Letter from the Publishers
H
ow did 3 long months of summer vacation suddenly turn into only 3 short weeks?!? I simply cannot
believe that it’s time for schedules, school supplies and homework again! While the kids may be excited to reunite with old friends and make new ones, we as parents know that this month brings much preparation and planning! Registration deadlines, school supply shopping, schedule pick-ups, locker decoration days, Meet the Teacher nights, and of course, the highly anticipated FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!! The Back to School Guide has everything you need to start the 2013-2014 School Year off right! Important dates, times, events, lists and cafeteria pricing are included, as well as transportation and registration information. We’ve also included some healthy snack and breakfast ideas from Prosper Mom’s, as well as organizational tips to help transition from summertime to school time. August is a month of new beginnings, excitement and an eagerness for excellence!
We would like to invite each of you to help with Cornerstone’s School Supply Drive. While you are out shopping for your student, please take a moment to pick up a few extra supplies for our neighbors in need. All supplies go directly to the children that need them. Cornerstone serves the areas north of 380, but most of the families are in Prosper and Celina ISD. Cornerstone will also provide these children with a week’s worth of clothing, so that each one can be excited to wear something new on the first day of school. They accept new and gently used donations of all kinds, so please consider donating in some way to this amazing organization. You can read one neighbor’s touching story in this month’s issue, and get information on how you can volunteer, donate and serve. We are a generous and giving community – Prosper at it’s finest! We hope you enjoy your last few weeks of summer break, and we wish you much success in the new school year!! With over 6,000 students in our district now, Eagle pride is in full force – let’s show them what Prosper is all about! In school, in business and in our neighborhoods, we are a true community, and we are proud to be your voice.

Healthy S olutions by Dr. Jon Thomas
- Exertional Heat Illness Awareness and Prevention Exertional heat illness is a common summertime problem among athletes, firefighters, military personnel, construction workers, and homeowners who engage in intense physical activity during the summer months. Common conditions that may cause exertional heat illness are obesity, dehydration, use of alcohol, certain medications or stimulants, low physical fitness, or sweat gland dysfunction, in the presence of high ambient temperature and humidity. Exertional heat illness begins with heat exhaustion, where there is an obvious inability to continue at the current rate of physical exertion. The exhaustion may progress to heat injury, which may include muscle cramps, skin rash, fatigue, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, headaches, vision changes, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, profuse sweating, and elevated core body temperature. Heat injury increases the risk of damage to the muscles, kidneys, and liver. Finally, full-blown exertional heat stroke occurs when there are mental status changes, seizures, loss of consciousness, or coma, all of which represent a true medical emergency. The treatment of exertional heat illness is immediate cooling measures. Move the patient to a shaded or air conditioned area. Next, immerse the patient in cool water or cover the patient with wet cold washcloths. Use a fan to cool the patient if available. While initiating the cooling measures, immediately seek medical attention. Ways to avoid heat illness include scheduling activities for a cooler time of day (early morning or late afternoon), increasing the frequency of breaks from activity, increasing hydration, and increasing substitution of players during athletic practice or competition.

Should I Exercise Outside? By Dionna Black, BS, CPT
The Cell, Personal Trainer Source: www.airnow.gov
As the temperatures rise during our Texas Summers, the Air Quality Index (AQI), an index for reporting daily air quality, is something that we should pay attention to. It tells you how clean or polluted our air is and what associated health effects might be a concern for you. The AQI focuses on health effects you may experience within a few hours or days after breathing polluted air. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) calculates the AQI for five major air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act: ground-level ozone, particle pollution (also known as particulate matter), carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. For each of these pollutants, the EPA has established national air quality standards to protect public health. Ground-level ozone and airborne particles are the two pollutants that pose the greatest threat to human health in this country. The higher the AQI value, the greater the level of air pollution and the greater the health concern. Each category corresponds to a different level of health concern. The six levels of health concern and what they mean are: “Good” AQI is 0 - 50. Air quality is considered satisfactory and air pollution poses little or no risk. “Moderate” AQI is 51 - 100. Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of people. For example, people who are unusually sensitive to ozone may experience respiratory symptoms. “Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups” AQI is 101 - 150. Although the general public is not likely to be affected at this AQI range, people with lung disease, older adults and children are at a greater risk from exposure to ozone, whereas persons with heart and lung disease, older adults and children are at greater risk from the presence of particles in the air. “Unhealthy” AQI is 151 - 200. Everyone may begin to experience some adverse health effects and members of the sensitive groups may experience more serious effects. “Very Unhealthy” AQI is 201 - 300. This would trigger a health alert signifying that everyone may experience more serious health effects. “Hazardous” AQI greater than 300. This would trigger a health warning of emergency conditions. The entire population is more likely to be affected. When at risk of exercising outside, choose an inside alternative whether it’s going to a local gym, walking in a mall, or exercising in your own home. Variety is the spice of life, so a change in what you do for exercise can keep you motivated on the path to good health.

