Katy-Flewellen Median Grayson Lakes residents have asked about a county offer to share the cost of landscaping the Katy-Flewellen median in front of our community. The situation is this. About a year ago, Fort Bend county offered to provide the labor if Grayson Lakes would provide the material to landscape the median. According to the plan provided by the county, the cost to Grayson Lakes would have been about $30,000. The conclusion of the Budget Committee was that this work could not be funded since it would result in an increase in dues. Instead, the Budget Committee included $682.50 for 21 mowings a year in order to keep the median presentable.
LocaL Teen arTisT Makes Her Mark Local teen artist, Reagan Douglas, has just completed her first official recording at the famed Music World Studios in Houston, owned by Matthew Knowles, father of artist BeyoncĂŠ. The recording session was part of the prize for winning the T.E.E.S Katy Talent contest earlier this year. Her winning original song, entitled “ ‘Til the End,â€? is a tribute to those battling cancer and their families. Reagan began learning the guitar at the age of 11. She quickly took to writing lyrics and playing for anyone who would listen. Recently she performed for the Texas Children’s Hospital and Coaches for Cancer and has appeared several times on stage at Relay for Life in Katy. Her songs will soon be available on iTunes and her website, www. reaganonline.com. Her dream is to develop her career and travel around the world sharing her joy of music. T.E.E.S. Katy is a non-profit organization whose goal is to encourage teens to pursue their talents and dreams in a positive atmosphere: www.teeskaty.com.
HosTing a foreign excHange sTudenT is easier THan you May THink During the 2012-2013 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. With the current school year quickly coming to an end Ayusa’s local staff is busy looking for families for students for the 2012-2013 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. For more information and requirements, please contact Heather Wells by phone 281-770-3414 or by email ayusakaty@gmail.com.

Morton Ranch High School hosted its 7th annual Black History Program on February 16th.

Student performances ranged from original poetry works, lyrical and hip-hop dances, skits and songs.

GIFTED STUDENTS BECOME ARCHEOLOGISTS DIGGING FOR TREASURE More than 1,300 gifted students from every KISD elementary campuses visited the Katy Outdoor Learning Center over a two-week period to spend a day being archeologists. In budget conscious times, KISD and Katy Parents of Gifted and Talented (KPGT) joined forces to create a fantastic opportunity to put months of class research into practice. Specially prepared archeological pits were an unending source of fascinating artifacts leading students to hypothesize why bones, beads, arrowheads and other items may be discovered. Energetic geo-caching scavenger hunts through the woodlands introduced how archeologists use new technology. Archeology experts volunteered their time and knowledge to take students around the world on a virtual tour of ancient civilizations.

Girl Scout World Thinking day was celebrated by various level of Girl Scout Troops of the Silver Spur unit in Katy Texas on 2/21/2012. The theme this year was “we can save our planet.” Girls from Cadette Troop 17081 showcased Scotland. Their colorful display consisted of authentic Scottish dance costumes, including kilts and a Scottish National Dance ensemble, posters featuring Girl Scouting, Eco, Influential people, food and history of Scotland, dolls dressed in Scottish attire and photos from the Scottish countryside. In addition, any girls who ‘visited’ their country received a sticker of The Royal Flag of Scotland for their passport, samples of delicious Scottish shortbread and a swap kit containing a tiny glass of milk (since we are in the middle of cookie sales). As a highlight of the event two lovely young ladies from St. Thomas Episcopal School provided a lively demonstration of the Highland Fling accompanied by the rousing skirl o’ the bagpipes. Include

Wild Bear run to Benefit Kids facing life threatening illness Who: Joe Joe Bear Foundation a 501(c)(3) organization When: June 9, 2012 Why: When visiting hours are over, children in hospitals with life-threatening illnesses are alone, with no one to comfort them. A gift of a teddy bear from the Joe Joe Bear foundation is the comfort they need in these lonely times… a reminder of those who love them and want them to overcome their illnesses. We have given thousands of bears to hospitals like Shriner’s and MD Anderson; but the need is always present. A percentage of funds raised from the Wild Bear Run will allow Joe Joe Bear Foundation to continue their mission to help children. Where: Faith West Academy 2225 Porter Rd. Katy, Texas 77493 What: A 5k run through mud and obstacles How do I get involved: Contact Jeanette Maurer 281-398-4522 or email info@joejoebear.org Who can take part in the run? The run is open to anyone 16 years of age and older. The event is designed for the beginner athlete to the competitive athlete. Interview Contact: Jeanette Maurer, Founder of Joe Joe Bear Website: www.joejoebear.org Accomplishments: Joe Joe Bear Foundation was established 3 years ago and has already touched the lives of 10,000 children. Jeanette Maurer Founder of Joe Joe Bear Foundation says, “We have seen a positive difference in the children who received a Joe Joe Bear. When you are sick, scared and lonely a bear can always make you feel better even if it is for a short time.” Anyone can make a big difference by Signing up for the Wild Bear Run, Sponsoring the Event, Donating items or volunteering.

