HOWDY NEIGHBOR! 

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

Thank you to those who have cleaned your bronze street number plate 

on your home exterior. PLEASE make sure your house number is visible 

from the street. You might need to lower the shrubs that are blocking the 

visibility of your house numbers. Or polish/clean the plate. This is very 

important because in the event an emergency vehicle needs to find you 

and can’t, it might be critical in time lost. 

HOA DUES ARE NOW PAST DUE 

If you haven’t paid your 2019 dues yet, please contact Inframark to make 

arrangements to do so. They are now accruing additional fees. 

We have an aging neighborhood with a lot of community space, which 

requires repair and sometimes replacement. Many of our common space 

areas are in need of replacement. Some of our major projects will be to 

replace the swing sets, add picnic tables and benches for enjoyment, 

enlarge the pool slide and various other projects. 

Homeowners Responsibility to keep 

Copper Village beautiful 

• To mow and edge your yard on a regular basis during the growing 

season. No grass should be growing onto the driveway, curb or sidewalk. 

• To kill or pull weeds growing in the expansion joints of your driveway, 

sidewalk or in your flower beds. 

• To prune and groom all shrubs and trees on your property. 

• To trim any tree branches that hang low over your sidewalk or into the 

street. 

• To add mulch around trees and in the flower beds at least once a year 

or whenever needed. (if the tree roots are showing, either apply mulch or 

dirt and new sod) 

• To remove mildew or mold from any brick or siding or concrete. 

• WE ARE COPPER VILLAGE PROUD! THANK YOU FOR DOING YOUR PART! 


RESIDENTS: 

It has come to our attention that many residents are leaving their 

grass clippings and shrub clippings out on the curb for days before the 

assigned trash pickup. Our trash days are on Monday and Thursday. 

Either change your scheduled yard mowing to coordinate with the trash 

days OR remove the grass and tree trimmings to the back of your fence 

or in your garage until the evening before trash pick-ups. It is a deed 

violation to leave your grass clippings or tree branches out days early. 

DON’T SWEEP OR BLOW GRASS CLIPPINGS INTO THE STREET GUTTERS. 

It clogs our drainage system.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION 

Homeowners - NOTE: If you have a manhole on your property that has 

major cracks or you feel is unsafe due to the uneven surface, this is what 

you need to know. If the sidewalk is sinking around SANITARY sewer

CFISD LEADERS VISIT PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYEES 

AT ‘MEET AND GREET’ CAREER FAIR 

CFISD administrators and leaders from its 91 campuses and numerous 

departments visited with approximately 1,300 prospective employees at 

the 2019 ‘Meet and Greet’ Career Fair, held April 24 th at the Berry Center. 

The fair offers district administrators opportunities to interact with 

prospective teachers and employees. Cypress-Fairbanks ISD is the thirdlargest 

district in Texas and 23 rd largest in the nation, making it one of the 

largest employers in northwest Harris County. 

Primary campuses were set up inside the arena, secondary campuses 

were located in the conference center and departments were split 

between the arena and atrium. Attendees formed lines near each table, 

with each then spending a few minutes with campus administrators or 

departments, distributing resumes and possibly setting up follow-up 

interaction. 

“The 2019 Career Fair was a huge success,” said Chairita Franklin, 

assistant superintendent for human resources. “The Career Fair was well 

attended by teacher and paraprofessional applicants who are interested 

in starting their professional journeys or transferring to our district. Many 

had one-on-one opportunities with our campus administrators through 

previously scheduled interviews or the meet-and-greet format. We are 

excited that once again, over 1,000 applicants are considering CFISD 

and we look forward to sourcing those applicants to find the best and 

brightest for our students.”

17TH ANNUAL PASS IN REVIEW SHOWCASES 

DISTRICT’S AFJROTC CADETS 

More than 1,000 cadets representing CFISD’s 12 comprehensive high 

schools and eight JROTC units displayed their discipline and uniformity 

at the district’s 17 th Annual Air Force Junior ROTC Pass in Review, held 

April 6 th at Cy-Fair FCU Stadium. 

