NATIONAL BLACK HISTORY MONTH<br />
<strong>February</strong> is National Black History Month, also known as National<br />
African American History Month, a time for all Americans to celebrate<br />
the achievements of African Americans and recognize their central role<br />
in American history.<br />
Other countries, including Canada and Great Britain, have also set aside<br />
months to honor black history. <strong>The</strong> month of <strong>February</strong> was chosen to<br />
coincide with the birthdays of President Abraham Lincoln and noted civil<br />
rights advocate Frederick Douglass. <strong>The</strong> first record of Africans arriving in<br />
North America is dated 1619, when a privateer ship carrying “twenty and<br />
odd” Africans landed at Point Comfort, Virginia, which is now modernday<br />
Hampton, Virginia. <strong>The</strong> Africans were traded as slaves in exchange<br />
for provisions.<br />
African-American’s impact our society throughout history and in<br />
numerous ways. Here are just a few prominent individuals we honor this<br />
month:<br />
• Thurgood Marshall was the first African-American appointed to the<br />
Supreme Court. We recognize Thurgood Marshall every year on National<br />
Maryland Day.<br />
• George Washington Carver developed over 300 products from peanuts.<br />
Celebrate George Washington Carver and his contributions to the peanut<br />
industry on National Peanut Day.<br />
• Shirley Chisholm was the first African-American woman elected to U.S.<br />
House of Representatives.<br />
• Rosa Parks helped initiate the Civil Rights Movement by refusing to give<br />
up her seat on the bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Celebrate Rosa Park on<br />
Rosa Parks Day and learn more about her contributions to the Civil Rights<br />
Movement.<br />
• Louis Armstrong is widely known as a jazz pioneer. Information about<br />
Louis Armstrong can be found in November on National Louisiana Day.<br />
• Colin Powell is a 4-star General who became Secretary of State. Colin<br />
Powell dedicated the Buffalo Soldier monument at Fort Leavenworth,<br />
Kansas, establishing the first Buffalo Soldiers Day.<br />
• Barack Obama was elected the first Black President of the United<br />
States.<br />
Black History Month was created by twentieth-century historian<br />
Carter Woodson, who believed black Americans were not adequately<br />
represented in the study of American history. Carter Woodson hoped<br />
for the day when black history would be accepted as a part of American<br />
history. Formerly known as Negro History Week, Black History Month was<br />
officially declared by President Gerald Ford in 1976.<br />

NATIONAL HEART MONTH<br />
<strong>February</strong> focuses on the heart making it National Heart Month. Anyone<br />
can be at risk for heart disease. More and more, our sedentary lifestyles<br />
are putting us at risk at a younger age. Obesity, high blood pressure and<br />
smoking all increase our risk factors.<br />
Each one of those we can take action to lower our risk. Get moving.<br />
Remove stress. Quit smoking. Eat healthier.<br />
Even small changes help make a difference. Reduce the amount of fast<br />
food. Eat more greens. Take the stairs. Walk the kids to school. Go outside<br />
and play with the kids or walk the dog.<br />
Talk to your physician about your risk factors. Walking is one of the<br />
healthiest and safest activities we can do for ourselves. Learn more at<br />
www.cdc.gov and use #NationalHeartMonth to share on social media.<br />

DEMOGRAPHERS PROJECT<br />
CONTINUED GROWTH FOR KATY ISD<br />
During its December Board meeting, Population and Survey Analysts<br />
(PASA) presented its annual demographic update on Katy ISD enrollment<br />
growth. According to the organization, the District is expected to see<br />
nearly 100,000 students by 2029, making it the second fastest growth<br />
school district in Texas.<br />
While the District is currently 79% built out, PASA projects the majority of<br />
enrollment growth is expected to take place in the northwest quadrant<br />
of Katy ISD. Specifically, Katy High School and Paetow High School are<br />
projected to be over enrollment capacity by the year 2023. <strong>The</strong> five<br />
largest and fastest growing subdivisions in the northwest quadrant<br />
include Elyson, Cane Island, Bridgeland, Camillo Lakes, Morton Creek<br />
Ranch. Together, these growing subdivisions are expected to bring over<br />
27,000 residents to the area within the next eight years.<br />
Even with the growth projections spotlighting the northwest quadrant,<br />
in other quadrants around the District, many campuses will see various<br />
levels of enrollment growth. Cinco Ranch High School, for example, is<br />
projected to see large enrollment numbers in <strong>2020</strong>-2022.<br />
Katy ISD works closely with PASA to determine attendance boundary<br />
modifications needed as the district continues to grow at a rapid<br />
pace. PASA indicated the District will need new campuses to address<br />
overcapacity enrollment relief and to balance enrollment across the<br />
District, especially in the predicted growth area of the northwest<br />
quadrant.<br />
KATY ISD MOVING FORWARD<br />
WITH TWO SCHOOL BUS INITIATIVES<br />
In December, the Katy Independent School District Board of Trustees<br />
