STILL ON THE FENCE ABOUT HOSTING AN<br />

EXCHANGE STUDENT?<br />

You don’t have any kids? Are you a single parent? Same sex couple? An<br />

empty nester? This is not a problem, we place our students in all kinds<br />

of families! You’re not rich? Neither am I! Your exchange student comes<br />

with their own spending money and health insurance. All you provide is<br />

room/board and three meals a day. Oh and TLC…but that’s free. Live in<br />

the middle of nowhere? Small town? Not a big deal. Some kids prefer to<br />

get away from the hustle and bustle of big cities. The exchange students<br />

also do pretty well in small schools, as they usually get to be the center of<br />

attention and make friends rather quickly. Our students also get chances<br />

to travel to New York, Washington DC, Hawaii and California…so they<br />

can get their fill of the city life and return back to the peaceful sounds of<br />

nature. Do you consider yourself a boring person? More than likely this<br />

is not true and you should quit being so hard on yourself. Your student<br />

will make friends. Your student will meet other exchange students. Your<br />

student will attend activities offered by our program. Your student will<br />

get involved in sports and school clubs. Your purpose is not to entertain<br />

them. But you might find that you bring a little adventure to each others<br />

lives. Kids are too young? Great! Lots of students love young kids and<br />

your kids will love them. It’s beneficial to introduce your kids to new<br />

cultures at a very young age. You’re preparing them to accept people no<br />

matter what the religion, color of their skin or language they speak. That<br />

my friend, is good parenting. Don’t hold back! This is a gret experience for<br />

both parties. You get the opportunity to change a child’s life. You get the<br />

satisfaction of seeing them grow, even after they leave your home into<br />

becoming a doctor, a lawyer, a diplomat, artist, teacher…the list goes<br />

on. And you contributed to that success! And the best part of it all, is<br />

you gain another family member for life. We need people like you to give<br />

these kids a chance. STS Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization whose<br />

mission is to place exchange students in our area. If you are interest in<br />

hosting, please contact me at 832-455-7881 or at vicki.stsfoundation@<br />

yahoo.com. I’ll be happy to answer any question you might have and get<br />

you started on hosting your very own student!<br />

IMPORTANT DATES<br />

<strong>February</strong> 17th: Professional Day/Inclement<br />

Weather Day<br />

BOARD APPROVES BOUNDARY<br />

CHANGES FOR <strong>2020</strong>-2021<br />

The CFISD Board of Trustees approved the administration’s<br />

recommendation for the establishment of attendance boundaries for<br />

Rowe Middle School and rezoning modifications of multiple campus<br />

attendance boundaries effective for the <strong>2020</strong>-2021 school year during<br />

the regularly scheduled meeting on December 16 th .<br />

The approved boundary plan provides enrollment relief for Thornton and<br />

Anthony middle schools for the <strong>2020</strong>-2021 school year. Other impacted<br />

campuses are Hopper and Kahla middle schools, Cypress Park and Cypress<br />

Springs high schools and Hemmenway, Walker, Wilson and Tipps elementary<br />

schools. The boundary proposal allows Rowe Middle School, which will open<br />

in August <strong>2020</strong>, to open with sixth, seventh and eighth grades. The proposal<br />

aligns feeder patterns while amending boundary lines for new developments.<br />

Per CFISD boundary transfer policies: Any middle school student affected<br />

by this boundary change who will be in eighth grade for the <strong>2020</strong>-2021<br />

school year may remain at their current middle school on a student<br />

transfer if their parents provide transportation. This opportunity will not<br />

be available for younger siblings; • Students who are affected by a high<br />

school boundary change who will have an older sibling in 10 th , 11 th or<br />

12 th grades attending the affected high school may choose to transfer to<br />

their original high school rather than attend the high school designated<br />

by the rezoning. The sibling transfer will remain eligible for UIL varsity<br />

participation and they will be allowed to remain until graduation and<br />

• Any elementary school student affected by this boundary change who<br />

will be in fifth grade for the <strong>2020</strong>-2021 school year may remain at their<br />

current elementary school on a student transfer if their parents provide<br />

transportation. This opportunity will not be available for younger siblings.<br />

