PET SAFETY IN THE SUMMER 

Every summer, veterinary clinics can set calendars by the number of 

heat related emergencies seen. The variety of symptoms runs from 

dehydration, to heat exhaustion to shock to even death. 

In many areas of the country, temperatures reach the hundred-degree 

mark on a daily basis and heat stroke is a common occurrence. Regular as 

clockwork, dogs are brought in because the owner was going to run into 

the store for just a minute, got to talking to someone and thirty minutes 

or more pass. In just minutes, a closed car can reach temps of 120-140 

F. A common misconception is that a cracked window is going to make 

a difference. Take the test yourself. Let the dog out of the car, roll down 

the window 2 inches and YOU set in there for 30 or so minutes with the 

engine off. Always remember, you have the option of getting out, your 

dog doesn’t. 

Another common problem seen with dogs in the summer, are the 

owners that like to let their dogs ride in the back of a truck. The number of 

instances where dogs have fallen out or been dragged behind a vehicle 

are staggering. If the results of falling out at 70 MPH weren’t enough, get 

a piece of sheet metal, set it out in the yard on a hot, sunshiny day and lay 

on it for several hours. Rolling every once in a while to get the full effect 

of course. Burns to skin and the pads of feet are very common in dogs left 

to ride shotgun. 

Animals tied up to trees, trailers and posts are also high risk. In this 

scenario, dogs are not the only ones at risk. Owners often tie up horses, 

goats, lambs, ponies and all types of livestock never making sure that 

there is nothing the pet can get tangled up on. Never realizing, tangled 

ropes or chains make it impossible to reach shade or water.

The natural tendencies of cats are to be self-sufficient. As long as they 

have shade and a fresh water supply, they can take care of themselves. 

It is when owners want to take them places or try to put them in cages 

outside, problems occur. There are many who will scoff at the idea of 

having cats in cages, don’t, it happens. 

Make sure if your pet is outside in the summer heat that there is plenty 

of shade and water! 

SUN SAFETY TIPS FOR CAMPERS 

A few, easy sun protection measures can help all campers, counselors 

and staff avoid any immediate or long-term effects of sun exposure. 

• Use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 on all exposed skin, including 

the lips, daily even on cloudy days; apply sunscreen about 20 minutes 

before being exposed to the sun; reapply sunscreen frequently (at least 

twice a day) and thoroughly. 

• Stay away from the sun in the middle of the day. Schedule outdoor 

activities before 10 AM and after 4 PM. 

• Encourage everyone to wear a wide-brim hat. 

• Try to wear clothes that protect your skin (ideally long-sleeve shirts and 

long pants) and sunglasses. 

• Practice the “shadow rule” - seek shade when your shadow is shorter 

than you are tall. 

• Speak out: talk to your family and friends about sun protection. 

• Be especially careful if you have fair skin, freckles or numerous moles; 

blond, red or light-brown hair; blue, green or gray eyes; a tendency to 

burn easily and to tan little or not at all and a family history of skin cancer. 

There is no quick cure for minor sunburn. But wet compresses, tub baths 

and soothing lotions may provide some relief.

KATY ISD APPOINTS TWO NEW PRINCIPALS 

FOR 2020-21 ACADEMIC YEAR 

During tonight’s Katy Independent School District Board of Trustees 

meeting, Trustees confirmed the appointment of two new leaders for 

Shafer and Bear Creek elementary schools. Stephanie McElroy has been 

named the principal of Bear Creek Elementary and Shannon Smith was 

announced as the new principal for Shafer Elementary. Both individuals 

will begin their new leadership roles in the upcoming weeks. 

Ms. Stephanie McElroy began 

her teaching career in Katy 

ISD in 1998 as a fifth grade 

teacher where she taught 

Reading. In 2006, Ms. McElroy 

made a career move to Sealy 

Independent School District to 

become a high school assistant 

principal at Selman Intermediate 

School. Shortly afterwards, her 

leadership skills and love for 

education lead her to become 

the principal at that same school. 

In 2009, Ms. McElroy continued 

her administrative duties, this 

time as the Associate Principal of 

Curriculum and Development for 

Fort Bend Independent School 

District at Sartartia Middle 

School. She remained there until 

2015. At that time, she became the principal at Navarro Middle 

School in the Lamar Consolidated School District. Ms. McElroy 

received her Bachelor’s Degree from Sam Houston State University 

and her Master’s Degree from University of Houston in Clear Lake. 

Ms. Shannon Smith began her 

teaching career at Berry Middle 

School in 2005 in Mesquite, 

Texas. In 2009, she became the 

Testing Coordinator at the same 

campus. A year later, Smith was 

named the Assistant Principal 

at Sherman High School in 

Sherman, Texas. She remained 

in that position until 2012, when 

she relocated to the Cypress 

Fairbanks Independent School 

District, where she returned 

to teaching. In 2015, Smith 

joined Katy ISD to take on the 

role of Assistant Principal at 

Exley Elementary. Three years 

later, Smith joined the Taylor 

Mustangs as their assistant principal. Ms. Smith received her Bachelor’s 

degree from Texas Tech University and her Master’s Degree from Texas 

A&M Commerce.

