DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME<br />
starts MARCH 11, <strong>2018</strong><br />
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is often wrongly referred to as “Daylight Savings,”<br />
with an “s” at the end. Other common variations are “Summer Time” and “Daylight-Saving<br />
Time.”<br />
The term “Daylight Savings Time” is very commonly used, especially in Australia,<br />
Canada and the United States. It’s likely that the incorrect term “savings” entered<br />
the popular vocabulary because it’s so often used in everyday contexts, like “savings<br />
account.”<br />
At the beginning of the DST period in the spring, clocks are moved forward,<br />
usually by 1 hour. When DST ends in fall (autumn), clocks are turned back again.<br />
DST does not add daylight, but it gives more usable hours of daylight. In that<br />
sense, DST “saves” daylight, especially during early spring. Standard time refers<br />
to time without DST.<br />
spring forward !!!<br />

GARDENING TIPS<br />
FOR MARCH<br />
VEGETABLES<br />
• Plant vegetables such as tomatoes, sweet corn and snap beans and<br />
pepper, as well as cucumbers, lima or butter beans, cantaloupe, okra<br />
(if the soil has warmed sufficiently - 70 degrees F. or higher), southern<br />
peas, pumpkin, squash, peanuts and watermelon.<br />
LAWN<br />
• Re-sod or replant as needed with turfgrasses adapted to this part of<br />
Texas and suited to the planting location (shade or sun).<br />
• When resodding semi-shaded areas with St. Augustine, use ONLY<br />
the variety Floratam for best pest resistance. See www.plantanswers.<br />
com/grass.htm.<br />
TREES AND SHRUBS<br />
• Plant container-grown trees and shrubs as soon as possible. In shady<br />
areas, where grass is difficult to grow, consider planting a dependable<br />
groundcover such as English ivy, Asian jasmine, vinca or one of the<br />
prostrate junipers.<br />
• Prune spring flowering and evergreen shrubs during early <strong>March</strong>.<br />
However, be sure to prune spring flowering shrubs after they have<br />
bloomed.<br />
• Fertilize with a pre-plant application of a slow-release fertilizer<br />
analysis such as 19 - 5 - 9 at the rate of 3 pounds per 100 square feet<br />
of garden planting area. Early <strong>March</strong> is the ideal time to fertilize<br />
landscape plants because you give them food just before the spring<br />
growing season starts.<br />

CFISD Livestock Show and Sale<br />
LIVESTOCK SHOW AND SALE GENERATES<br />
NEARLY $340,000 FOR PROJECTS<br />
CFISD students and the high school FFA programs showcased another successful<br />
CFISD Livestock Show and Sale, its 24 th year, on Feb. 8 th -10 th at the CFISD Exhibit Center.<br />
Even with the entire greater Houston area recovering from Hurricane Harvey and<br />
the post-storm flooding, the CFISD community showed an incredible amount of<br />
generosity in the live auction, freezer sale and via additional monetary contributions<br />
to students.<br />
Cypress Falls High School senior Jessica Byrd’s Grand Champion<br />
Swine sold to Conda Maze JRP LLC for $31,000, which<br />
set a new record at the CFISD Livestock Show and Sale.<br />
The Premium Sale (live auction) unofficially raised nearly $340,000. Final amounts<br />
from the Freezer Sale (animals not placing high enough for the live auction), Agriculture<br />
Mechanics and Horticulture silent auction and additional gifts to students<br />
are not yet available, but one new record was broken:<br />
Conda Maze JRP LLC paid $31,000 for the Grand Champion swine exhibited by<br />
Jessica Byrd (Cypress Falls), eclipsing the previous record.<br />
“Knowing the tremendous hardship (Hurricane Harvey) placed on the community,<br />
we were prepared for participation to be down,” said Denise Kubecka, lead<br />
curriculum coordinator in the career and technical education department. “When<br />
it came time for students to turn in their entries, we realized our numbers would<br />
once again be strong. In the wake of all going on in the community, families found<br />
a way to keep their children involved in the FFA program. It is always an emotional<br />
experience for me to watch the pride the students exhibit as they walk into that<br />
arena. This year was even more exciting knowing the extra obstacles many students<br />
had to overcome.”<br />
The following Livestock Royalty representatives were chosen:<br />
Show King - Caleb Abercrombie from Cypress Ranch FFA;<br />
Show Queen - Kylie Bassett from Cy-Fair FFA;<br />
Mr. Show Teen - Kyle Green from Cypress Woods FFA;<br />
Miss Show Teen - Allysondra Quijano from Cypress Woods FFA; and<br />
Top Hand (Sales) - Makenzie Cegelski from Jersey Village FFA.<br />

