We Need To Update The Birthdays And Anniversaries 

We have had no changes to add or delete the birthday list in quite a while, so we have no idea if the names on the list still live in the subdivision. 

Because of this, we will be clearing the current list in early summer and starting over. To put your name on the Birthday or Anniversary list just send 

in your name (first and last), along with your birthday or anniversary date (Subject on email - Lone Oak Birthday/Anniversary List.) In the month that 

your birthday and/or anniversary falls, we will print them. Note: you do not have to wait for the month of your birthday or anniversary to send it in, the 

earlier the better! Email to news@krenekprinting.com.

Hit The Brakes… 

Speeding in Lone Oak has been a hot topic of discussion lately. There have 

been numerous reports of speeding and of running stop signs. We have 

notified the Sheriff of these reports and have asked that tickets be issued 

to offenders. Several surrounding schools and residents have purchased 

kid alert safety signs to be placed in front of their homes and or buildings 

to remind people to slow down. If you would like to purchase a safety 

sign, here are a couple websites that sell the signs, www.kaplantoys.com 

and www.discountschoolsupply.com

IMPORTANT DATES 

December 23rd- January 3rd: 

Christmas Holiday 

COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE FAIR 

SET FOR DECEMBER 3RD 

The CFISD guidance and counseling and psychological services 

departments are sponsoring the Community Mental Health Resource 

Fair, to be held on December 3 rd , 3:30-6 PM at the Berry Center (8877 

Barker Cypress Road). District parents, staff and community members 

will have the opportunity to meet the CFISD Mental Health Intervention 

Team and community mental health care providers, as well as learn of 

available resources and opportunities. 

More than 70 mental health providers and vendors are scheduled to 

attend the fair, including a massage therapist to help promote self-care. 

Numerous door prizes will be available for fair patrons to win, while 

vendors and events booths will have gifts and other giveaways. 

“This is an awesome opportunity for our entire community to view many 

of our mental health providers under one roof,” said Franklin Sampson, 

director of guidance and counseling. “It’s very rare to have an event solely 

focused on providing individual information from multiple therapists and 

facilities. We are taking the guess work out of it. We are giving everyone 

the privilege of meeting with mental health providers. The event is totally 

free and we encourage all to attend. Let’s continue to tackle the stigma 

associated with mental health concerns.” 

CFISD RECEIVES BRONZE AWARD FROM CENTER 

FOR SCHOOL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH 

Cypress-Fairbanks ISD, through the department of psychological services 

and the guidance and counseling department, received a Bronze 

recognition award at the Center for School Behavioral Health’s annual 

conference on September 27 th . 

The Center for School Behavioral Health is a program started by Mental 

Health America of Greater Houston. The program allows school districts 

across the greater Houston area to come together and collaborate on 

ideas and best practices through the Center Collaborative and Learning 

Community subprograms. CFISD’s department of psychological services 

and the guidance and counseling department have both been members 

of the Center Collaborative and Learning Community for more than 

seven years. 

The following requirements must be met by a school district to receive a 

Bronze recognition award: 

• District is a Center Collaborative member for at least one full academic 

year. 

• District is implementing five to 10 center recommendations. 

• At least one district representative attends 60 percent of the Center 

Collaborative meetings. 

• At least one district representative attends 40 percent of the Learning 

Community meetings. 

6 

• At least one district representative has attended an additional center 

organized event or learning opportunity. 

• At least one district staff member attends the annual center conference. 

• More than 50 percent of the district staff has received training on signs 

and symptoms of mental health challenges and suicide prevention. 

CFISD EARNS SCHOOLS FIRST TOP RATING 

FOR 17TH STRAIGHT YEAR 

Cypress-Fairbanks ISD received a rating of Superior by the Texas Education 

Agency (TEA)’s School FIRST (Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas) 

program, announced in early August - marking the 17 th consecutive top 

rating for CFISD. 

The rating system measures the quality of a district’s financial management 

and reporting system based on 15 indicators. A negative response to any 

of the first few criteria could have resulted in an automatic “Substandard” 

rating. CFISD received the highest rating on 14 of 15 indicators. While a 

score of 60 indicates a passing mark, CFISD attained a score of 94. The 

highest possible score is 100. 

