CFISD EARNS NINTH STRAIGHT
TEXAS SMART SCHOOLS 5-STAR RATING
Cypress-Fairbanks ISD earned its ninth consecutive five-star rating in the
Texas Smart Schools Initiative, an online resource that aims to improve
education by identifying Smart Schools that are both effective and
efficient. Gathering data on both academic progress and spending, each
school district and campus is assigned a Smart Score of one to five stars. A
five-star rating indicates the strongest level of relative academic progress
combined with the lowest relative spending. CFISD is one of 51 public
and charter school districts across the state to earn a five-star rating. In
addition, CFISD has earned the highest possible rating in all nine years of
the Texas Smart Schools program. Texas Smart Schools uses three-year
averages to obtain more stable and persistent measures of academic
progress and spending. The 2019 Texas Smart Schools results are based
on data from the 2015-2016, 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 school years.
JUNIOR POLICE ACADEMY CONNECTS
YOUNG STUDENTS WITH OFFICERS
In finding new ways to be engaged with the CFISD community, the
district’s Police Department recently completed its first-ever Junior
Police Academy, giving students a week of learning and activities and
helping foster the relationship between officers and their constituents.
Created for 9-and-10-year-old students, the academy featured sessions
at Cypress Ridge (June) and Cypress Springs (July) high schools.
Originally set up for 45 participants per session, the academy swelled to
96 in total attendance. Participants were grouped together into smaller
squads, with officers serving as mentors and interacting with cadets on
a personal level.
Officers and cadets alternated between outdoor activities, hands-on
instruction and classroom training each day. Session topics included
social media safety, stereotyping and bullying, gang prevention, drug
prevention and gun safety. Cadets learned mapping skills and tourniquet
application among others, while other activities emphasized team
building and problem solving. Physical training was incorporated daily,
with cadets competing in an obstacle course. Fun activities were also fit
into the week, giving campers and officers even more opportunities to
interact and connect. Cadets were also treated to unique meet-and-greet
opportunities with local public safety first responders. Police pilots and
tactical flight officers with the Texas Department of Public Safety flew
and landed a helicopter at each campus, while Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire
Department firefighters and paramedics showcased a firetruck.
Members of the Cypress Creek EMS visited cadets at Cypress Springs,
teaching a hands-on lesson on tourniquets. Feedback was positive and
plans are already in place for possible academy expansion in the future.

U.S. BOWLING LEAGUE DAY
Each year league bowlers across the United States recognize U.S. Bowling
League Day on September 3 rd . Primarily an outdoor sport until around
1840, bowling was called the game of ninepins and popular with gamblers.
To snuff out the gambling, the state of Connecticut banned the game in
1841, which led the newly indoor lane owners to add one pin to their alleys
to circumvent the law. Clubs tried organizing and creating set rules, but
it wasn’t until 1895 when the American Bowling Congress came together
at Beethoven Hall in New York City. The American Bowling Congress
established a maximum score of 300, which still stands today. Other
rules, such as lane length, widths and distances between pins were also
determined. Today, leagues of men, women and mixed teams of all ages
play in bowling competitions around the world. Weekly league bowling is a
great social outing as well as great physical activity. Gather your league and
go bowling. If you are not a member of a league, just invite some friends.