The award-winning Houston Family Arts Center (HFAC) Actors Academy is proud to present the school edition of the 8-time Tony award winning musical Les Misérables performed entirely by students! This compelling musical voyage into post-revolutionary France opens on saturday, May 5th at the Berry Center 8877 Barker Cypress Rd, Cypress, TX 77433 and has 8 performances through sunday, May 13th. The epic story presented in Les Misérables School Edition is a great way to introduce children to the magic of musical theatre. Broadway’s legendary musical, originally adapted from Victor Hugo’s timeless novel, has been specially adapted to meet the needs of young performers. Relentless in its musical drive, Les Misérables School Edition is filled with powerful imagery of darkness and light, highlighting, throughout its dramatic action, the struggle inherent in the human condition and the indomitability of the spirit, despite great suffering. Set in 19th century France, this classic and poignant musical, tells the story of Jean Valjean, a strong-hearted man jailed for stealing a loaf of bread. As he struggles to make a new life for himself given his new found freedom, he must grapple with questions of faith, fatherhood and allegiance to the law.

Living Word Lutheran ChurCh dediCation and BLessing of QuiLts and Kits On Sunday, March 25th, the interior of Living Word Lutheran Church in Katy was transformed for a Dedication and Blessing of Quilts and Kits for Lutheran World Relief. Hand tied quilts decorated all the pews. Baby Care Kits filled with baby clothes, diapers and blankets were on display, in addition to 100 red backpacks filled with school supplies. Volunteers of all ages joined the fun after the service as they packed the quilts and kits into boxes to be delivered to the warehouse in Baltimore, Maryland. From there, they will be distributed to people in need located in areas of natural disaster, or countries recovering from war. The quilts are used as wall dividers in refugee camps, mattresses and blankets to keep bodies warm or to wrap up for comfort when feeling alone.

Become an essential part of a student’s life by signing up to be a tutor for the Literacy Council! The Literacy Council of Fort Bend County holds tutor training every other month. After 12 hours of training, outstanding volunteers are equipped to teach Basic Literacy and English as a Second Language (ESL) classes to adults. The trainings prepare tutors to organize and compile lesson plans, learn about various tutoring techniques, understand the purpose of the Literacy Council and much more. Tutors do not need knowledge of any foreign language, nor do they need formal teaching experience. We offer many locations for tutoring throughout the area, including locations in Katy. Tutoring sessions are offered during the day and at night. If you are interested in impacting someone’s life by being their tutor, please contact the Literacy Council at 281-240-8181 or visit the website at www.ftbendliteracy.org. Help us to “Change Lives Through Literacy!”
ruoK Program Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Dept. has a computer-generated program called “Are You OK?” (RUOK). It is a computer-generated call intended for senior citizens (over 55) and disabled persons who live alone and could benefit from a daily check. A computer will generate a call each morning, at about the same time and the participant chooses a time frame. A voice will ask, “Are you OK?” After this, all they have to do is hang up the phone. If the participant goes out of town or leaves the residence for any time, you just temporarily un-subscribe and re-subscribe when you return. If the call goes unanswered, the computer will call back 3 times at 15-minute intervals. If there is still no answer, the Sheriff will dispatch a deputy or the local police. They will have with them a print out of information on the person that is not responding to the calls. This program was established by FBC Sheriff Milton Wright, Commissioner’s Court and Ken Whitt (FBC Sheriff’s Citizens Academy Alumni Assoc.) in 1998. Many police chiefs in the county are also participating in the program and will proceed with the welfare check for citizens of their community. To request more information or to enroll in this free and very beneficial program, please call the Sheriff’s Dept. at 281-341-4704.