• Practical Solutions 

• Efficient Timing 

• Friendly Professionals 

• Reasonable Prices 

The Pass in Review is a military tradition designed to display the readiness 

of troops and their units to a newly assigned commander. The event 

featured three reviewing officials: retired CFISD Educator Carolyn Spillane, 

who is the namesake for Spillane Middle School, artist Ken Pridgeon and 

Tech. Sgt. Joe Campbell, a Jersey Village High School aerospace science 

instructor who is set to retire after 18 years serving the school’s JROTC unit. 

“This is an outstanding opportunity for the public to actually see just a 

portion of what these cadets can do and what they show,” Campbell said. 

“In order to put something like this together, it takes times and dedication 

from the students. And it helps show that we’re not just about push-ups. 

Cypress Springs High School AFJROTC Unit TX-20016 served as the host 

school for the Pass in Review. The school’s unit is led by Lt. Col. Charles 

Pryor III and Chief Master Sgt. Michael Galifaro. Cypress Springs senior 

Solé Ibarra served as the commander of troops. 

Among the guests in attendance were family members of the cadets, 

Board of Trustees members and campus and district administrators.

Exchange Student HOSTING FAQs 

What does hosting mean? Hosting means you open your heart and 

home to a teenager from another country. You provide the same loving, 

caring environment for them as you do a member of your own family. 

What kinds of families are acceptable? We accept many types of 

families: single parent families, families with children of any age, childless 

families and families with grown children. 

What is the host family responsible for? The host family is responsible of 

providing three meals a day, registering the student in school, a separate 

bed and a quiet place to study. The STSF local LC will obtain the signed 

school acceptance form prior to the student’s arrive to the country. 

What happens if the student is ill or in an accident? Our students have 

their own medical insurance. Each student should have an ID card and 

claim forms before they arrive. STSF will help with the filing of claims. 

What about spending money? The student’s natural parents agree 

to send adequate spending money. This money should be enough for 

clothing, social activities, trips, school expenses and telephone calls to 

their home country. Ideally, students will already have a bank account 

when they come over that they can access with an ATM card. Host Families 

can also assist their students in setting up savings or teen account. 

Are we supposed to show them America? Trips are organized and 

available to the students through their Regional Directors or through 

an STSF approved travel organization. Keep in mind that this is an 

academic program with opportunities for travel for students who are 

meeting academic standards. RDs also sponsor trips for students. More 

information about these trips will be given throughout the year. 

What is expected of the exchange student? Our students are here on 

an academic program. This means, they must attend all of their classes, 

participate in class and maintain at least a C or above in each class. The 

student has an orientation that explains the rules they agree to abide by. These 

include obeying all local, state and federal laws. They may be immediately 

dismissed from the program and sent home for violation of these laws. They 

are expected to follow host family rules concerning family responsibilities 

such as chores. They must also obey curfews established by the host family. 

What is the length of stay? Most of our students arrive in August for a 

10 month academic stay. They must return to their home country 7 to 10 

days after the last day of school. These are a few students who only come 

for a semester. Some arrive in January and stay until December. How 

do you match students to Host Families? We try to find students whose 

hobbies and interest match the family members. We look for common 

interest in the arts, sports and religious involvement. The host Family 

may request a student from a country they have special interest in. We 

try and match as much as possible to ensure a successful experience. 

Are Host Families paid to host? No, but host families receive a $50 

tax deduction (Charitable Contribution) per month for each month the 

students live with you. 

What are the rewards of hosting? Your family gains a new family 

member. The relationship that evolves throughout your year as a host 

parent will last a lifetime. The focus of this program is to have host 

families and students learn from each other.

4th ANNUAL CORPORATE 

CHALLENGE BRINGS TEAM- 

BUILDING FIELD DAY TO CY-FAIR 

The 2019 Cy-Fair Houston Chamber of Commerce Corporate Challenge, 

underwritten by Houston Methodist Willowbrook Hospital, brought together 

Cy-Fair businesses for a day of team building, networking and fun. The day 

included five events: The Bucket Challenge, The Chamber Challenge (3-legged 

race), Climb to the Top (climbing relay race), the Corporate Combine football 

relay challenge and “Networking” (seated volleyball challenge). 

