Katy Chamber B2B Expo Hits the
Mark for Business
‘Unique opportunity,’ ‘educational,’ ‘great networking event,’ ‘fun,’ ‘wellorganized,’
‘a success,’ ‘informative’… not a bad list of descriptions for
any event! And, yet, those were some of the comments from participants
about the first Katy Area Chamber of Commerce Business to Business
(B2B) Expo, an event that featured 43 exhibitors and 200 attendees.
Thanks to its success, the Katy Chamber’s B2B Expo probably will land on
the radar for many businesses looking to grow, network and learn about
Katy area businesses. The B2B Expo was held May 16 th at the Wyndham
Houston West - Energy Corridor and organized by Chamber Board of
Directors Margaret Laney and Cristy Fontanilla. The expo included an array
of companies, products and services such as lending facilities, hospitals,
jewelers, the Katy YMCAs, internet companies, graphic designers, storage
facilities, marketers, restaurants, higher education, non-profits and many
more. Attendees could visit business exhibits to network, make connections
and learn how the products/services can assist their own businesses.
The event also featured an information-packed luncheon that provided
valuable intelligence on access to capital issues (provided by the US Small
Business Association) and procurement/purchasing tips from a panel featuring
some the area’s largest employers: Katy ISD, BP, Houston Community College
and Houston Methodist West Hospital. All told, the four-hour B2B Expo/
luncheon seemed to provide the right balance of networking and information.
For Information about the Katy Area Chamber of Commerce and its B2B
Expo, contact Matthew Ferraro, President/CEO, at 281-391-5289.

Gardening Tips
Garden Tips
For August
• Time now to make plans for fall landscaping projects.
• Clean up flowerbeds of fallen foliage, yellowed leaves
and dead wood. Light green leaves may signify lack of
iron (chlorosis). Correct with iron cheleates.
• Cut off old dead foliage on irises. Scratch in a little
bone meal around the roots.
• Prune roses to reshape and groom plants for fall
growth.
• Wait until November to plant petunias and pansies.
• Chinch bug damage is obvious now. You will have
areas of thin and/or dead turf where they weren’t
brought under control. There is a new generation going
now. This batch causes the most damage. Use Dursban
to stop the damage.
• Until the weather gets back to the 80’s, St. Augustine
grass grows slowly. If you fill in with sod, don’t expect a
fast turnaround. The sod may look like it’s not growing
while it puts down roots. You will need to water the
new sod often and deeply to get it started but this also
creates a disease environment. Water early so the sun
can dry the turf.
• Now is a good time to work new beds. Till them up,
add organic material, mix it in, then let them cure for
a month or so. Add in any amendments like micronutrients.
Keep the beds moist so the microorganisms
have a favorable environment.

HOW PARENTS CAN PREPARE
FOR BACK TO SCHOOL TIME
By: Janelle Cox
Back to school time is always a big transition, not only for children but
for parents.
While children are filled with excitement and first-day jitters, parents are
filled with thoughts of “Am I prepared enough?” To help eliminate these
thoughts and help you and your child prepare for the new school year,
all you need is a little organization and forethought. Here are 10 back
to school tips to kick-start the new year and get you prepared for a fresh
start.
1. Get back into your sleep routine. To help eradicate those stressful
school mornings, set up a regular bedtime and morning time routine to
help prepare your child for school. Begin your usual school sleep routine
about a week or so before school starts.
2. Shop for school supplies together. To get your child excited about
starting a new grade, shop for supplies together. Allow them to pick out
their own backpack, lunchbox, etc. This is a great way to give them a little
bit of responsibility too!
3. Re-establish school routines. Have your child practice getting back
into the rhythm of their daily school routine. You can do this by having
them wake up at the same time every day and eat around the same time
they would at school. About a week or so before school starts, plan a
few outside activities where your child will have to leave and come home
around the same time they would if they were in school. This will help
them be rested and ready for the big day.
4. Set up a homework station. Sit down with your child and together
designate a time and place where he can do his homework each day. This
can be somewhere quiet like in the den or even in the kitchen while you
are preparing dinner. Make sure to choose a time where you are available
in case your child needs your help.
5. Prepare for the unexpected. Working parents know that it can be
difficult to find a sitter when your child is sick. Before school even begins,
it’s a good idea to have a sitter already lined up in case you get that phone
call home from the nurse saying your child is ill.
6. Make an after-school game plan. Make a plan for where your child will
go after school lets out for the day. Depending upon the age of your child,
figure out if they will go to a neighbor’s house, an afterschool program
or be allowed to stay home by themselves. This will help eliminate any
confusion during the first few weeks.
7. Turn off the TV and video games. For a lot of children summertime is
filled with endless video games and TV programs. Children are usually
in shock when they begin school and realize that six hours of their day
is going to spent learning and not playing games and watching TV. Ease
your child into the learning process by turning off the electrics and
encouraging them to read or play quietly.
8. Review school material and information. For most parents, schools
send home a packet with a ton of information regarding their child’s
new teacher, important dates to remember, emergency forms and
transportation routines. Make sure that you read through this information
carefully and mark down all important dates on your calendar.
9. Get organized. The best way to prepare for back to school time is to
be organized. With school comes a massive amount of paperwork,
which can consume your household. Designate a spot in your house
for homework, permission slips and any other school-related papers.
This can help eliminate all of that paper clutter and make your life less
stressful.
10. Get your child’s yearly checkup. School and germs go hand in hand,
so it’s best to get your child’s yearly checkup before school even starts.
Get any required vaccinations and ask your pediatrician the best ways
your child can stay healthy throughout the school year.
Through preparation and organization, you can ensure that your child
will have a smooth transition to the start of the new school year. By doing
so, you and your child can enjoy the rest of your summer break.

