horse in a brisk walk around the arena or driving a carriage through the wooded pastures or feel the nudge of a horse’s muzzle at their shoulder saying, “I’m glad to see you, my friend.” Nothing else can compare with therapy on horseback. Equine-assisted activities improve physical balance and coordination, mental acuity, emotional stability and social interactions. At SIRE, we see miracles on horseback happen every day. The work of our dedicated volunteers helps guarantee that children and adults with disabilities in the Greater Houston Area will have the programs they need to live longer, healthier, more productive lives. In addition to their weekly work in the arena, many of our volunteers donate their time and talents at fund-raising events such as our annual Ride-A-Thon and the yearly Trailblazers Luncheon. Volunteers are on hand during the NARHA on-site certification and annual SIRE Show-Off and volunteers are vital to our Clients’ successes at the Top Hands Horse Show, during the Houston Rodeo and competition at the regional and state Special Olympics.
