By: Jose R. Martinez Jr. Roma ISD CTE/CCMR Director Roma ISD STC-PREP Program students recently completed the Summer STC-PREP PreEngineering Program at South Texas College. STC-PREP is an intensive 4-year six-week summer program that exposes students to the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) career fields. The students attended virtual classes from June 14 to July 22. The program includes course work, team projects, class presentations, examinations, career awareness speakers and special events. This is the 11th year that the program

has been offered to Roma ISD students in partnership with South Texas College. Pictured is the closing ceremony held at South Texas College in Rio Grande City for Year-4 students that completed their 4-year commitment to the STC-PREP program. The students received their Certificates of Completion as well as a cord to be worn at their high school graduation ceremony. These students strived and sacrificed for 4 summers as they continued their journey through the intensive courses.

Even a pandemic did not stop them from achieving their goal of completing the program.

Their class of 27 students has been the largest of all the STCPREP cohorts! Credit goes to the students and their parents for their commitment and sacrifice to complete the Pre-Engineering Program. They are well on their way to successful careers in the STEM fields.

Congratulations as well to all the students for continuing to expand their knowledge throughout the summer and preparing themselves for the future! Special recognition to the STC/Roma ISD instructors and STC personnel for this unique program.

Many thanks go out to Mr. Charles Anderson, Rio High graduate of the Class of 1963, who very generously donated $1,000 to help the efforts in reviving the Historic Fort Ringgold facilities. Mr. Anderson generosity will go a long way in beautifying the fort, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993

Did you know that teens who start drinking before the age of 15 years are 5 times more likely to develop alcohol dependence or abuse later in life than those who begin drinking at or after the legal age of 21?

The time to start talking to your teen about underage drinking is now. Early adolescence is when some children begin experimenting with alcohol or feeling pressure to drink.

To encourage your teen to avoid alcohol, talk to him or her about the risks and the importance of making good decisions.

For tips on how to start the conversation, please visit www. samhsa.gov.

Approaching drivers do NOT have to stop for a school bus that is operating a visual signal if the road is separated by a physical barrier or an intervening space.

If a highway is only divided by a left-turn lane, it is not considered divided and drivers must stop for school buses. · Drivers who illegally pass a school bus face fines up to $1,250 for the first offense. For people convicted of the offense more than once, the law allows for the person’s driver license to be suspended for up to six months.

A ticket for this offense cannot be dismissed through defensive driving. Criminal charges are possible if a driver causes someone serious bodily injury. ·Always obey speed limits and traffic laws in school zones. ·Remember, texting while driving is illegal in Texas.

Private Water Well Screening in Starr County Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service office in Starr County is having a water well screening program on August 11, 2021 at the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service office in Starr County, 500 N. Britton Ave, Rio Grande City, to give area residents the opportunity to have their well water tested.

“Private water wells should be tested annually,” said Omar Montemayor, AgriLife Extension Service County Extension Agent in Starr County.

Montemayor said for area residents to have their well water tested, they need to open and drain a new, sealed, 16.9oz water bottle and use it to collect water sample from the nearest faucet to the water well.

Sample must be collected on the drop off date. The drop off

date will be August 11, 2021.

This will be a free program and samples must be turned in by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, August 11, 2021. Samples will be screened for common contaminants, including fecal coliform bacteria, nitrates, arsenic and high salinity.

The presence of fecal coliform bacteria in water indicates that waste from humans or warmblooded animals may have contaminated the water. Water contaminated with fecal coliform bacteria is more likely to also have pathogens present that can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea or other symptoms.

“Water with nitrate nitrogen at levels of 10 parts per million is considered unsafe for human consumption,” Montemayor said. “These nitrate levels above

10 parts per million can disrupt the ability of blood to carry oxygen throughout the body, resulting in a condition called methemoglobinemia. Infants less than 6 months of age and young livestock are most susceptible.”

Salinity as measured by total dissolved solids will also be determined for each sample.

Water with high levels may leave deposits and have a salty taste and using water with high levels for irrigation may damage soil or plants.

Governor Abbott, HHSC Announce Extension of Emergency SNAP Benefits for August On August 9, 2021, Governor Greg Abbott announced that the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is providing approximately $267 million in emergency Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food benefits for the month of August as the state continues its response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Emergency SNAP benefits have helped millions of eligible Texas families and individuals put food on the table as they navigate the ongoing coronavirus pandemic,” said Governor Abbott. “These supplemental benefits from HHSC will help continue to provide crucial support to Texans in need across the Lone Star State.”