It was a beautiful day that kicked off with warm-up exercises and 

stretching guided by Lea Mesa of Shaka Power Yoga. The teams were 

then given their challenge rotations for the day and they were off to 

compete against each other in the five challenges set up on the green 

space and beach outside the Lakehouse at Towne Lake. The participants 

then enjoyed lunch from the Backyard Grill and Boar’d to Death food 

trucks while the scores were calculated for the teams and the winners 

determined. Awards were presented to the first, second and third place 

teams. The winning team will receive bragging rights until the next year’s 

challenge, which will allow marketing exposure for that business or team 

for the entire year. 

This year’s champions are the team from McCall Gibson Swedlund 

Barfoot, PLLC. They are our first repeat winners. Their team took the 

award for first place at the 2017 Corporate Challenge. Second place was 

awarded to the team from VillaSport Athletic Club & Spa. The team that 

finished in third place was one of two from INSite Architecture, Inc. 

Houston Methodist Willowbrook Hospital is the event underwriter. 

Additional sponsors to date include Memorial Hermann Cypress Hospital, 

Caldwell Companies, JPL Entertainment, Cypress Photo Camper, 

Jumping Fiesta Rentals and Northwest Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram. Water 

was provided for the participants and volunteers by Kroger Marketplace 

at Towne Lake. 

Sponsorship opportunities and teams are now available for next year. For 

more information, email Eric@cyfairchamber.com or call the Chamber 

office at 281-373-1390.

NATIONAL PTSD AWARENESS DAY 

National PTSD Awareness Day is observed annually on June 27 th . This 

is a day to recognize the effects post-traumatic stress has on the lives of 

those affected by it. 

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder has a profound effect on the lives of those 

who suffer from it. The statistics alone are staggering, but can only tell a 

portion of the story. The trauma and anxiety associated with PTSD is a 

constant burden, inseparable from the sufferer. It was once a condition 

that was attributed only to returning combat veterans, but more and 

more the condition is diagnosed in those who have experienced violent 

crime or lived through catastrophic events. According to PTSD United, 

20% of adults in the United States who have experienced a traumatic 

event suffer from PTSD. 

The United States Senate established PTSD Awareness Day in 2010 

following then-Sen. Kent Conrad’s efforts to designate a day of 

awareness as a tribute to Army Staff Sgt. Joe Biel of the North Dakota 

National Guard, Davison said. Biel suffered from PTSD and took his life 

in April 2007 after returning to North Dakota following his second tour of 

duty in the Iraq War. Biel’s birthday, June 27 th , was chosen to mark PTSD 

Awareness Day and honor his memory. 

Reach out to someone you know who suffers from PTSD. Let them know 

you care and are there to help. Source: https://nationaldaycalendar.com

CFISD Bond Referendum passes with 

majority voter support 

Registered voters in Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District 

approved a $1.762 billion bond referendum on May 4, 2019. The school 

district drew a majority vote from the community, with the uncanvassed 

count at 9,848 votes cast FOR and 4,144 votes cast AGAINST the 

referendum. The approval rating for the bond referendum was 70.38 

percent. Early voting accounted for 7,848 votes or 56.09 percent, of the 

total votes cast. The referendum is for: 

• safety and security enhancements to all campuses; 

• transportation, including a new northwest center and additional buses 

to accommodate student growth; 

• new facilities to accommodate student growth; 

• technology upgrades to district infrastructure and classroom 

technology and 

• renovations and additions to protect the district’s instructional and 

support facilities. 

“Cypress-Fairbanks community members continue to be vocal in supporting 

public education for their children and today, they spoke at the polls,” said Dr. 

Mark Henry, superintendent of schools. “I want to give a heartfelt thank you 

to the long-range planning committee that spent dozens of hours planning 

for the district’s future and district staff and community members who led 

and facilitated public bond presentations. Our community’s commitment 

to a quality public education was evident with the approval of this bond, 

which will impact all CFISD students for years to come.” The maximum 

potential increase on the Interest and Sinking (I&S) Tax rate or debt service 

tax rate resulting from the passage of the bond referendum is projected to be 

$0.03 over a seven-year period. This equates to $40.50 per year for a home 

valued at $200,000. There will be no tax increase for individuals who are 65 

years of age or older or who are disabled and who qualify for an over-65 

homestead exemption according to Texas Property Tax Code Section 11.26. 