approved two transportation items that are focused on providing<br />
safe, reliable transportation to the District. <strong>The</strong> Transportation Camera<br />
Systems Upgrade, which was made possible by Katy ISD’s 2017 Bond,<br />
will enhance the camera systems on every District bus to include eight<br />
cameras located in the front, inside and back of the buses. In addition, to<br />
help alleviate the bus driver shortage across the District, Trustees voted<br />
to approve a contract for the <strong>2020</strong>-2021 school year that will provide<br />
funds to hire GoldStar Transit, a third party transportation provider, to<br />
supplement districtwide driver personnel needs.<br />
Assistant Superintendent of Operations, Ted Vierling, presented both<br />
items. “<strong>The</strong> camera system upgrade will provide the latest in technology<br />
and safety measures available in school bus transportation,” said Vierling.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> system is capable of supplying video coverage of every seat<br />
positioned in the school bus, while also monitoring the activity in nearly<br />
every corner of the vehicle and bus stop locations,” he added.<br />
Installation of the cameras began over the District’s Winter Break, with<br />
all 330 regular buses and 241 special education buses anticipated to be<br />
outfitted by the end of the 2019-<strong>2020</strong> school year.<br />
Katy ISD will also enter into an agreement with GoldStar Transit to provide<br />
additional drivers as the District continues to struggle with personnel<br />
recruitment amid the state- and nation-wide bus driver shortage. <strong>The</strong> new<br />
agreement with GoldStar Transit, a Texas based transportation company, will<br />
provide at least 40 bus routes, though remains tentative until new school and<br />
enrollment routes are confirmed in Summer <strong>2020</strong>. GoldStar Transit currently<br />
provides services to a number of school districts, including Fort Bend ISD,<br />
Bastrop ISD, Waco ISD and Navasota ISD. <strong>The</strong> company’s drivers will be<br />
trained alongside Katy ISD bus drivers, while its buses will display Katy ISD<br />
signage and have equipment on par with that of standard District buses.<br />
Still, District officials have emphasized that recruiting and retaining inhouse<br />
drivers remains its priority now and into the future. Katy ISD has<br />
put a great deal of effort into increasing and maintaining its bus driver<br />
pool, including recently raising hourly pay to $17.17/hour - a figure that<br />
is competitive across the region, increasing perfect attendance and<br />
recruitment bonuses, providing child care services at the rate of $2 a day<br />
and conducting annual recruitment fairs.<br />
KATY ISD EARNS AP® DISTRICT<br />
HONOR ROLL FOR THE 8TH TIME<br />
<strong>The</strong> College Board announced Katy Independent School District as one<br />
of 250 school districts in the U.S. and Canada to be recognized by the<br />
organization on the 10 th Annual AP® District Honor Roll for increasing<br />
Advanced Placement (AP) course participation and scores. Katy ISD is one<br />
of only 18 districts in Texas to earn this distinction.<br />
More than 4,000 colleges and universities around the world accept AP<br />
scores for college credit, advanced placement and/or consideration in the<br />
admissions process. To be included on the 10 th Annual AP District Honor<br />
Roll, the committee reviews three years of data, student participation<br />
and student scores on AP Exams.<br />
Additional requirements to be eligible for the 10 th Annual AP District<br />
Honor Roll, participating districts must:<br />
• Increase participation/access to AP course work by at least 4 percent<br />
in large districts, at least 6 percent in medium districts and at least 11<br />
percent in small districts.<br />
• Increase or maintain the percentage of exams taken by Black/African<br />
American, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian/Alaska Native and Native<br />
Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander students who scored a 3 or higher on at<br />
least one AP exam.<br />
• Improve or maintain performance levels when comparing the<br />
percentage of students in 2018 scoring a three (3) or higher to those<br />
in 2016, unless the district has already attained a performance level at<br />
which more than 70 percent of its AP students are scoring a 3 or higher.<br />
In 2019, Katy ISD was also named the College Board’s AP Large District<br />
of the Year for being the nation’s leader among large school districts in<br />
simultaneously expanding access to Advanced Placement Program® (AP)<br />
courses and improving students’ performance on AP Exams.<br />
Founded in 1919, Katy ISD recently celebrated a century of learning as a leader<br />
in educational excellence. <strong>The</strong> District maintains more than 66 campuses and<br />
facilities and serves 83,000+ students. Recently, Katy ISD earned an “A” overall<br />
district rating from the Texas Education Agency and an “A” from the Texas<br />
Schools Financial Accountability Rating System of Texas (FIRST).<br />

WOODCREEK JUNIOR HS FUNDRAISER RAISES<br />
OVER $8,000 FOR LEUKEMIA AND LYMPHOMA<br />
Recently, Katy Independent School District’s WoodCreek Junior High<br />