Job Awareness Fair<br />
JA INSPIRE MODELS CAREER AWARENESS TO 9,000 EIGHTH-GRADE STUDENTS<br />
Approximately 9,000 students from 18 CFISD middle schools connected<br />
to potential careers and opportunities in Junior Achievement<br />
of Southeast Texas (JASET)’s fifth annual job awareness fair,<br />
JA Inspire, Feb. 5 th -7 th .<br />
The three-day event at the Berry Center allowed all eighth-grade<br />
students to interact with more than 50 Houston businesses in a<br />
variety of industries.<br />
Each day began with a morning welcome session for all students in<br />
the Berry Center arena. Students were then divided in three groups<br />
that rotated between industry presentations in the conference<br />
center, a soft-skills demonstration in the arena and exhibitors in<br />
the second-floor concourse.<br />
Students were divided up by four endorsement tracks (STEM, business<br />
and industry, public services and arts and humanities) that<br />
they selected beforehand to receive a more specialized experience.<br />

While exploring career stations on the concourse, students spoke<br />
with company employees and industry representatives to learn<br />
more about their businesses.<br />
Speakers in different career fields closed each day. They included<br />
KPRC Channel 2 anchor Rachel McNeill, a Cypress Creek High School<br />
graduate and Heritage Texas Properties realtor associate Lily Jang,<br />
a Langham Creek High School graduate.<br />
“Our eighth-grade students are fortunate to be able to participate<br />
in an interactive experience that provides them with information on<br />
a variety of careers and local employers from the greater Houston<br />
area,” said Dr. Linda Macias, associate superintendent of curriculum<br />
and instruction and accountability. “This will assist them in making<br />
informed decisions when selecting an endorsement and course<br />
selections for high school.”<br />

CCS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE COLLEGE BOARD<br />
AP CAPSTONE DIPLOMA PROGRAM<br />
CCS is one of approximately 1,500 high schools worldwide to implement<br />

students to develop skills that matter most for college success,<br />
such as research, collaboration and communication. Developed<br />
in direct response to feedback from higher education faculty and<br />

different ways and contains the key to understanding<br />
each other’s unique needs. What<br />
speaks love to you may be meaningless to<br />
your spouse. Apply the right principles, learn<br />
the right language and soon you’ll know the<br />
profound satisfaction and joy of being able to<br />
express your love and feel truly loved in return.<br />

Dr. Chapman and have the opportunity to<br />
discuss the principles taught both in the small<br />
group and with your spouse. Singles are also<br />
welcome as there will be opportunity to apply<br />
the teaching to relationships with children,<br />
parents and other significant people in one’s<br />
life. Classes will last for 75 minutes and a<br />
nursery for preschool children will be available<br />

ST. ELIZABETH ANN SETON SCHOLA CANTORUM<br />
Do you want your children to become lifelong servants of the Church?<br />
Singing in a children’s choir is a great way to help that. The St. Elizabeth<br />
Ann Seton Schola Cantorum is currently accepting children Grades 4-12<br />
for its after-school choir program. The choir is responsible for enriching<br />
the Mass on 10:30 on Sundays and rehearses every Wednesday from<br />
3:45-5 PM. Unique in the area, the choir focuses on singing music from<br />
the rich Catholic tradition, including chant and polyphony, as well<br />
as the finest modern church music. Time is devoted to building the<br />
children’s skills of music reading, vocal technique, thinking about the<br />
words and the structure and meaning of the Mass. Service hours are<br />
available for older students. For more information, please contact Dr.<br />
Douglas O’Neill at doneill@seascs.org.<br />
