<strong>September</strong> <strong>2018</strong> | <strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Grove</strong>
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 />

Doggie Don’ts<br />
Most of our dog owners are responsible, using a leash and picking up<br />
after your pets. We thank you!<br />
HOWEVER - We have received reports of dog owners allowing their dogs<br />
to defecate and urinate in yards. This is especially a problem in hightraffic<br />
areas near park entrances. Be aware that it is not just your dog.<br />
Once a yard has been “used,” other dogs want to do so as well. A resident<br />
should not have to pick up after even one dog, much less ten. In addition,<br />
runners and walkers in our parks don’t enjoy dodging excrement. Please<br />
carry a bag and pick up after your pet.<br />
Remember also, that even the sweetest dog may seem intimidating to<br />
some people. Respect their rights and comply with leash laws.<br />
<strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Grove</strong> Is On Facebook<br />

Trash Days<br />
Garbage pick up occurs on Wednesday and Saturday.<br />
On the following holidays, our garbage is not collected and it will not be<br />
collected until the next designated pick up date. In other words, trash<br />
will NOT be picked up the day after a holiday.<br />
• Independence Day-July 4 th<br />
• Labor Day<br />
• Thanksgiving<br />
• Christmas<br />
• New Year’s Day<br />
How Do We Look?<br />
Curb appeal has a big impact on your property value, even if your home<br />
is not for sale. Buyers evaluate the neighborhood, not just one house.<br />
Stand back from your house and take a close look to see if it needs a<br />
mini-makeover. Think about security as well. Has your shrubbery<br />
become overgrown, covering windows or blocking the sidewalk? Do<br />
low-hanging limbs obscure the front? Does the lawn have brown areas<br />
or weeds? Is the siding mildewed or paint peeling? You may want to ask a<br />
friend’s opinion; it is easy to overlook things we see everyday. Make plans<br />
now to spruce up.<br />
Cars that are parked in the street are also a turn-off to buyers. Make the<br />
extra effort to keep cars in the driveway. It looks better and is safer for<br />
your neighbors and your car.<br />
Most Common Deed Violations<br />
The Volume of letters sent regarding Violations continues to be an<br />
increasing expense for the <strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Grove</strong> Home Owners Association. All<br />
expenses incurred including postage to mail out fines, weigh seriously on<br />
the assessments paid by each homeowner. We request your compliance<br />
to help keep cost to a minimum and to keep our community as attractive<br />
as possible.<br />
TOP 5 VIOLATIONS<br />
1. Leaving trash cans out in public view.<br />
2. Not maintaining your yard.<br />
3. Not maintaining your fencing.<br />
4. Not maintaining your paint on your house/or mold on the siding.<br />
Pet Owners<br />
Please be mindful to keep all dogs on a leash when walking them, to keep<br />
the community safe. Also please be respectful of your neighbors and<br />
clean up after your dog.<br />
Homeowners<br />
Please DO NOT TAPE FLIERS of any kind to our metal fencing. It removes<br />
the paint when the tape is pulled off. Thus they we need to be painted<br />
before they start to rust.<br />

Neighborhood Watch Program<br />
Home repair scams often occur in daylight hours, in which a suspect will<br />
walk right into a resident’s home for the purpose of stealing valuables.<br />
Often the victimized homeowner is either in or near the home. The best<br />
way to keep these individuals from victimizing you is to simply keep<br />

your home locked, even if you are just working in the yard. Remember,<br />
anytime you are outside your home, you cannot possibly see every door<br />
that a would-be thief might enter.<br />
Traveling home improvement workers have been known to go doorto-door<br />
offering to pave or seal driveways, replace roofing or other<br />
unnecessary home repairs at a very cheap price. The criminal will request<br />
payment upfront and prefer cash, but may also accept a check. The<br />
perpetrators of this type of criminal behavior will often tell homeowners<br />
they have materials left over from a previous job and will give them a<br />
discount if they act now.<br />
It is recommended to check references and go through the Better Business<br />
Bureau (BBB) to determine the credibility of the company. Lastly, never<br />
pay for work in advance; always pay at the conclusion of the job.<br />

