TEXAS<br />

NATIONAL COURTESY MONTH<br />

It takes little effort to extend kindness. The entire month of <strong>September</strong><br />

gives ample opportunity to practice being kind. It’s National Courtesy<br />

Month! The word courteous comes from the Middle English word<br />

‘kindness,’ which means ‘noble deeds’ or ‘courtesy.’ One of the greatest<br />

novelists in the English Language, Henry James, once said: “Three things<br />

in human life are important: The first is to be kind; the second is to be<br />

kind; the third is to be kind.” So, what does it mean to be courteous?<br />

Courtesy can mean several things to different people. To some, being<br />

courteous means to be helpful. To others, being courteous means to be<br />

polite and having good manners. Courtesy can be words spoken or an<br />

action towards someone. Courtesy is about manners and respect. How<br />

you choose to show someone courtesy is entirely up to you! A single<br />

kind word keeps one warm for three winters - Chinese Proverb Courtesy<br />

should never have limits for people you know. Showing a stranger<br />

common courtesy could be the defining factor of their day. Oftentimes, a<br />

small gesture, such as a compliment, can make a person feel appreciated.<br />

When people are considerate to one another, a positive effect happens.<br />

Moods improve and smiles are easily found. Starting your day with a<br />

polite demeanor will have a ripple effect for the people you encounter!<br />

There are so many ways to show kindness to people through courtesy.<br />

Hold the door open for the people behind you! Mow your elderly<br />

neighbor’s lawn! Compliment that shy person you see every day on the<br />

bus! Above all, SMILE at everyone you meet!<br />

CFISD EARNS NINTH STRAIGHT<br />

TEXAS SMART SCHOOLS 5-STAR RATING<br />

<strong>Cypress</strong>-Fairbanks ISD earned its ninth consecutive five-star rating in the<br />

Texas Smart Schools Initiative, an online resource that aims to improve<br />

education by identifying Smart Schools that are both effective and<br />

efficient. Gathering data on both academic progress and spending, each<br />

school district and campus is assigned a Smart Score of one to five stars. A<br />

five-star rating indicates the strongest level of relative academic progress<br />

combined with the lowest relative spending. CFISD is one of 51 public<br />

and charter school districts across the state to earn a five-star rating. In<br />

addition, CFISD has earned the highest possible rating in all nine years of<br />

the Texas Smart Schools program. Texas Smart Schools uses three-year<br />

averages to obtain more stable and persistent measures of academic<br />

progress and spending. The <strong>2019</strong> Texas Smart Schools results are based<br />

on data from the 2015-2016, 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 school years.<br />

JUNIOR POLICE ACADEMY CONNECTS<br />

YOUNG STUDENTS WITH OFFICERS<br />

In finding new ways to be engaged with the CFISD community, the<br />

district’s Police Department recently completed its first-ever Junior<br />

Police Academy, giving students a week of learning and activities and<br />

helping foster the relationship between officers and their constituents.<br />

Created for 9-and-10-year-old students, the academy featured sessions<br />

at <strong>Cypress</strong> Ridge (June) and <strong>Cypress</strong> Springs (July) high schools.<br />

Originally set up for 45 participants per session, the academy swelled to<br />

96 in total attendance. Participants were grouped together into smaller<br />

squads, with officers serving as mentors and interacting with cadets on<br />

a personal level.<br />

Officers and cadets alternated between outdoor activities, hands-on<br />

instruction and classroom training each day. Session topics included<br />

social media safety, stereotyping and bullying, gang prevention, drug<br />

prevention and gun safety. Cadets learned mapping skills and tourniquet<br />

application among others, while other activities emphasized team<br />

building and problem solving. Physical training was incorporated daily,<br />

with cadets competing in an obstacle course. Fun activities were also fit<br />

into the week, giving campers and officers even more opportunities to<br />

interact and connect. Cadets were also treated to unique meet-and-greet<br />

opportunities with local public safety first responders. Police pilots and<br />

tactical flight officers with the Texas Department of Public Safety flew<br />

and landed a helicopter at each campus, while Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire<br />