Transportation
Eagle Express The best way for our families and community to stay informed of district events and accomplishments is through the Eagle Express weekly e-mail publication from Dr. Watkins. Parent emails are gathered during the student registration process and are loaded into the email subscription service so they automatically receive the Eagle Express and corresponding campus principal newsletters. Community members who would like to receive the Eagle Express can sign up on-line through the PISD website. Student Registration Parents of returning PISD students are reminded to register their school children online this year through InfoSnap. Online registration through InfoSnap will be available July 29th - August 9th. It is important for parents to complete this registration information yearly in order to ensure we have accurate information for your student. Starting August 5th, new to PISD families can register their students by going directly to their home campus during regular business hours. School Meals Parents may add money to their child’s meal account by accessing the on-line MySchoolBucks button located on the left hand side of the PISD website. Lunches for Elementary students cost $2.15. At Rogers Middle School and Reynolds Middle School lunches cost $2.40. Breakfast for students at all grade levels is $1.00. Prosper High School’s cafeteria has some exciting new changes com-

Prosper ISD continues to bring quality transportation to the Prosper community through district-owned and supervised school bus services. All bus routes are equipped with propane-powered school buses, all with seatbelts, air conditioning, and video surveillance. Beginning August 12, parents can access their child’s bus route by navigating to the Departments tab on the Prosper ISD website and clicking the Transportation link. Then, click on the tab titled, Find My Bus Route or you can access the link at www.infofinderi.com. School Supplies The PISD elementary schools, Rogers MS (5th & 6th) and Reynolds MS (7th & 8th) offered parents the opportunity to purchase school supply packs in the spring. At the elementary schools, pre-ordered supplies will be delivered to each child’s classroom before Meet the Teacher Night and middle school students can pick up their pre-ordered supplies at Schedule Pick Up. Each school has a few school supply packs available for purchase on a first come, first served basis. Please call the school secretary to inquire about purchasing a school supply pack if you still need one. School supply lists are also posted to the campus web sites. High school students simply need paper and a pen the first day of school, and their individual teachers will provide students with the course requirements. Elementary Postcards Elementary students will receive a Welcome Back postcard in the mail during the week of August 19th. The postcards will indicate the student’s teacher and room number. If for some reason your elementary student does not receive a postcard in the mail, please contact the elementary school office to inquire. Please note, only students whose parents have completed the annual on-line registration through InfoSnap (July 29th – August 9th) will receive a postcard and be placed on a class list.

Our
very first Cornerstone neighbor celebrated her citizenship this month. Her story shouts the Lord’s faithfulness and provision and is a perfect example of how HE continues to work in the lives of our neighbors.
Working together, we set the priorities: 1. Find the family a place to live. 2. Help Danielle get a work visa and find a job.
Less than an hour after the first meeting to discuss starting Cornerstone, there was a knock on the door of First Baptist Church Prosper (our first partner church). Danielle* explained through her daughter’s interpretation that she and her four kids would be homeless in two weeks. Was there anything we could do to help?
We were able to find a mobile home for Danielle to rent, and furnished it with everything they needed. Together, we applied for a work visa for Danielle, and a local church hired her to clean their building. Shortly after, her work visa was granted and she started cleaning houses as well. As money started to come in, we helped Danielle make a budget.
We had no resources, but she fit the criteria we had discussed at the meeting, so we knew this was an opportunity from God.
Once the family’s immediate needs were met, we began to focus on the long term picture.
When Danielle knocked on that door, she had four kids whose ages ranged from one to twelve. She was married to an American citizen, but was in the US illegally herself. Her husband had been abusive and was in jail, so she was raising the kids on her own. Danielle had no job or any prospects. The family had been living with her uncle, but because they were breaking the rules of his lease, his landlord had given them two weeks to find another place to stay.
Before Danielle’s husband went to jail, they had been working with a lawyer to get her and two of their children citizenship. Because Danielle didn’t have the money to continue working with that office, they recommended we contact Catholic Charities. They picked up her case at no charge for the attorney. There were some court costs along the way, but we were able to help Danielle budget to cover most of them herself.
The citizenship process was long, confusing, and time consuming, but two and a half years later, she and her two children were granted citizenship! Along the way, we helped Danielle pay an occasional bill, provided some school supplies, and helped at times with court fees, but she has worked hard and only asked for financial assistance as a last and final resort. Danielle has learned some English along the way, but we are excited to offer her a spot in our upcoming ESL Class! This will help Danielle in her goal to go back to school. When she finishes, she plans to start her own cleaning company. The Lord has blessed her greatly, but Danielle has worked hard too. Her kids see both of those things and, by the grace of God, the cycle of poverty will end for Danielle’s family in this generation. *Name has been changed to foster confidentiality.