School FIRST was developed by the TEA in response to Senate Bill 218, 

which was passed by the 77 th Legislature in 2001. The primary objective 

of School FIRST is to achieve quality performance in the management of 

school districts’ financial resources - a goal made more significant due to the 

complexity of accounting associated with the Texas school financial system. 

The School FIRST accountability rating system assigns financial ratings 

to Texas school districts, with the highest being Superior, followed by 

Above-Standard, Meets-Standard and Substandard Achievement. 

SIXTH ANNUAL CFISD HEALTH EXPO 

DRAWS 1,300-PLUS GUESTS 

More than 1,300 patrons visited the sixth annual CFISD Health Expo, 

benefitting the Health Organization of Physical Educators (H.O.P.E.), on 

October 12 th at the Berry Center. 

The event featured on-site health screenings and massages and included 

health demonstrations such as the blender bike attraction provided by 

CFISD’s nutrition services department. The event featured a total of seven 

student performances. 

Students and parents participated in a health walk on the concourse 

facilitated by elementary PE teachers to encourage movement. The expo 

benefits H.O.P.E., which raises scholarships to support physical education 

and promote lifelong physical fitness. 

“We’re so thankful to have everyone come out,” said Tania Gaubert, CFISD 

health services coordinator. “It’s been overwhelming to see the amount of 

sponsors that have come out and set up their booths for the community 

to see. It’s been a great success.”

“It feels great to know that the hard work pays off,” Martinez said. “You 

put so much effort and so much dedication into the sport, something 

that you really love. Anything you put your heart into is going to be 

successful.” 

Martinez is ranked second in his class. He is a dual-sport athlete (cross 

country and soccer) and has competed in cross country since seventh 

grade. During the season, Martinez dropped his time more than two and 

half minutes. He placed ninth at the District 14-6A meet on October 18 th , 

advancing to the Region II-6A Cross Country Championships where he 

was a top-50 finisher. 

Martinez credits being strong mentally for his success in athletics, 

especially in cross country. “There’s a lot of mental and physical battles 

with yourself,” he said. “You’re stronger than what you think you are and 

I think that’s very true. Sometimes your mind just wants to give up, your 

legs are tired and you just want to stop. That’s when your mental strength 

comes into play and you have to really go hard.”

nimbly. We currently have boys from ages 11 to 17 within our group working 

to make Eagle. We try to camp monthly, with a wide variety of locations on our 

agenda. The different locations are chosen by the senior boys to more directly 

meet our training needs and to keep expenses low. In fact, we have some of the 

lowest expenses in the area. Our adult leaders are all experienced with years 

of scouting under their belt per individual. We also work closely with several 

local packs of cub scouts and participate in civic duties around the area as well.

Labay. We’ve gone backpacking through the National Forest, rappelling 

off Enchanted Rock, Survival camping, boating, canoeing and anything 

else the scouts can dream up. We do high-adventure camping at 

Philmont and Seabase. Our advancement program has enabled scout to 

achieve the coveted rank of Eagle Scout at 10 times the national average 

rate. We see scouting as a practice run on adult life. Scouts learn about 

leadership and teamwork through having to work together in the field. 

We learn about responsibility through fund-raising activities that have 

allowed the entire troop to pay for their own summer camp each year.

that allow them to: • Try new things. • Provide service to others. • Build selfconfidence.

DIRECTIONS: 

In a small bowl, combine gelatin and cold water; set aside to soften. 

Combine milk and 1/2 cup sugar in a small glass bowl. Microwave for 3 

minutes or until milk begins to boil. 

In a steady stream, pour hot milk into beaten eggs, whisking constantly. 

Cook custard in the microwave, whisking after each minute, until it 

thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in softened gelatin and mix until 

melted. Stir in rum. Let filling cool to room temperature. (If you refrigerate 

it, stir occasionally to prevent gelatin from setting too soon.) 

In a medium bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form; beat in 1/4 cup 

sugar. Set aside 1/2 cup of whipped cream for garnish; keep refrigerated. 

Fold remaining whipped cream into eggnog mixture. Pour filling into 

pie crust and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Garnish with reserved 

whipped cream and a dusting of nutmeg.