Department firefighters and paramedics showcased a firetruck.<br />

Members of the <strong>Cypress</strong> Creek EMS visited cadets at <strong>Cypress</strong> Springs,<br />

teaching a hands-on lesson on tourniquets. Feedback was positive and<br />

plans are already in place for possible academy expansion in the future.<br />

CFISD MUSICIANS EARN COVETED SPOTS<br />

IN HOUSTON YOUTH SYMPHONY<br />

Three CFISD students have gone above and beyond in the field of<br />

orchestra over the summer, as Romir Adkar, a rising eighth-grade student<br />

at Smith Middle School and Rohil Watwe and Anika Adkar, rising freshman<br />

and sophomore students at Bridgeland High School, respectively, were<br />

among 400 musicians selected to play in the Houston Youth Symphony<br />

for the <strong>2019</strong>-2020 season.<br />

With three full orchestras and two string orchestras - including a debut<br />

ensemble - the Houston Youth Symphony pledges to offer a comprehensive<br />

musical experience for young musicians between 7 and 19 years old at any<br />

skill level. Orchestras rehearse weekly to prepare for three public concerts<br />

at Rice University’s Stude Concert Hall each season. In addition, leading<br />

professionals from the Houston area lead sectionals for each orchestra<br />

and workshops and other opportunities are available for musicians.<br />

The audition process is conducted in April and May and those accepted<br />

into the program were notified in June. Watwe and the Adkars will all<br />

be part of the Debut String Orchestra, which is under the direction of Dr.<br />

Jackson Guillen and provides foundational experience for developing<br />

string players.<br />

Three concerts are scheduled for the Debut String Orchestra: Nov. 3,<br />

<strong>2019</strong>; Feb. 9, 2020 and May 3, 2020.<br />

BRIDGELAND HS TSA ARCHITECTURE TEAM<br />

PLACES FIFTH AT NATIONAL TSA CONFERENCE<br />

Bridgeland High School’s Technology Student Association (TSA)<br />

architecture team placed fifth in the nation at the National TSA<br />

Conference held in Washington D.C.<br />

The team consisting of upcoming juniors Ethan Hajdik, Kaylee Ngitit and<br />

Zachary Taylor and upcoming senior Evelyn Huerta, was tasked with<br />

designing a sustainable structure that would be able to be used in the<br />

aftermath of a natural disaster. Their design earned high praise from<br />

judges for its versatility and the idea that it could be used for multiple<br />

purposes, including disaster housing or a temporary hospital.<br />

Designing the structure was just one small part of the competition. At the<br />

beginning of each year, teams receive a prompt and students must try<br />

and find the best solution to solve the problem. The team drew plans,<br />

filled out multiple documents and even met with an architecture firm to<br />

round out the project. In order to qualify for the national competition,<br />

the four-student team had to place in the top three at regionals and top<br />

five in the state. The Bridgeland TSA architecture team earned first at<br />

both competitions. The national competition had teams from 48 states<br />

and two countries.<br />

TSA is a national association of students engaged in science, technology,<br />

engineering and mathematics. Membership includes over 250,000<br />

students across the country. To learn more about TSA, visit their website.<br />

SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL<br />

CHILDHOOD OBESITY AWARENESS MONTH<br />

National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month offers opportunities for<br />

families to prevent childhood obesity early and to address the issue early.<br />

Children who have obesity issues are more likely to have those same<br />

issues as adults. Addressing them now prevents lifelong health issues<br />

such as diabetes, certain cancers, heart and sleep disorders.<br />

Children with obesity may face physical, emotional and financial<br />

obstacles in the future, as well. Find out how to take action at www.cdc.<br />

gov.<br />

NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH<br />

Disasters don’t plan ahead, but you can. The entire month of<br />

<strong>September</strong> observes National Preparedness Month. No matter where<br />

you live, you are subject to disasters. Natural disaster and man-made<br />

disasters affect everyone and will cause severe damage and endanger<br />

lives. Hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, landslides, wildfires, hot<br />

spells or cold spells are all natural disasters that can be deadly to<br />

people and property. Man-made disasters such as terrorism, crime,<br />

power outages, famines or war are just as terrifying as any natural<br />

disasters. Preparation is essential for the safety of you and your family.<br />

It can also ensure valuable personal possessions are taken care of<br />

properly before you lose them.<br />

A $40 Registration Fee is due when you sign up and reoccurs from <strong>September</strong> of each year.<br />