Where to Begin to Get Ready to Learn?
by Jennifer Sanchez
Getting ready for the start of the school year can be a tough task for both students and parents. For many of us, it is mentally and physically challenging. Emotions swing from excitement to fear; sleep patterns are forced to reset to earlier nights and mornings; the realization sinks in that milestones are about to be reached and we often ask, “Where has the time gone?!” Preparing for school is also about managing and maneuvering stuff. Summer shorts, toys and pool equipment must be swapped out for fall sweaters, backpacks and sports gear. Students need school supplies. The younger ones get crayons while the older ones buy dorm décor. This transition takes time and preparation is the key, but where does one begin?
One way to take on the school year is to talk about it. Parents should ask their kids what they think the next year of school will be like, what they hope will happen and how they will make this year better than the last. Both parents and students should communicate expectations and decide together how each will commit to them. This is the perfect time to figure out how bad habits can be broken, or at the very least, improved. Determining a schedule to manage daily events, but also how longer-term goals will be met, can provide a sense of relief and ease anxiety. Posting a calendar in a place where all can see it reminds everyone what the plan is and can be a source of motivation. The key is tasks and worries that are swirling in our heads are much less intimidating when they’re verbalized, discussed and strategized. Fashion & Back to School
When a line of communication has been opened and the mental clutter is cleared, both students and parents have the energy to handle the physical clutter. Summer stuff can be stored clean and dry in plastic bins, which creates space in bedrooms and study areas for books, binders, paper and pens. Clothes for the old season should move to a higher shelf in the closet, while the pieces for the new season should be easy to reach. Shelves, hooks, drawers and closets can then be utilized to their full potential so the students and parents can be the most productive.
A new school year means new opportunities to learn, for everybody. It doesn’t have to be something to dread. Prepare for it by talking about it, creating a plan, clearing a space and making the most out of it! Jennifer Sanchez is a professional organizer and owns Organize & Prosper, LLC.

Save Our Students... From Their Backpacks Tips for selecting a backpack

Choose ergonomically designed features that enhance safety and comfort. A padded back reduces pressure on the back, shoulders and under arm regions, and enhance comfort. Hip and chest belts transfer some of the backpack weight from the back and shoulders to the hips and torso. Multiple compartments better distribute the weight in the backpack, keep items secure, and ease access to the contents. ● Look for compression straps on the sides or bottom of the backpack. Tighten side straps to stabilize the articles and compress the content so that the items are as close to the back as possible. ● Reflective material enhances visibility of the child to drivers at night.

Devotional
‘“Treasure”
by Doug Kriz
She was soaking wet, but the tears rolling down her cheeks were unmistakable. “It’s my
best stroke and I came in last place!” It didn’t matter that it was close. In her mind she would swim the 25 meter butterfly like a mermaid living a secret double life. As she sat on my lap, my shorts and shirt soaked as I held her, nothing could take away her pain. When our children come into the world, our brain is rewired. The pain of a child is amplified in a parent’s heart. Whether they are crying as an infant, falling off their bike or failing to live up to their expectations, we experience their pain at full volume. Naturally, we make it imperative to prevent our kids experiencing anything unpleasant. Jesus tells a parable in Matthew 13, “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.” The world that God desires for us all isn’t one where everything is delivered to us on a silver platter. God’s kingdom is one where sacrifices are made, not painfully, but joyfully. It goes against our instincts sometimes to let our children experience failure. But if they don’t fall, they can’t rise again. If they don’t experience setbacks, how will they ever find the strength of character and spirit to make the kinds of sacrifices that bear fruit: Standing up to a friend. Giving to support something they believe in. Admitting when they are wrong. Serving someone without expecting anything in return.

