Green Trails, Phase II
in KEYS through their senior year. This is the first year that PIE has opened sponsorship levels for KEYS, with 100 percent of the sponsorship dollars going directly to KEYS Scholarships. Former KEYS student Eduardo Reyes and his KEYS mentor Jim Burns visited Firethorne representatives last week to thank them for their generous support. The KEYS (Keep Encouraging Youth toward Success) mentor program is offered to Katy ISD students who are on the brink of success. Often, these students have been challenged by life circumstances outside of their control. Mentors meet with their students on campus each week during the school year, in between the school day. When Reyes’ mentor first met him, it wasn’t with the intent of becoming his mentor, it was with the intent of helping him organize his backpack, locker and life. After several weeks of helping Reyes get organized, Burns naturally fell into the role of becoming his mentor. For the next six years, Burns helped Reyes recognize his gifts, talents, intelligence and encouraged him to pursue his dreams.

DEMOGRAPHIC UPDATE SHOWS CONTINUED GROWTH FOR KATY ISD
During the October 24th Board of Trustees meeting, Dr. Pat Guseman, president of Population and Survey Analysts (PASA), presented the 2011 Demographic Update that shows steady growth for Katy ISD, at a rate of approximately three percent each year over the next five years. While slightly slower than the rapid growth experienced between 2001 and 2009, the report shows approximately 23,000 additional students moving to the district during the next 10 years. The district also announced that as part of the Long Range Facilities Plan process, Katy ISD has entered into the initial stages of the Attendance Boundary Modification (ABM) process. Last November, Katy ISD voters approved a bond referendum that included five new campuses – three elementary schools, one junior high and one high school. Four of the five campuses are set to open in fall 2012 and High School No. 7 is slated to open in fall 2013. Katy ISD is a TEA Recognized district serving more than 62,000 students. Covering 181 square miles west of downtown Houston, Katy ISD is comprised of 53 campuses and with more than 8,000 employees is one of the largest employers in the West Houston area.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS
It’s a stark irony of the Western calendar that the odometer turns over smack dab in the middle of winter, the one time of the year when most people can’t rouse themselves to clean their bathrooms, much less make an ambitious, life-changing, behavioral U-turn. If you’re the type who likes to ring in the New Year with an engraved list of resolutions, read on for hints about how best to keep them. Aim low. It goes without saying that most New Year’s resolutions are easier announced (or written) than done, but if you set the bar too high, you’re doomed from the start. Instead of a sweeping declaration like “I will lose 30 pounds by April and finally fit into that dress,” target a goal that’s more attainable, like losing 10 or 15 pounds. Don’t overload yourself. It’s difficult enough for the average person to follow through on one ambitious New Year’s resolution; why on earth would you saddle yourself with three or four? Choose the most pressing issue at hand losing weight, finding a girlfriend, improving your relationship with your parents and concentrate on that. Trying to do everything simultaneously practically guarantees failure across the board. Tell everyone you know. One school of thought says that New Year’s resolutions are best kept to oneself, but look at it this way: the more people to whom you announce your resolution (say, to get out of your dead-end job by spring), the more people there’ll be to prod you along if you fall behind. There’s no shame in seeking help if you can’t accomplish your resolution on your own. Reward yourself. Following through on a New Year’s resolution is rarely easy, so a little Pavlovian conditioning goes a long way. If you’ve resolved to shop less, stroke yourself for not buying those shoes by springing for a steaming hot cappuccino at the mall. If you’ve resolved to be nicer to people, buy yourself a nice jacket after enduring that tedious cocktail party without delivering any insults. Wait until spring. Sometimes the best way to accomplish a New Year’s resolution is to make it at a time of year of your choosing, rather than the one dictated by the calendar. May 1st is a good alternate date, since the change of season will neatly coincide with the change you’re hoping to accomplish in yourself. By Bob Strauss, www.ehow.com.

INDOOR EXERCISE FOR KIDS
Motivating kids to stay fit is a challenge. There’s so much competition: television, computer games, talking to friends on the phone. It’s even harder when the weather is bad or if there’s not a safe place outdoors to exercise. But encouraging children to stay fit is more important than ever.

Studies show that a growing number of American children are overweight or obese. This puts them at risk for health problems, such as diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. Overweight children tend to have lower self-esteem, too, and may be treated unfairly by other kids in school. Even small amounts of exercise can help children stay at a healthful weight. With some planning, children can find ways to exercise without leaving home. Tammy Smith, Owner-Operated

Tame The TV One great way to get kids exercising is to cut back on the amount of time they spend sitting around not moving—especially time spent watching television. An article in the journal Physician and Sportsmedicine shows that reducing TV time diverts children to more active pursuits. Additional studies show a link between TV time and obesity—the more people watch, the more likely they are to be overweight. Your home GYm—no equipmenT required Children can stay in good shape by doing simple exercises in the home, says Ken Baldwin, MEd., a personal trainer certified by the American Council on Exercise. Baldwin, a children’s fitness expert, says children and adolescents “should work on strength-training and agility skills and cardiovascular training.”