Family First: Deciding how long a disaster will last and the after-effects<br />

are the first step in preparation. Depending on the type of emergency,<br />

you may need food and water for a few days. Food that is easily stored<br />

and prepared is critical during a disaster. When disaster strikes, you want<br />

to make sure your family has water to last for a specified duration of time.<br />

It is recommended each family member have 1 gallon of water per day<br />

to remain hydrated. Having proper eating utensils, small stoves that run<br />

off propane or a grill for cooking, matches, candles, blankets and extra<br />

clothes are a few items to pack away in a safe, accessible place. Try not<br />

to forget about family activities! Pack away some board games, cards or<br />

books to help the time pass by. Having things for children to do will also<br />

keep their mind at ease. More than half of all parents lack a designated<br />

meeting place to fall back to in an emergency. Family fire drills may seem<br />

silly, but they do serve a purpose. Unfortunately, many Americans don’t<br />

have a list of emergency contact numbers either. Make sure the entire<br />

family has memorized any numbers that are of significance in the case<br />

of disaster.<br />

Personal Property: Finally, personal property is always a concern when<br />

natural disaster hits. Though it’s not always possible, you can do a few<br />

things to make sure you save the valuable documents that mean the<br />

most to you. If you have a computer, you can scan any documents and<br />

put them on an external drive. Store the drive someplace safe and dry.<br />

With today’s technology, we can save our photo memories more easily.<br />

If saving photographs of family is important, consider scanning them on<br />

an external so you can reprint them if the originals are lost or destroyed.<br />

Most importantly, make sure your insurance policies are up-to-date. You<br />

can visit your insurance agent any time to review what you have, what is<br />

covered and what options you have in the event a disaster destroys your<br />

home or vehicles.<br />

Preparing for a disaster might seem like an impossible task and we<br />

hope you never have to experience one. But if you do, government<br />

agencies like FEMA and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention,<br />

as well as organizations like the American Red Cross, provide excellent<br />

websites with enough information to get you started. These websites<br />

also offer suggestions on how to plan in specific instances, like<br />

being without power for weeks. Your insurance companies will also<br />

have information you can use as you prepare. Insurance companies<br />

encourage families to prepare for disasters. It makes their jobs easier<br />

once the emergency is over and it also gives you peace of mind that<br />

you were covered correctly.<br />

Garden Tips For <strong>September</strong><br />

Time now to make plans for fall landscaping projects.<br />

• Clean up flowerbeds of fallen foliage, yellowed leaves and dead wood.<br />

Light green leaves may signify lack of iron (chlorosis). Correct with iron<br />

cheleates.<br />

• Cut off old dead foliage on irises. Scratch in a little bone meal around<br />

the roots.<br />

• Prune roses to reshape and groom plants for fall growth. Follow up with<br />

a dose of fertilizer the first week of <strong>September</strong>.<br />

• Plants come out of summer rest and go crazy. Insect populations<br />

explode as we get into cooler temperatures. Diseases that have been<br />

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<br />

the undersides of the leaves.<br />

- Hibiscus, citrus, palms, gardenia and ixora are susceptible to scale<br />

and 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<br />

number of eggs that make it to Spring.<br />

• St. Augustine grass gets its fall fertilizer during <strong>September</strong>. Continue<br />

to mow at maximum height. You want to leave a lot of leaf surface to<br />

produce carbohydrate reserves for the winter.<br />

• Keep an eye out for sod webworms. First sign of them is grass that<br />

appears to stop growing. You need to get them early for biological<br />

controls to work. When the caterpillars are only 1/4 inch, Bacillus<br />

thuringiensis applications can slow them. Bt is a bacteria that works on<br />

the caterpillars’ digestive systems and makes them stop feeding. Do the<br />

application late in the day. The larvae feed at night and you want them<br />

to get nice fresh Bt.<br />

• When the heat and drought end, the weather could bring brown patch<br />

disease in the St. Augustine grass. Watch for yellowish spots if the nights<br />

drop into the 60’s and days stay in the 80’s.<br />

• Get any pruning of hedges and such done now. You want the flush of<br />

new growth to be hardened-off before the end of October. Tree pruning<br />

should be put off until winter, when the trees are dormant.<br />

• Pre-emerge herbicide applications targeting annual bluegrass and<br />

the earlier-germinating winter broadleaf weeds needed to be put out<br />

starting in mid-August.<br />