I held her, she cried, but kids are stronger than we think. Their memory is short. Their hopes are big. Their faith that God will make tomorrow beautiful and precious is powerful. As much as I would like to protect her from it all, my job is to encourage her to get in the pool again and again. My job is to help her to find the courage, joy and purpose, even when success is not guaranteed. I pray she will find those opportunities to follow in the footsteps of the one who emptied himself completely for us all.

Prosper ISD News
What Are Parents Doing in Prosper Schools? by Jennifer Sanchez
There are many kinds of parents in Prosper ISD families. Some work, some stay at home. Some have business, computer science and marketing backgrounds and some are experienced in fashion, styling and design. Some are well-versed in project management and work well in groups, while others prefer to be independent and get the job done on their own. Some are really, really outgoing and others are quiet and reserved. Yet there is one thing that ties all of these types of parents together: Their desire to support their children and the PISD experience. One of the most effective ways to do that in Prosper is to join one of the six Parent Teacher Organizations (PTOs) at the elementary and middle schools. (Prosper High offers parental involvement through its Parent Action Committee {PAC} and booster organizations, among other opportunities.)
“We couldn’t accomplish what we set out to do without the help of our amazing parents.” What’s a PTO? Is that like a PTA? A PTO is a lot like a PTA in that it is made up of members who pay dues to join and every PTO is lead by an elected Executive Board. In Prosper, a PTO’s purpose is to support “the education of children at Prosper ISD schools by fostering relationships among the school, parents, and teachers.” The major difference between PTOs and PTAs is that PTOs are independent of each other and function according to their own Bylaws. They are not governed by a central body and do not pay dues to an umbrella organization. PTOs are tax-exempt organizations recognized by the IRS. PTOs fund their activities by raising money through membership, spirit wear sales, collecting Box Tops for Education™, participating in Target’s Take Charge of Education™ program and hosting an annual fun run.
Fashion & Back to School
How does a PTO help a school? PTOs utilize the varied skills of its members to sponsor events throughout the school year that reinforce the curriculum, promote fellowship between parents and celebrate the heroes who work hard every day to nurture the students – the teachers and staff. These goals are met through events like extracurricular science programs, the kindergarten “Cheers & Tears Breakfast” and Teacher Appreciation Week. PTOs work in conjunction with campus administrators to host Meet the Teacher Night, school namesake celebrations and Field Day. PTOs also offer programs like Watch DOGS and Eagle EYES that focus on the relationship between students and their most influential male role models. Additionally, all PTOs offer their own lines of spirit wear to help the Town show our Prosper Pride. More volunteer opportunities include classroom helpers and assistance at individual events. Some choose to serve ice cream in the cafeterias and work at the Book Fairs. Others prepare for weeks to host school-wide events like Groovy Day, the Sock Hop and Pastries for Parents and others serve the entire year managing the volunteer database, the financial records and the organization as a whole. Parent support of PTOs is key and PISD parents never disappoint. “We couldn’t accomplish what we set out to do without the help of our amazing parents,” says Cockrell PTO Co-President Debra Smith. “I’ve been fortunate enough to serve at four schools and year after year, parents at every campus enthusiastically and generously support each PTO for a simple reason. They love their kids.” Perhaps Baker PTO President Melisa Johnson summarizes Prosper PTOs best. “PTO is exactly what it says: Parents and teachers organized together as we rally, lift up and support our kids; the end result is we all Prosper.”