“These emergency SNAP benefits continue to help Texans during the ongoing pandemic by providing food for individuals and their families,” said Texas HHS Access and Eligibility Services Deputy Executive Commissioner Wayne Salter. “We are happy to continue to support that need.”

HHSC received federal approval from the U.S.

Department of Agriculture to extend the maximum, allowable amount of SNAP benefits to recipients based on family size, and all SNAP households are receiving a minimum of $95 in emergency allotments.

The emergency August allotments are in addition to the more than $3.9 billion in benefits previously provided to Texans

since April 2020.

Recipients will also continue to receive a 15 percent increase in their total benefits, which will continue monthly until September 2021. This 15 percent increase and the additional emergency allotment amount should appear in recipients’ accounts by August 31.

Administered by HHSC, SNAP

is a federal program that provides food assistance to approximately 1.4 million eligible low-income families and individuals in Texas.

Texans in need can apply for benefits, including SNAP and Medicaid, at YourTexasBenefits. com or use the Your Texas Benefits mobile app to manage their benefits.

Governor Abbott Takes Action To Mitigate Rise In COVID-19 Cases In Texas New Actions Will Increase Health Care Facility Staffing & Capacity, Expand Antibody Infusion Centers, Increase Vaccine Availability On August 9, 2021, Governor Greg Abbott announced a series of actions the State of Texas is taking to mitigate the recent rise in COVID-19 cases in Texas.

The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) will be utilizing staffing agencies to provide medical personnel from out-of-state to Texas health care facilities to assist in COVID-19 operations. The Governor has also sent a letter to the Texas

Hospital Association asking hospitals to voluntarily postpone elective medical procedures, for which a delay will not result in loss of life or the deterioration of a patient’s condition, in order to increase hospital capacity for COVID-19 patients.

Governor Abbott is directing the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) and DSHS to open additional COVID-19 antibody infusion centers in communities across the state.

These infusion centers will treat COVID-19 patients who do not need hospitalization with therapeutic drugs that can prevent

their condition from worsening and requiring hospital care.

These centers also help increase bed capacity in hospitals so that resources are available for the most ill patients. The existing infusion center in Lubbock will expand capacity this week, and DSHS will launch five new centers throughout Texas beginning with a facility in San Antonio. The State deployed similar measures in early 2021 to communities across Texas.

Patients must meet certain criteria and have a referral from a doctor.

The Governor is also directing TDEM and DSHS to increase

RIO GRANDE CITY GRULLA ISD The Rio Grande City Grulla ISD Transportation Department is ready for a new and safe school year. We emphasize school bus safety with our on-going hands-on school bus safety training to all of our students and staff. We ask that parents encourage their sons/daughters to follow bus conduct rules and school bus safety tips so our school bus drivers can concentrate better in providing a safer bus trip to and from school. If you have any questions regarding bus routes and/or campus schedules, please call us at 956-370-4847.

SCHOOL BUS SAFETY TIPS • Get to the bus stop five minutes early.

• Stand away from the curb ~ at least ten feet from bus.

• Sit quietly in seat.

• Be quiet at train crossings.

• Do not wear clothing with loose strings.

• Make sure backpack straps are short and do not get caught on handrail or in the bus door.

• When stepping off bus, look to

make sure no cars are passing on the shoulder.

• Before crossing the street, take five giant steps out from the front of the bus, or until the driver can see you.

• Wear a mask to protect yourself.

•Temperature checks will continue to be done before boarding.

• Hand sanitizer will be available on the bus.

TIPS FOR DRIVING IN SCHOOL ZONE • Put away your cell phone. Cell phone use is banned in active school zones, and violators will face fines in school zones where signs are posted.

• Always obey school zone speed limit signs. Remember, traffic fines usually double in school zones.

• Drop off and pick up your children in your school’s designated areas, not the middle of the street.

• Keep an eye on children gathered at bus stops.

• Be alert for children who might dart across the street or between vehicles on their way to school.

To our community motorists, we would like to remind them that in Texas it’s unlawful to pass a stopped school bus while the bus has activated its mechanical stop sign and flashing red lights for the purpose of receiving and discharging passengers. Also, the use of cell phones are not allowed in school zones and school property.

TSec. 545.066. PASSING A SCHOOL BUS; OFFENSE. (a) An operator on a highway, when approaching from either direction a school bus stopped on the highway to receive or discharge a student:(1) shall stop before reaching the school bus when the bus is operating a visual signal as required by Section 547.701; and(2) may not proceed until:(A) the school bus resumes motion;(B) the operator is signaled by the bus driver to proceed; or(C) the visual signal is no longer actuated.
