<strong>September</strong> <strong>2018</strong> | <strong>Lone</strong> <strong>Oak</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 />

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.<br />

Backpacks worn by secondary students on school property are required<br />

to be clear backpacks. Belongings carried inside or outside of the<br />

backpack are limited to no more than two non-transparent 6- by 9-inch<br />

purse(s) or similar bag(s). Approved extracurricular bags including<br />

instrument cases are permitted in the building but must be stored in<br />

respective areas during the instructional day. Visitors to Cy-Fair FCU and<br />

Pridgeon stadiums in <strong>2018</strong>-2019 will be required to limit bags to clear<br />

bags or a non-transparent 6-by-9-inch purse or similar bag.<br />

All campuses will implement procedures for limiting entry points for<br />

faculty, students and visitors. The district will also continue to explore<br />

the possibility of identifying exit-only doors and removing door handles<br />

on certain doors. Food deliveries for students will be prohibited by fast<br />

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 />

<strong>September</strong> <strong>2018</strong> | <strong>Lone</strong> <strong>Oak</strong>


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 />

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 year.<br />

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.<br />

All staff members will receive active shooter training prior to the start of the<br />

school year, while all CFPD officers are required to complete active shooter<br />

trainings such as ALERRT and ERASE as well as crisis intervention training.<br />

A mental health crisis response team consisting of licensed behavior health<br />

professionals has been formed to respond during critical incidents.<br />

View the Safety and Security Action Plan presented during the Aug. 9 th Board<br />

of Trustees work session on the CFISD YouTube channel. For all safety- and<br />

Boy Scouts of America -<br />

Copperhead 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 - Copperhead 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 />

Copperfield Church, Crossbridge Church, Cy-Fair Kiwanis Club, Deerfield<br />

Village HOA, LDS Bear Creek and Copperfield Wards, Middlegate Village<br />

HOA, Peace Community Church, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church<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 live<br />

out our faith? Loving others can seem disconcerting, confusing and just<br />

plain difficult. Sometimes we can even forget our Christian calling, simply<br />

dismissing or degrading those whom we consider “other.” You know, . . .<br />

THOSE People, THAT Person. How can we better handle these difficulties?<br />

In this journey, we will gain new insights into the challenges of dealing<br />

with differences between people. Plus, 12 principles will emerge about<br />

loving God, others and self. Besides increasing self-awareness through<br />

assessments, questions and discussion, we will become more intentional<br />

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 />

HOW DO I SIGN UP? Go to www.messiahlc.org/events<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 />

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided<br />

3 cloves garlic, minced<br />

1 onion, diced<br />

3 carrots, peeled and diced<br />

2 stalks celery, diced<br />

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme<br />

8 cups chicken stock<br />

2 bay leaves<br />

1 sprig rosemary<br />

3 cups baby spinach, chopped<br />

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice<br />

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves<br />

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste<br />

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan<br />

For the chicken meatballs<br />

1/2 pound ground chicken<br />

1/2 pound chicken sausage, casing removed<br />

1/3 cup Panko<br />

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan<br />

1 large egg<br />

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano<br />

1/2 teaspoon dried basil<br />

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste<br />

Directions:<br />

In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, chicken sausage, Panko,<br />

with salt and pepper, to taste. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands,<br />

stir until well combined. Roll the mixture into 3/4-to-1-inch meatballs,<br />

forming about 25-30 meatballs.<br />

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over<br />

medium heat. Add meatballs, in batches, and cook until all sides<br />

are browned, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined<br />

plate; set aside.<br />

• Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the stockpot. Add garlic,<br />

onion, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender,<br />

about 3-4 minutes. Stir in thyme until fragrant, about 1 minute.<br />

• Whisk in chicken stock and bay leaves; bring to a boil. Stir in acini di<br />

pepe, rosemary and meatballs; reduce heat and simmer until pasta<br />

is tender and meatballs are cooked through, about 9-12 minutes.<br />

• Stir in spinach, lemon juice and parsley until spinach has wilted,<br />

about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.<br />

• Serve immediately, garnished with Parmesan, if desired.<br />

APPLE DUMPLING<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 />

16 inches. Cut into 6 square pieces. Place an apple on each pastry square<br />

with the cored opening facing upward. Cut butter into 8 pieces. Place 1<br />

piece of butter in the opening of each apple; reserve remaining butter for<br />

sauce. Divide brown sugar between apples, poking some inside each cored<br />

opening and the rest around the base of each apple. Sprinkle cinnamon and<br />

nutmeg over the apples.<br />

With slightly wet fingertips, bring one corner of pastry square up to the top<br />

of the apple, then bring the opposite corner to the top and press together.<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 />

Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Place each apple dumpling in<br />

a dessert bowl and spoon some sauce over the top.<br />
