COPPER LAKES TENNIS COURTS<br />
Many residents are already enjoying the refurbished tennis courts. This<br />
summer, we replaced the chain link fence and resurfaced the courts.<br />
New nets were purchased and the light posts were painted. We also<br />
plan to install new benches. If you have not yet seen or enjoyed them,<br />
check them out. Remember, the courts are for <strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> residents<br />
and guests. They must be relinquished for scheduled league matches of<br />
<strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> teams. To preserve them for everyone, it is important that<br />
the courts be used for tennis only. They are not for soccer, skateboards,<br />
skates, etc. Access is with the same card you use for the pools.<br />
Security Report - <strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong><br />
To keep everyone in <strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> better informed about the kinds<br />
of incidences occurring on your street or near your homes, we are<br />
recommending our <strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> neighbors take advantage of the<br />
following resources:<br />
www.crimereports.com - Zoom-in to <strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> to see what is<br />
happening in our neighborhood. The incidences are recorded by the<br />
HCSO. To get the most out of the site, it’s a good idea to register - after<br />
which you will be able to open the website starting in <strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> and<br />
have access to historical data as well. Take some time to familiarize<br />
yourself with all of the features on the website. It’s a valuable asset.<br />
www.iwatchharriscounty.com - Download this smart phone app and<br />
start reporting incidences directly to the HCSO without having to wait in<br />
line on the HCSO non-emergency hot line 713-221-6000.<br />
713-221-6000 - This is the non-emergency HCSO phone number for<br />
reporting suspicious activity. Please report everything every time you<br />
see it. This will give the HCSO statistical trends for <strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong>, so they<br />
can adjust their patrol accordingly.<br />
911 - Use this number anytime you feel threatened or in danger or you<br />
think someone else might be in danger.<br />
copperlakes.nextdoor.com - This free website is for <strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong><br />
residents to stay informed about incidences occurring in our<br />
neighborhood - as well as the neighborhoods adjacent to <strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong>.<br />
www.facebook.com/groups/231835823536719 - This <strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong><br />

<strong>July</strong> <strong>2019</strong> | <strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong>
Facebook page is another informative place to stay in contact with your<br />
neighbors and discuss issues relevant to <strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong>.<br />
Please make a note of all house addresses around your home - even the<br />
ones behind your backyard. And create a map of these addresses. This is<br />
very important because if you ever need to call 911, the Dispatcher must<br />
have a real street address for the incident.<br />

Nutrition services team<br />
offers free summer meals<br />
Starting this summer, CFISD’s nutrition services department will offer children<br />
18 and younger the healthy Seamless Summer Option (SSO) breakfasts and<br />
lunches at no cost to the child. “The SSO program is a great way for us to<br />
provide access to meals for our students during the summer months,” said<br />
Darin Crawford, director of nutrition services. “Kids need good nutrition to<br />
fuel their summer activities and we are thrilled to be able to continue to offer<br />
school meals during the long summer break.” SSO is a U.S. Department of<br />
Agriculture nutrition program and is administered by the Texas Department<br />
of Agriculture. The meals offered through SSO give children who rely on<br />
school meals during the academic year a good source of nutrition during<br />
the long summer vacation. Summer meals help children return to school in<br />
the fall ready to thrive. All sites are open Monday-Thursday only. For a full<br />
list of sites, dates and times, visit the district website at: www.cfisd.net/en/<br />

More than 8,000 CFISD Class of<br />
<strong>2019</strong> graduates earn diplomas<br />
Eleven Cypress-Fairbanks ISD high schools held graduation<br />
ceremonies at the Berry Center May 29-June 1, <strong>2019</strong> producing 8,270<br />
graduates for the Class of <strong>2019</strong>. Each ceremony included remarks and<br />
addresses by school principals and selected student representatives<br />
from each graduating class. Senior choir ensemble members sang<br />
the national anthem and Air Force Junior ROTC members presented<br />
the colors prior to each ceremony. While the Berry Center had 66,967<br />
attendees for the commencement exercises, thousands of others<br />
watched online via Livestream and Facebook Live. Both platforms<br />
generated nearly 46,000 views. Livestream had 19,214 views and<br />
Facebook Live had 26,878 views across all 11 ceremonies. Jersey<br />
Village High School’s ceremony had the most views, with nearly 8,000<br />
across both platforms. The 2018-<strong>2019</strong> school year marked the 12 th<br />

