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 />