The committee presented its recommendation for a $1,762,000,000 bond 

package to the Board of Trustees in February and the Board unanimously 

called for a bond election during a regularly scheduled meeting on Feb. 11 th . 

JUNE IS NATIONAL 

CAMPING MONTH 

National Camping Month in June is an excellent time to pack up your gear 

and experience nature. Whether you like roughing it or prefer to have a 

few modern conveniences when heading out to the trail, it’s important to 

keep a few things in mind: 

1. Make sure you have plenty of fresh water or a fresh water source. 

2. Take a first aid kit and that it is stocked. 

3. Pack waterproof matches. 

4. Take non-perishable food such as granola bars, jerky, peanut butter, 

chocolate bars and dried fruits, especially if you are not taking a cooler. 

5. Pack fruits, vegetables and meats separately and keep chilled in a 

cooler. 

6. Include sunblock, even for cloudy days. 

7. Rain gear, jackets and blankets are necessary for cooler weather. 

Around the country, there are a variety of campsites available. The more 

modern campsite includes showers and recreational facilities. These 

often include water hookups and parking pads for RVs and campers and 

cabins to rent as well as more primitive sites with no electrical hookups 

designed for tent usage. Other parks only allow primitive camping and 

require everything you pack into the park to be packed out. So, seriously 

consider your needs if you are hiking into the park for your stay. These 

are not for the glampers.

a wallaby, a toucan, a lemur and a hedgehog. Everyone really enjoyed 

that.”

Oven Roasted Asparagus 

INGREDIENTS: 

1 bunch thin asparagus spears, trimmed 

3 tablespoons olive oil 

1 1/2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese 

1 clove garlic, minced 

1 teaspoon sea salt 

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 

1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional) 

Garden Tips For June 

DIRECTIONS: 

Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place the asparagus 

into a mixing bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss to coat the spears, 

then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt and pepper. Arrange the 

asparagus onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated 

oven until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes depending on thickness. Sprinkle 

with lemon juice just before serving.

Lawns 

• Apply iron sulfate or chelete to St. Augustine grass lawns. 

• Mow St. Augustine to a 2-inch height now to protect roots from the sun. 

Never cut off more than a third of the leaf. 

• Continue treatment of lawns for chinch bug. As the temperature hits 80 

degrees, chinch bugs begin to reproduce in the hottest and driest part 

of the lawn, usually next to cement. Use diazinon or dursban granules. 

Flowers 

• Overwatered hibiscus, purslane and bougainvillea won’t bloom. 

• Keep flowers pinched off of coleus and caladiums to encourage more of 

the beautiful foliage. 

• Plants to set: Acalpha, Ageratum, Alternathera, Aspidistra, Artemisia, 

Balsam, Begonia, Chrysanthemum, Cockscomb, Coleus, Croton, 

Dusty Miller, Feverfew, Gaillardia, Geranium, Marigold, Petunia, Pinks, 

Portulaca, Salvia-red, Shrimp Plant, Torenia, Verbena and Vinca. 

Vegetables 

• A strong blast of water in the morning rids plants of most bugs for the 

rest of the day. 

• Vegetables to plant: Cantaloupe, Sweet Corn, Cucumber, Eggplant 

sets, Okra, Black Peas, Pepper Sets, Summer Squash and Sweet Potato. 

Shrubs 

• Watch Camellias and Azaleas, they’re setting their blooms now for next 

season. So give them a good mulch and plenty of water. Mulch well with 

oak leaves and/or pine needles to keep soil acidic. 

Benefits of Mulching: Mulching (organic or inorganic) is a layer of 

material on the surface of the soil around the plant. Mulches conserve 

water by reducing evaporation, insulates the soil and protects it from the 

drying wind and hot sun. Mulches break the force of rain and irrigation 

water and tend to prevent erosion, soil compaction, and crusting. Lastly, 

a 2-3 inch layer of mulch will almost eliminate weed problems.