Berry Center employees donate more than 1,000 items to food pantry<br />
Thirty-one Berry Center staff members, along with the community engagement department, donated approximately 1,200 non-perishable food items<br />
to the CFISD Food Pantry on June 4 th . After hearing the pantry was opening for the summer, Beth Wade, director of the Berry Center, challenged her<br />
employees to donate $15 each to help buy food items.<br />
Wade said she was very pleased with the response but was impressed with one staff member in particular. “Terri Tyler on our building service crew<br />
told her friends and neighbors about what we were doing and was able to collect $210,” Wade said.<br />
The donations were delivered to the CFISD Food Pantry, located at Campbell Middle School and will benefit families in the Cypress-Fairbanks ISD<br />
community.<br />

Langham Creek student artist wins State VASE Gold Seal Award<br />
Langham Creek High School senior Olivia Hoppe won a Gold Seal Medallion in the State Visual Arts Scholastic Event (VASE), held April 26 th -27 th in San<br />
Marcos. In all, 46 CFISD student artists qualified for the state competition, which is the culminating event for art students, teachers and administrators<br />
in Texas. Competition begins at regional events in February, with artists interviewed and their works juried by certified Texas Art Education Association<br />
(TAEA) jurors.<br />
A Rating V equals distinguished work and a Rating IV equals exemplary work, with both qualifying the student artist to the VASE Area Event. Selected<br />
pieces are then chosen for the state competition, with artwork assessed by jurors from across the United States. At the State VASE Event, CFISD<br />
students received 29 state medals, led by Hoppe’s Gold Seal Medallion, which is the event’s highest honor and is awarded to those students who<br />
received a Rating V. In addition to the award, Hoppe’s piece will join other distinguished works of art in various exhibitions across Texas. It culminates<br />
with the Gold Seal Exhibition at the annual TAEA Conference, to be held in November in Galveston.<br />

again and the folks at St. Aidan’s have another great program planned.<br />

Recipes & Gardening Tips<br />
Freezer Caramel Drizzle Pie<br />
You could make this on National Junk Food Day <strong>July</strong> 21st!<br />
INGREDIENTS:<br />
2 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crusts<br />
6 tablespoons butter<br />
1 (7 ounce) package shredded coconut<br />
1 cup chopped pecans<br />
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk<br />

Simple Creme Brulee<br />
You could make this on<br />
National Crème Brulee Day <strong>July</strong> 27th!<br />
INGREDIENTS:<br />
3 tablespoons white sugar<br />
1 cup heavy cream<br />
3 egg yolks<br />
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />
2 tablespoons white sugar, divided<br />
DIRECTIONS:<br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Whisk 3 tablespoons<br />
sugar and cream in a microwave-safe bowl until well combined; heat<br />
the mixture in microwave until warm, 1 to 2 minutes and whisk again<br />
to dissolve sugar. Whisk in egg yolks and vanilla extract until smooth.<br />
Pour cream mixture into 2 ramekins. Set ramekins into a roasting<br />
pan and pour in enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of<br />
the ramekins. Bake in the preheated oven until creme desserts are<br />
set but still slightly jiggly when shaken, about 50 minutes. Remove<br />
ramekins from hot water and chill in refrigerator until cold, at least<br />
2 hours. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly over the top of each<br />
dessert. Use a kitchen torch to lightly toast and melt the sugar<br />
topping until brown and bubbly, about 30 seconds. Let the sugar<br />
topping cool before serving. To serve, use a spoon to crack the crisp<br />
sugar open to reveal the creamy dessert underneath. Source: http://<br />

Garden Tips<br />
For <strong>July</strong><br />
• Plant fall flowering annuals where your<br />
spring annuals have bloomed out. Set<br />
our seeds like zinnia, marigold, cosmos,<br />
petunia and portulaca so you’ll have color<br />
until frost. Don’t let seedlings dry out.<br />
• In summer, prune roses to keep them<br />
in shape. Continue black spot and insect<br />
treatments. Water 2” once per week.<br />
• Remove spent crepe myrtle flowers to<br />
prolong bloom production.<br />
• Weeds rob plants of valuable water,<br />
nutrients--remove them.<br />
• Great sun/heat-lovers include coral<br />
honeysuckle, coreopsis, lantana,<br />
oleanders and hamelia.<br />
• Fertilize flowers lightly, if at all; too hot<br />
for heavy feedings.<br />
• Water your lawn longer but less frequent.<br />
Deep water of about 2 - 3” per week forces<br />
plant roots to grow down, instead of<br />
sideways into sunbaked upper soil levels.<br />
Use a bowl in your yard to measure during<br />
waterings.<br />
