Earns anA<br />

Send your kids to school with a nutritious<br />

breakfast and they might come home with<br />

better test scores and fewer behavioral<br />

problems. There’s no doubt about it -<br />

breakfast is a big deal. Decades of research<br />

have shown that kids who make this meal a<br />

habit have better diets, healthier bodies,<br />

higher test scores, lighter moods and more<br />

mental stamina. No matter how hectic your<br />

mornings are, it’s worth taking the time to<br />

make sure your kids get good food before<br />

school starts.<br />

Does breakfast really make a difference?<br />

Food fuels the body with glucose, the main<br />

energy source for the mind and muscles. This<br />

refueling is especially important in the<br />

morning because the body hasn’t had any<br />

food since the night before. Children’s daily<br />

nutrient intake also tends to be higher when<br />

they eat breakfast, according to the American<br />

Dietetic Association (ADA). Whole-grain cereal<br />

with milk and a glass of citrus juice, for<br />

example, delivers lots of vitamin C,<br />

calcium, thiamin, riboflavin, fiber, iron<br />

and folate.<br />

Children who eat breakfast are also<br />

more likely to have lower blood<br />

cholesterol levels and are less likely to<br />

gain weight, miss school or visit the<br />

school nurse than children who don’t<br />

have a morning meal.<br />

Make a breakfast plan<br />

Mornings can often be the busiest<br />

part of the day. To help make sure<br />

breakfast stays on your family’s<br />

schedule no matter how pressed for<br />

time you are, try these tips from the<br />

ADA and the American Academy of<br />

Pediatrics (AAP).<br />

• Set your table the night before. Save<br />

yourself a few precious minutes in the<br />

morning by setting out dishes, cereal,<br />

bagels, bread, fruit or instant breakfast<br />

mix before you go to bed.<br />

• Use last night’s leftovers. Don’t fret if<br />

it’s not traditional breakfast food. A<br />

slice of pizza or macaroni and cheese<br />

warmed up in the microwave can still<br />

provide needed nutrients.<br />

• Keep your cupboards and fridge stocked<br />

with quick, healthy breakfast foods, such<br />

as granola bars, bagels, bananas, yogurt,<br />

cottage cheese, dried fruit, instant<br />

oatmeal, whole-wheat toaster waffles and<br />

fruit or vegetable juice.<br />

• Be flexible. If your child can’t or won’t eat<br />

first thing in the morning, offer fruit juice<br />

at home and pack a breakfast to go.<br />

English muffins or bagels with peanut<br />

butter, a low-fat cheese sandwich or<br />

whole-wheat banana nut bread will travel<br />

well. You can also ask if your child can<br />

have breakfast at school-many school<br />

cafeterias offer morning meals.<br />

The best breakfasts include foods with<br />

carbohydrates, proteins and fats. This type<br />

of meal can satisfy hunger and maintain<br />

blood sugar levels for hours. Sugary foods<br />

cause a quick rise in blood sugar and<br />

energy that fizzles out in about one hour.<br />

The bottom line on breakfast<br />

A morning meal gives kids an edge on<br />

hunger, energy and brainpower. Even if it<br />

means setting alarm clocks 20 minutes<br />

early, find a way to make breakfast a<br />

regular at your house-your kids aren’t<br />

ready for school without it.<br />

GARDEN TIPS FOR SEPTEMBER<br />

Time now to make plans for fall landscaping projects.<br />

• Clean up flowerbeds of fallen foliage, yellowed leaves and dead<br />

wood. Light green leaves may signify lack of iron (chlorosis). Correct<br />

with iron cheleates.<br />

• Cut off old dead foliage on irises. Scratch in a little bone meal around<br />

the roots.<br />

• Prune roses to reshape and groom plants for fall growth. Follow up<br />

with a dose of fertilizer the first week of <strong>September</strong>.<br />

• Plants come out of summer rest and go crazy. Insect populations<br />

explode as we get into cooler temperatures. Diseases that have been<br />

dormant wake up.<br />

- Citrus, croton, avocado and mango are susceptible to spider mites<br />

and thrips. Discourage them with a strong jet of water from a hose<br />

directed to the undersides of the leaves.<br />

- Hibiscus, citrus, palms, gardenia and ixora are susceptible to scale<br />

and mealybug.<br />

• Winter vegetable gardens and perennials get planted.<br />

• Wait until November to plant petunias and pansies.<br />

• Fire ants baits should be put out in <strong>September</strong>-October to lessen the<br />

number of eggs that make it to Spring.<br />

• St. Augustine grass gets its fall fertilizer during <strong>September</strong>. Continue<br />