In Good Taste
Live & Prosper Magazine asked Prosper Moms: “What are some of your favorite Fun , Creative and Healthy Breakfast and After School snack ideas?” Tasha Bradley - “My guys love edamame for an after school snack. Favorite before school breakfast, breakfast burritos. We always make extra and freeze a few for later in the week. They also love smoothies – we use greek yogurt (for added protein) and fresh fruit!” Dawn Bowman – “We like turkey sausage patties in between microwave pancakes – it’s like our very own McGriddle. Also love peanut butter wraps – take peanut butter and banana and roll in flour tortilla.” Katina Gnidziejko – “I used to do whole wheat bread with peanut butter, sliced banana on top, drizzle with local honey or agave nectar and toast in the oven until warm, then sprinkle with a few dark chocolate chips for fun.” Kristin Posey – “Whole wheat pancakes with almond butter, hard boiled eggs, smoothies – with protein powder, almond milk, frozen fruit, and kale/spinach, steel cut oats. Make at night and put in refrigerator until morning.” Laura Slagle – “Baby carrots and cucumber slices with hummus after school. They fill up on veggies and it’s like a first course for dinner!” Stephanie Caltabiano – “A frozen banana, 6 ice cubes, a heaping tbsp of peanut butter, tbsp of Hersheys dark cocoa, handful of raw spinach and 1½ cups of almond milk. Blend it until smooth. Tastes like Baskin Robbins peanut butter and chocolate ice cream! My kids favorite – they think it’s dessert.” Adrienne Bonds – “We do natural peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for breakfast every morning. Protein, good carbs and a little sugar with our fruit!! After school snack: Hummus and pita chips!” Kathryn DeChaine – “Square whole wheat crackers, pizza sauce, mozzarella, and chopped frozen broccoli. Divide evenly and broil for 2-3 minutes.” Angie Hunter –” We love spreading peanut butter on apple slices! My kids also like “ants on a log” – celery with peanut butter and raisins.” Anuja Beauchamp – “We love taking Triscuits and adding either peanut butter, cream cheese, or small cut up slices of deli turkey and cheese. Also – love making fresh berry and organic vanilla yogurt smoothies. Lastly – we take dry chick peas, add some seasoning and bake in the oven for a nice lentil that is tasty, cruncy and healthy. For breakfast – the kids love having Greek Honey flavored yogurt mixed with Cinnamon Almond Raisin Bran Crunch – it’s delicious.” Natalie Tuman – “My kids’ favorite is plain Greek Yogurt with honey and berries mixed in! They have no idea that they are not getting any added sugar with all the good fats, protein and carbs they are eating…it’s a win-win for everyone!” Meridith Bowling – “Plain Greek yogurt, honey (add your favorite fruit or even some dark chocolate chips), drop tablespoon size dallops on wax paper and freeze for a tasty treat.” Carol Bowman – “Frozen grapes!” Holly Henderson – “We love the edamame steamer bags…I think the kids have just as much fun popping the beans out of the pods as they do eating them!”

Educating Our Children at Home By Jerrica Anderson, Prosper Bank
As parents, we understand the importance of literacy. We spend countless hours reading with our children. However, children must be “literate” about money matters, too. In the United States, fewer than half of states have any financial literacy requirements for their K-12 education systems, and only four states require high school students to take personal finance classes. In the end, we hope that our children will grow into financially responsible adults. The rewards are life-altering: living within their means, free from the anxieties of debt, and secure in their future. It is important that children learn how to save when they are young because that’s when they form habits that last a lifetime. Just like learning to ride a bike, many skills are easier to master when you are young than when you are an adult.
The consequences of how children learn to manage money are vitally important for their life, happiness and future. Managing money well allows them to distinguish between wants and needs, learn how to save and budget, and make wise spending decisions. Parents and other adults have a substantial responsibility to provide a good model of money management to children. Today is a great opportunity to promote good saving behavior as well as assess your own saving status. Founded in 1903, Prosper Bank has been a cornerstone to the community and supports the families and businesses of Prosper and the surrounding areas. Member FDIC / Equal Housing Lender
Learning how to think about money and how to manage it wisely is a valuable life lesson. Anytime is the right time to begin teaching children about money. The following tips provided by The American Bankers Association are to help parents communicate financial education at home. 1. Talk openly about money with your kids. Communicate your values and experiences with money. Encourage them to ask questions, and be prepared to answer them – even the tough ones. 2. Explain the difference between needs and wants, the value in saving and budgeting and the consequences of not doing so. 3. Set up a chore chart and give your children an allowance for completing their tasks. Require them to save at least a small portion each week. The three jars method, one for spending, one for saving and one for charitable contributions is a good way to impart a sense of responsibility. 4. Open up a savings account at your local community bank for your children and take them with you to make deposits, so children can learn how to be hands-on in their money management. 5. Be an example of a responsible money manager by paying bills on time, being a conscious spender and an active saver. Children tend to emulate their parents’ personal finance habits.