CFISD Brings Safety And<br />
Security To Forefront<br />
With <strong>2018</strong>-2019 Action Plan<br />
Following a summer of planning, the Cypress-Fairbanks ISD safety and<br />
security committee unveiled its <strong>2018</strong>-2019 Safety and Security Action<br />
Plan at the Board of Trustees committee-of-the-whole meeting on Aug.<br />
9 th . Comprised of representatives of the CFISD leadership team, the<br />
committee hosted a series of meetings throughout June and July to<br />
review current security initiatives that are already in place as well as<br />
explore what additional layers could be implemented for the district<br />
this year. Featuring roundtable discussions with experts as well as input<br />
from all campus principals and the Community Leadership Committee,<br />
the meetings resulted in an action plan focused on prevention of,<br />
identification and intervention of and response to potential security<br />
threats during a time when the nationwide focus is on school safety.<br />
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s School and Firearm Safety Action Plan, released<br />
on May 30 th , was used by the committee as a baseline to review school<br />
safety and implement recommended strategies.<br />
The following summary of the safety and security committee’s action<br />
plan can be found in more detail on the district website under the “Safety<br />
for All” block:<br />
Prevention<br />
The CFISD police department has increased its number of commissioned<br />
police officers from 86 in 2017 to 108 for <strong>2018</strong>-2019. The department will<br />
also implement three K-9 units trained in narcotics and nitrate detection.<br />
Two police officers will transition into mental health officer positions<br />
6<br />
to assist the guidance and counseling and psychological services<br />
departments in addressing mental health concerns on campuses.<br />
Safety and security upgrades funded by the 2014 Bond Program continue<br />
to roll out at campuses, including secured entry vestibules, bulletresistant<br />
glass, additional security cameras and emergency call stations.<br />
Panic buttons will be installed in all portable buildings in <strong>2018</strong>-2019.<br />
All students in grades 6-12 will be required to wear a student ID badge<br />
during the instructional day and will join elementary students in wearing<br />
the badges on board school buses. All school visitors will be distinguished<br />
by a visitor badge issued at check-in. Backpacks worn by secondary<br />
students on school property are required to be clear backpacks.<br />
Belongings carried inside or outside of the backpack are limited to no<br />
more than two non-transparent 6- by 9-inch purse(s) or similar bag(s).<br />
Approved extracurricular bags including instrument cases are permitted<br />
in the building but must be stored in respective areas during the<br />
instructional day. Visitors to Cy-Fair FCU and Pridgeon stadiums in <strong>2018</strong>-<br />
2019 will be required to limit bags to clear bags or a non-transparent 6-by-<br />
9-inch purse or similar bag. All campuses will implement procedures for<br />
limiting entry points for faculty, students and visitors. The district will<br />
also continue to explore the possibility of identifying exit-only doors and<br />
removing door handles on certain doors. Food deliveries for students will<br />
be prohibited by fast food delivery drivers.<br />
Identification and Intervention<br />
Campuses will continue to advertise the Cy-Fair Tipline for students, an<br />
internal and anonymous reporting system. A visible button will be added<br />
to each campus website for easy sharing with the CFPD and campus<br />
administration. The CFPD will continue to work with the Houston Regional<br />
Intelligence Service Center to identify potential threats on social media.<br />
<strong>September</strong> <strong>2018</strong> | <strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Grove</strong>
Two mental health intervention teams, each consisting of two licensed professional<br />
counselors, a licensed specialist in school psychology and a mental health<br />
school resource officer, have been developed to assist students, administration<br />
and parents in developing a positive and proactive plan for mental health. All<br />
teachers, counselors, district and campus administrators, transportation and<br />
community programs staff will undergo mental health assessment training prior<br />
to the start of the school year. All elementary and secondary counselors will be<br />
trained on completing threat assessment interviews.<br />
Response<br />
CFISD’s school safety and security committee will meet three times per<br />
year and provide updates and reports to the Board of Trustees twice a<br />
year. All campuses will continue to implement and practice emergency<br />
operations plans, based on a template provided by the Texas School<br />
Safety Center. All campus and district administrators will be trained in<br />
the Standard Response Protocol and Standard Reunification Method<br />
prior to the start of the school year. All staff members will receive active<br />
shooter training prior to the start of the school year, while all CFPD officers<br />
are required to complete active shooter trainings such as ALERRT and ERASE<br />
as well as crisis intervention training. A mental health crisis response team<br />
consisting of licensed behavior health professionals has been formed to<br />
respond during critical incidents. View the Safety and Security Action Plan<br />
presented during the Aug. 9 th Board of Trustees work session on the CFISD<br />
YouTube channel. For all safety- and security-related details in Cypress-<br />

Boy Scouts of America -<br />
<strong>Copper</strong>head District<br />
For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found<br />
in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant<br />
in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting<br />
helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership<br />
skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.<br />
10<br />
The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities<br />
that allow them to:<br />
• Try new things.<br />
• Provide service to others.<br />
• Build self-confidence.<br />
• Reinforce ethical standards.<br />
Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as<br />
individuals while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility<br />
and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made,<br />
peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made.<br />
Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting<br />
through the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which help<br />
our youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area<br />
Counsel - <strong>Copper</strong>head District which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5<br />
to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing<br />
units (boys and girls from 14 to 21). Our Units typically meet weekly.<br />
Many of our units are supported by the local Elementary Schools<br />
including: Birkes, Copeland, Duryea, Fiest, Hemmingway, Holmsley,<br />
Horne, Jowell, Lowery, Metcalf, Owens, Postma, Robinson, Sheridan,<br />
Tipps, Walker and Wilson.<br />
Other Community groups include: Autumn Creek Baptist Church,<br />
Beck and Masten Automotive, Cornerstone United Methodist Church,<br />
<strong>Copper</strong>field Church, Crossbridge Church, Cy-Fair Kiwanis Club, Deerfield<br />
Village HOA, LDS Bear Creek and <strong>Copper</strong>field Wards, Middlegate Village<br />