(WCJH) participated in the Pennies for Patients program and raised more<br />
than $8,600 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). Over four<br />
days, the campus rallied behind the cause, helped promote community<br />
service and is currently the top earning school in the LLS Texas Gulf Coast<br />
Region for the 2019-<strong>2020</strong> school year. Since 2009, WCJH has raised over<br />
$68,000 for the organization. <strong>The</strong> fundraiser is sponsored and led by<br />
eighth graders in the WCJH National Junior Honor Society (NJHS). <strong>The</strong>y<br />
offer students the opportunity to “buy out” of their class on an early<br />
dismissal day by bringing in as many pennies as they can. If the classroom<br />
raises more than $20, they are eligible to opt out of normal class work and<br />
would instead hear from local cancer patients or do classroom activities<br />
from the program’s STEM curriculum. <strong>The</strong> NJHS students run and sponsor<br />
the fundraiser, which includes setup, posters, collecting and counting the<br />
money. WCJH teachers and NJHS sponsors, Courtney Lewis and Kayleigh<br />
Covington, were in awe of this year’s campus support that rallied around<br />
the annual fundraiser.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> WCJH campus is so fantastic to put the effort and excitement that<br />
they do into the program and raising money for the Leukemia and<br />
Lymphoma Society. Every class gets into it and it is a fun competition<br />
that also benefits a wonderful cause,” Lewis said. In addition to school<br />
incentives, the LLS program does provide rewards for the top earning<br />
classes on each campus. <strong>The</strong> top class wins a catered Olive Garden lunch,<br />
the second wins a Domino’s pizza party and third wins a popsicle party. “It<br />
is incredible how much money we were able to raise! I am so proud of how<br />
giving our students are,” Dr. Melinda Stone, WCJH Principal, said. “It is a true<br />
testament to the collective support of our staff, parents and community.”<br />
Pennies for Patients, a science-based service-learning program, connects<br />
schools with local blood cancer patients, provides tangible life skills<br />
to participants, a K-8 STEM curriculum and allows students to see the<br />
impact they’re making in the lives of others. <strong>The</strong> Leukemia & Lymphoma<br />
Society (LLS) is the world’s largest voluntary health agency dedicated to<br />
blood cancer. <strong>The</strong> LLS mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s<br />
disease and myeloma and improve the quality of life of patients and their<br />
families. To learn more, visit the LLS Pennies for Patients website.<br />
NATIONAL DONOR DAY<br />
Observed each year on <strong>February</strong> 14 th , National Donor Day (also known as<br />
National Organ Donor Day) is a day to increase awareness about organ<br />
donation and the lives that can be saved. In the United States, more than<br />
120,000 people are waiting for a life-saving organ donation. Give the gift of<br />
Life. National Donor Day focuses on five different types of donations: organs,<br />
tissues, marrow, platelets and blood. Many nonprofit health organizations<br />
sponsor blood and marrow drives and organ/tissue sign-ups across the<br />
nation. Approximately every two seconds, there is someone in the U.S. who<br />
needs blood, which translates to the need for over 41,000 daily donations.<br />
Look into becoming a donor. Visit donatelifenw.org and organdonor.gov<br />
for more information on organ donation.<br />
National Donor Day was started in 1998 by the Saturn Corporation and its<br />
United Auto Workers partners, with the support of the U.S. Department<br />
of Health and Human Services and many nonprofit health organizations.<br />

CONGRATULATIONS TO A NEW EAGLE SCOUT<br />
William Hummeldorf, a sophomore at Tompkins High School in Katy,<br />
Texas, completed his Eagle Project at Manford Williams Elementary<br />
in Lamar CISD this month. William has been in the Boy Scout program<br />
since Kindergarten and is about to earn the highest rank possible. He<br />
is currently a Life Scout with BSA Troop 1103. He named his project the<br />
Rainbow Room. His Rainbow Room is a sensory room for elementary<br />
students with special needs. He wanted to provide a place for students<br />
to go when they feel over stimulated or overwhelmed. William is very<br />
passionate about this project because he, too, is on the autism spectrum<br />
and utilized a Rainbow Room in his preschool. William’s Rainbow room<br />
has a ball pit (made by Troop 1103), a punching bag, crash pad, teepee<br />
with weighted blanket and body sock, as well as a comfy bean bag chair<br />
with Optical LED lights surrounding it. William also provided a laptop with<br />
calming music already downloaded as well as a diffuser for aromatherapy<br />
and projector shining lights on the ceiling. <strong>The</strong> room is a tiny wonderland<br />
for kids who need it. William raised the money from family and friends,<br />
created a budget, built and assembled the items with help from fellow<br />
scouts and installed everything one weekend in December. William<br />
hopes the idea of his Rainbow Room will spread to other schools.<br />