to mow at maximum height. You want to leave a lot of leaf surface to<br />

produce carbohydrate reserves for the winter.<br />

• Keep an eye out for sod webworms. First sign of them is grass that<br />

appears to stop growing. You need to get them early for biological<br />

controls to work. When the caterpillars are only 1/4 inch, Bacillus<br />

thuringiensis applications can slow them. Bt is a bacteria that works<br />

on the caterpillars’ digestive systems and makes them stop feeding.<br />

Do the application late in the day. The larvae feed at night and you<br />

want them to get nice fresh Bt.<br />

• When the heat and drought end, the weather could bring brown<br />

patch disease in the St. Augustine grass. Watch for yellowish spots if<br />

the nights drop into the 60’s and days stay in the 80’s.<br />

• Get any pruning of hedges and such done now. You want the flush of<br />

new growth to be hardened-off before the end of October. Tree pruning<br />

should be put off until winter, when the trees are dormant.<br />

• Pre-emerge herbicide applications targeting annual bluegrass and<br />

the earlier-germinating winter broadleaf weeds needed to be put out<br />

starting in mid-August.<br />

Two Katy Isd High Schools<br />

Are “Best In Houston Area”<br />

Katy ISD is known to have some of the best schools in the area and just<br />

recently Cinco Ranch High and Seven Lakes High were recognized as part<br />

of the top 100 list of “the best high schools in the Houston area for <strong>2018</strong>”<br />

according to the nonprofit organization Children at Risk.<br />

For 13 years, Children at Risk has ranked Texas schools to help parents,<br />

educators and community members understand how their schools are<br />

performing and to spark dialogue on the quality of public education<br />

across Texas. This year Seven Lakes High School received an A+ and<br />

Cinco Ranch received an A.<br />

“Katy ISD has a total of 10 high schools, including our Miller Career &<br />

Technology School and Raines High School and many of them often<br />

find themselves ranking high on these prestigious lists,” said Assistant<br />

Superintendent for Secondary School Leadership and Support Jeff Stocks.<br />

“Katy ISD continues to be a destination school district where families find<br />

great opportunities for their children to reach their fullest potential.”<br />

To rank the schools, researchers examine student achievement,<br />

achievement plus poverty level, student growth and college readiness.<br />

Dean Ruck, transformed a previously abandoned house into an interactive<br />

temporary public sculpture. Sourced from Cherry House Moving Company,<br />

the 1940s-era house was originally located in Santa Fe, Texas. After moving<br />

the home to Sam Houston <strong>Park</strong> in April, Havel and Ruck stripped the<br />

structure’s interior and exterior using drill saws and other tools. They cut<br />

circular holes into the walls and filled them with PVC pipe to create a “Swiss<br />

cheese” or “lace” appearance and collaged the interior walls with vintage<br />

images sourced from family, friends and local resale shops representing the<br />

city’s people, places and past.<br />

GOOD NEIGHBOR DAY<br />

SEPTEMBER 28 TH<br />

Neighbors are an integral part of our social lives - whether at home or at work. Good<br />

Neighbor Day on <strong>September</strong> 28 th is an annual holiday that promotes neighborliness<br />

and niceness towards people who surround us.<br />

How to Celebrate?<br />

• Be nice to your neighbor - at home or elsewhere.<br />

• If you don’t know your neighbors well, maybe today is your<br />

chance to go up to them and strike up a conversation.<br />

• Bake some goodies and share them with your neighbors.<br />

Bring them to work for your work neighbors.<br />

• Invite your neighbors to your home for a meal.<br />

Did You Know…<br />

…that the word neighbor comes from the Old English word neahgebur,<br />

where neah means near and gebur means inhabitant?<br />

On <strong>September</strong> 28 th , National Good Neighbor Day is celebrated. This annual holiday<br />

was first proclaimed by President Jimmy Carter in 1978. Mrs. Becky Mattson<br />

from Lakeside, Montana came up with the idea of a national holiday recognizing<br />

the importance of good neighbors in 1971. In 1978, U.S. President Jimmy Carter<br />

announced the creation of a national day aimed at raising public awareness that<br />

good neighbors help achieve human understanding and build strong, thriving<br />

communities. Since then, National Good Neighbor Day has been acknowledged<br />

by various levels of government and is celebrated every year. The holiday was<br />

originally celebrated on the fourth Sunday in <strong>September</strong>, but in 2003 its date<br />

was changed to <strong>September</strong> 28 th . On this day, Nextdoor.com, a social network for<br />

neighborhoods, announces the recipients of Nextdoor’s Good Neighbor Award.<br />

Everyone can nominate a neighbor or a group of neighbors by writing a short story<br />

about what they have done to help their local community and make it a better<br />

place. National Good Neighbor Day is the perfect occasion to honor the people<br />

who make significant contributions to creating safer neighborhoods and stronger<br />

communities across the United States.<br />