NAVIGATING UNEASY RELATIONS<br />
Figuring out how to handle strained relationships is hard. Emotions can<br />
become tumultuous. Opinions can harden. How are we supposed to<br />
live out our faith? Loving others can seem disconcerting, confusing and<br />
just plain difficult. Sometimes we can even forget our Christian calling,<br />
simply dismissing or degrading those whom we consider “other.” You<br />
know, . . . THOSE People, THAT Person. How can we better handle these<br />
difficulties? In this journey, we will gain new insights into the challenges of<br />
dealing with differences between people. Plus, 12 principles will emerge<br />
about loving God, others and self. Besides increasing self-awareness<br />
through assessments, questions and discussion, we will become more<br />
intentional in action.<br />
WHEN? EIGHT Thursday Evenings, 7-8:30 PM <strong>September</strong> 6-November<br />
1, <strong>2018</strong> and ONE Saturday Morning, 9 AM-Noon November 10, <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
COST: $20 per person (to cover cost of materials)<br />

GOOD NEIGHBOR DAY<br />
SEPTEMBER 28 TH<br />
Neighbors are an integral part of our social lives - whether at home or at<br />
work. Good Neighbor Day on <strong>September</strong> 28 th is an annual holiday that<br />
promotes neighborliness 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<br />
annual holiday was first proclaimed by President Jimmy Carter in 1978.<br />
Mrs. Becky Mattson from Lakeside, Montana came up with the idea of a<br />
national holiday recognizing the importance of good neighbors in 1971. In<br />
1978, U.S. President Jimmy Carter announced the creation of a national<br />
day aimed at raising public awareness that good neighbors help achieve<br />
human understanding and build strong, thriving communities. Since then,<br />
National Good Neighbor Day has been acknowledged by various levels<br />
of government and is celebrated every year. The holiday was originally<br />
celebrated on the fourth Sunday in <strong>September</strong>, but in 2003 its date was<br />
changed to <strong>September</strong> 28 th . On this day, Nextdoor.com, a social network<br />
for neighborhoods, announces the recipients of Nextdoor’s Good Neighbor<br />
Award. Everyone can nominate a neighbor or a group of neighbors<br />
by writing a short story about what they have done to help their local<br />
community and make it a better place. National Good Neighbor Day is the<br />
perfect occasion to honor the people who make significant contributions<br />
to creating safer neighborhoods and stronger communities across the<br />
United States.<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 wood. Light<br />
green leaves may signify lack of iron (chlorosis). Correct with iron cheleates.<br />
• Cut off old dead foliage on irises. Scratch in a little bone meal around the roots.<br />
• Prune roses to reshape and groom plants for fall growth. Follow up with a<br />
dose of fertilizer the first week of <strong>September</strong>.<br />
• Plants come out of summer rest and go crazy. Insect populations explode as<br />
we get into cooler temperatures. Diseases that have been dormant wake up.<br />
- Citrus, croton, avocado and mango are susceptible to spider mites and<br />
thrips. Discourage them with a strong jet of water from a hose directed to the<br />
undersides of the leaves.<br />
- Hibiscus, citrus, palms, gardenia and ixora are susceptible to scale and<br />
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 number<br />
of eggs that make it to Spring.<br />
• St. Augustine grass gets its fall fertilizer during <strong>September</strong>. Continue to mow<br />
at maximum height. You want to leave a lot of leaf surface to produce carbohydrate<br />
reserves for the winter.<br />
• Keep an eye out for sod webworms. First sign of them is grass that appears to<br />
stop growing. You need to get them early for biological controls to work. When<br />
the caterpillars are only 1/4 inch, Bacillus thuringiensis applications can slow<br />
them. Bt is a bacteria that works on the caterpillars’ digestive systems and<br />
makes them stop feeding. Do the application late in the day. The larvae feed<br />
at night and you want them to get nice fresh Bt.<br />
• When the heat and drought end, the weather could bring brown patch disease<br />
in the St. Augustine grass. Watch for yellowish spots if the nights drop into the<br />
60’s and days stay in the 80’s.<br />
• Get any pruning of hedges and such done now. You want the flush of new<br />
growth to be hardened-off before the end of October. Tree pruning should be<br />
put off until winter, when the trees are dormant.<br />
• Pre-emerge herbicide applications targeting annual bluegrass and the<br />
earlier-germinating winter broadleaf weeds needed to be put out starting in<br />
mid-August.<br />

You could make this on National Apple Dumpling Day <strong>September</strong> 17 th !<br />
INGREDIENTS:<br />
1 pastry for double-crust pie<br />
6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored<br />
1/2 cup butter<br />
3/4 cup brown sugar<br />
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon<br />
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg<br />
3 cups water<br />
2 cups white sugar<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />
DIRECTIONS:<br />
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).<br />
Butter a 9x13 inch pan.<br />
On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry into a large rectangle, about 24 by<br />

Bring up the two remaining corners and seal. Slightly pinch the dough at<br />
the sides to completely seal in the apple. Repeat with the remaining apples.<br />
Place in prepared baking dish.<br />
In a saucepan, combine water, white sugar, vanilla extract and reserved butter.<br />
Place over medium heat and bring to a boil in a large saucepan. Boil for 5<br />
minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Carefully pour over dumplings.<br />