BOY SCOUT TROOP 609<br />

Boy Scout Troop 609 is a specialized for Boys with high functioning<br />

Autism Spectrum Disorders. They meet at the Westview School on the 1 st<br />

and 3 rd Saturday of the month from 9:30-11:30 AM.<br />

BOY SCOUT TROOP 838<br />

Troop 838 is a small pack located near Hwy 6 and West Road at the<br />

Crossbridges Church. We are between the Copperfield and Aberdeen<br />

neighborhoods. Being a smaller troop allows us to be flexible and address<br />

the needs of our scouts more nimbly. We currently have boys from ages<br />

11 to 17 within our group working to make Eagle.<br />

We try to camp monthly, with a wide variety of locations on our agenda.<br />

The different locations are chosen by the senior boys to more directly<br />

meet our training needs and to keep expenses low. In fact, we have some<br />

of the lowest expenses in the area.<br />

Our adult leaders are all experienced with years of scouting under their<br />

belt per individual. We also work closely with several local packs of cub<br />

scouts and participate in civic duties around the area as well. Please<br />

contact us at TROOP838CYPRESS.ORG or 414-331-3321.<br />

TROOP 1865<br />

Troop 1865 runs a diverse program of outdoor and service activities,<br />

with events selected by the scouts themselves. We meet Mondays at 6:30<br />

PM, at the Copperfield HOA building on Willow River and Hwy 6, behind<br />

Labay. We’ve gone backpacking through the National Forest, rappelling<br />

off Enchanted Rock, Survival camping, boating, canoeing and anything<br />

else the scouts can dream up. We do high-adventure camping at Philmont<br />

and Seabase. Our advancement program has enabled scout to achieve<br />

the coveted rank of Eagle Scout at 10 times the national average rate.<br />

We see scouting as a practice run on adult life. Scouts learn about<br />

leadership and teamwork through having to work together in the field.<br />

We learn about responsibility through fund-raising activities that have<br />

allowed the entire troop to pay for their own summer camp each year.<br />

CUB SCOUT PACK 2<br />

We are an active year round pack for Kindergarten-5 th grade that focuses<br />

on life skills, teamwork, leadership and FUN! Cub Scout activities include<br />

camping, fishing, pinewood derby, hiking and much more! During the<br />

school year we meet on the 3 rd Monday of each month at 7 PM at Birkes<br />

Elementary in the cafeteria. Contact me for more information and to find<br />

out what exciting activities we have planned for summer! Ame Lane-281-<br />

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA -<br />

COPPERHEAD DISTRICT<br />

For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found<br />

in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant in<br />

helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting<br />

helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership<br />

skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.<br />

The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities<br />

that allow them to:<br />

• Try new things.<br />

• Provide service to others.<br />

• Build self-confidence.<br />

• Reinforce ethical standards.<br />

Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as<br />

individuals while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility<br />

and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made,<br />

peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made.<br />

Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting<br />

through the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which<br />

help our youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston<br />

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. The 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. The 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. The 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 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 BIRD FEEDING MONTH<br />

During National Bird Feeding Month in <strong>February</strong>, keep the bird feeders<br />

filled and your binoculars ready.<br />

Bird watching and feeding have become a popular hobby. By providing<br />

basic shelter and seed, hobbyists watch from their windows or along<br />

trails. While it’s a year-round hobby, watching during the depths of winter<br />

offers some of the most beautiful birding available. Not only do you see<br />

the birds against a white backdrop, but the variety of birds in winter<br />

climates will increase your interest.<br />

• Be sure to feed regularly and place your feeder away from predators.<br />

• Set binoculars near the window for best viewing.<br />

• Obtain a bird book for identifying new species.<br />

FILL UP THE BIRD FEEDER OR ADD ONE THIS MONTH<br />

Use #NationalBirdFeedingMonth to share social media. In 1994,<br />

Congressman John Porter established <strong>February</strong> as National Bird Feeding<br />

Month due to the harsh conditions endured during one of the coldest<br />

months of the year. Source: https://nationaldaycalendar.com<br />

ST. ELIZABETH ANN SETON SCHOLA CANTORUM<br />

Do you want your children to become lifelong servants of the Church?<br />

Singing in a children’s choir is a great way to help that. The St. Elizabeth<br />

Ann Seton Schola Cantorum is currently accepting children Grades 4-12<br />

for its after-school choir program. The choir is responsible for enriching<br />

the Mass on 10:30 on Sundays and rehearses every Wednesday from<br />

3:45-5 PM. Unique in the area, the choir focuses on singing music from<br />

the rich Catholic tradition, including chant and polyphony, as well as the<br />

finest modern church music. Time is devoted to building the children’s<br />

skills of music reading, vocal technique, thinking about the words and<br />

the structure and meaning of the Mass. Service hours are available for<br />

older students. For more information, please contact Dr. Douglas O’Neill<br />

Lighter Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo<br />

Ingredients:<br />

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts<br />

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth<br />

4 cloves garlic, minced<br />

ground black pepper to taste<br />

2 cups heavy cream<br />

2 egg yolks<br />

salt to taste<br />

1 pound fettuccine<br />

1 sprig chopped fresh parsley<br />

2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided<br />

Directions: Combine chicken breasts and chicken broth in a saucepan<br />

over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low;<br />

simmer for 5 minutes. Turn breasts, cover and simmer another 5 minutes.<br />

Remove from heat and let sit with the cover on for 15 minutes.<br />

Remove chicken breasts from the broth and set aside to cool, reserving<br />

the broth in the saucepan. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle,<br />

cut into bite-size slices. Return the chicken broth to medium heat and<br />

cook until reduced to 1 cup. Stir garlic, black pepper and heavy cream<br />

into the reduced broth; bring to a simmer and remove from heat.<br />

Whisk egg yolks in a bowl until smooth. Beat 1 tablespoon of the warm<br />

cream mixture into the eggs until thoroughly incorporated; repeat until<br />

about 1/2 cup of the warm cream mixture is used. Whisk the warm cream<br />

and egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream<br />

mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the<br />

mixture almost comes to a simmer and thickens, about 5 minutes. Season<br />

with salt and black pepper to taste.<br />

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine in<br />

boiling water, stirring occasionally, until nearly cooked through, about<br />

7 minutes. Drain.<br />

Stir parsley, 1 cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano and cream mixture into the<br />

pasta. Remove from heat, cover and let sit for a few minutes until thick.<br />

Fold chicken and 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano into the pasta mixture to<br />

serve.<br />