IT’S SCHOOL TIME AGAIN!
You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is
over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school
because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends and maybe even
a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little
while. Let’s find out more about going back to school.
Most teachers kick off the school year by introducing themselves and
talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give
students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the
class. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over
classroom rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Pay close
attention so you’ll know if you need to raise your hand to ask a question
and what the rules are about visiting the restroom.
You might already know a lot of kids in your classes on the first day.
But it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you
know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be
glad you did and so will your new friend! Sixth grade often signals a move
to middle school or junior high, where you’ll find lockers and maybe a
homeroom. This is just what it sounds like a classroom you’ll go to each
morning, kind of like your home in the school. In middle school, you
might move from classroom to classroom for each subject. Your teachers
know that this is a big change from elementary school and will help you
adjust. Most teachers let you pick your own seat on the first day, but by
the second or third morning, they’ll have mapped out a seating plan.
At first, it’s a good idea to write down where your seat is in your notebook
so you don’t forget. Seeing friends you haven’t seen in a while can
make the first day a good one. You also can make the day feel special
by wearing an outfit you like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on vacation
or your new sneakers put a spring in your step. If you wear a uniform,
you might wear a favorite watch, a new hair band or a piece of jewelry
to show your personal style. It can make you feel good to be prepared
and have all the supplies you need. Some schools distribute supply lists
before the year begins, so you can come stocked up on pencils, folders
and whatever else you’ll be needing. Once you’ve covered the basics,
you might tuck an extra few dollars in your backpack for an emergency
(like forgetting your lunch money). Or maybe you’d like to bring along a
book or magazine to read while you’re on the bus. Whatever you put in
your backpack, make sure you pack it the night before. This prevents the
morning panic when you can’t find your homework or lunch box.
Speaking of lunch, that’s something else that can help you feel good at school
whether it’s the first day or the 100 th day. Help your parents pack it the night
before if you don’t like what’s on the menu at the cafeteria. Try to include a
variety of foods in your packed lunch, especially fruits and vegetables.
The first day of school is your first chance to find your way around a new
school or learn the pathways to new classes in your old school. It’s a lot to
learn in one day, so don’t be surprised if you need a reminder or two. It might
help to write a few notes to yourself, so you’ll remember the important stuff,
like your locker combination and that lunch starts at 11:43 AM, not 12:10
PM. Before you know it, your fingers will fly as you open your locker and you
won’t have to check your notes to know what time lunch starts! What if you
hate school by the end of day one? Teachers recommend giving things some
time to sort themselves out once you know your way around the building
and get adjusted to the new routine, you’ll probably feel better. If those
feelings don’t fade, talk to your mom, dad, teacher or school counselor.
Here are a few final tips for a fantastic school year:
• Get enough sleep.
• Eat a healthy breakfast.
• Try your best.
• Use good work habits, like writing down your assignments and turning
in your homework on time.
• Take your time with school work. If you don’t understand something,
ask the teacher.
• Keep a sense of humor. One teacher we know shows his new students
a picture of himself graduating high school a grinning ape in a red
graduation cap and gown. This usually makes the kids laugh and it’s
a good way to remind them that school is fun! Questions or feedback

BACK TO SCHOOL SAFETY CHECKLIST
As summer draws to a close and children start heading back to school,
family life can get pretty hectic. It’s important to remember - and share
with your children - some key tips that will help keep them safe and
healthy throughout the school year.
Getting to School
Whether children walk, ride their bicycle or take the bus to school, it is
vitally important that they and the motorists around them - take proper
safety precautions.
Walkers
Walk on the sidewalk; if there is no sidewalk and you must walk in the
street, walk facing traffic
Before crossing the street, stop and look left, right and left again to see
if cars are coming
Never dart out in front of a parked car
Parents: Practice walking to school with your child, crossing streets at
crosswalks when available
Never walk while texting or talking on the phone
Do not walk while using headphones
Bike Riders
Always wear a helmet that is fitted and secured properly
Children need to know the rules of the road: Ride single file on the right
side of the road, come to a complete stop before crossing the street and
walk the bike across
Watch for opening car doors and other hazards
Use hand signals when turning
Wear bright-colored clothing
Bus Riders
Teach children the proper way to get on and off the bus
Line up 6 feet away from the curb as the bus approaches
If seat belts are available, buckle up
Wait for the bus to stop completely before standing
Do not cross in front of the bus if possible or walk at least 10 feet ahead
until you can see the other drivers
Drivers, Share the Road
Don’t block crosswalks
Yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and take extra care in school zones
Never pass a vehicle stopped for pedestrians
Never pass a bus loading or unloading children
The area 10 feet around a school bus is the most dangerous for children;
stop far enough back to allow them to safely enter and exit the bus
Teen Drivers
Teens crash most often because they are inexperienced. They struggle
judging gaps in traffic, driving the right speed for conditions and turning
safely, among other things. As your teen becomes a new driver, learn
more about what you can do as a parent to keep them safe.