KATY ISD EDUCATION FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES TEACHER GRANT RECIPIENTS - 

MILESTONE $2 MILLION GIVEN IN EIGHT YEARS WITH $348,087 AWARDED THIS YEAR 

The Katy ISD Education Foundation recently announced its eighth year of Inspiring Imagination teacher grant recipients. Thanks to the faithful giving 

of its investors and broad-based community support, the Foundation kept its promise to a record number of teacher grant applicants. More than 350 

Katy ISD teachers at 44 different campuses were awarded teacher grants this year. Grant activities range from fine motor skill equipment to swine 

lungs and medical mannequins and extend to all subjects and grade levels. Funding will be provided for the 2020-2021 school year. 

The Foundation exists to raise support for and manage its Inspiring Imagination teacher grant program, an initiative that funds innovative 

classroom instruction not possible within the parameters of a school district budget. Grant funds are raised through annual pledges from business 

and community investors, one-time contributions and Foundation-hosted events: Fireflies & Foodtrucks, GROOVE and Reason2Race. The Katy ISD 

Education Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) organization for which donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. To learn more, 

contact foundation@katyisd.org, 281-396-6031 or visit www.katyisdeducationfoundation.org. 

KATY ISD HONORS 2019-2020 VOLUNTEERS - DRUM ROLL PLEASE... 

Katy ISD’s Volunteers in Public Schools initiative is continuing the tradition of honoring thousands of school district volunteers who donate their time 

supporting Katy ISD students and teachers. “Our giant volunteer family helps make Katy ISD exceptional by providing additional support to staff and 

faculty so teachers can spend their time teaching! It is our joy to celebrate the impact volunteers bring and have brought for years,” said Janet Theis, 

Katy ISD Executive Director of Community Partnerships. This year, as a thank you to all Katy ISD volunteers, the district’s Partners in Education team is 

virtually presenting its annual VIPS Celebration event finale featuring exceptionally talented Katy ISD drum line students. Katy ISD salutes its army of 

incredible volunteers. Because of you, the beat goes on. District-wide drum line entertainment was provided by Katy ISD student percussionists from 

every high school, led by Seven Lakes High School Assistant Band Director, Mr. Allen Vinson. 

Volunteers in Public Schools, a Katy ISD Partners in Education program, offers moms, dads, family and community members a wide variety of volunteer 

opportunities at their chosen campus. To learn more, visit Partners in Education under the “Community” tab at www.katyisd.org or contact your campus

KATY/WEST HOUSTON RESIDENTS TO 

JOIN 2020 WALK TO END ALZHEIMER’S® 

Participants will Raise Critically Needed Awareness and Funds for 

Alzheimer’s Care, Support and Research. The Alzheimer’s Association® 

is invitingKaty, Fulshear, Cypress, Richmond and other West Houston 

area residents to join the fight to end Alzheimer’s by participating in the 

Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s. The Walk will take place 

on Saturday, September 26, 2020,at La Centerra Shopping Center in Katy, 

Texas. On walk day, participants will honor those affected by Alzheimer’s 

disease with Promise Flowers during the poignant Promise Garden 

Ceremony - a moving display of hope to represent the personal reasons 

participants join together to fight Alzheimer’s. 

This year’s challenge is whether we will be able to come together of 1,300 

walkers or not. So we have two plans - Plan A is to have the big event. Plan 

B is to have a virtual event that may be held in various neighborhoods, 

businesses, schools and other smaller communities where people can 

come together and Walk to End Alzheimer’s. In addition to the 3-mile 

walk, participants will enjoy a fun-filled experience that includes valuable 

information, celebrations, entertainment, corporate sponsors and so 

much more. 

Participants can join a team or register to walk as an individual at www. 

alz.org/walk.

NATIONAL CELL PHONE COURTESY MONTH 

National Cell Phone Courtesy Month during July encourages us to 

evaluate our cellular habits and consider others before we reach for 

our phone. Our phones have become an integral part of our lives. We 

schedule events organize shopping lists order birthday presents and 

communicate all from this one, small device. Do we even make a phone 

call any more? 

Phone courtesy has always been in fashion, but when they became 

smart, it seems we lost a few brain cells. National Cell Phone Courtesy 

Month strives to bring polite phone usage back in style. 

DOS AND DON’TS 

Silent the phone whenever you’re spending time with anyone. That 

includes work, a meal, meeting or with family. If you are attending a 

performance of any kind, turn the phone off. There are exceptions to this 

rule for medical professionals or other expectant emergency situations. 

Hidden phones are forgotten phones. We pay attention to the people 

in the room, the performance or the meeting. It’s also a signal to the 

people we are with that they are important to us. 

Step away if you do need to take a call. No one needs to hear your 

conversation while trying to enjoy a meal for two. 

Shhh. Monitor the volume of your voice. Even when you step away, 

voices carry. 

Pause before sending emails, texts or social media posts. Consider 

the content, especially if it is posted in haste. Ask yourself the following 

questions. Sometimes just the need to ask will be all the answer you need 

before deleting the comment or text: Will I regret sending this later? Am I 

angry? Will this hurt someone? Is this appropriate? Will this affect my job 

or relationship? 

Don’t use your phone and drive. Many states prohibit cellular use or 

limit it to hands-free only. Any message can wait until you arrive at your 

destination. If it truly is urgent, pull to a safe stopping area to receive the 

message or call. 

Don’t let your mobile device become a social hindrance. We often 

look to our phone for social engagement when we don’t know what else 

to do. Meet new people when you are in a new circle of people and begin 

networking with the people near you. Expand your social circle face to 

face and broaden the world around you. 

Our phones are tools. They shouldn’t replace every social context 

in our lives. Practice a little courtesy and gain improved relationships 

everywhere you go. Encourage your friends and families to join you 

throughout the month.

NATIONAL WATERPARK DAY 

On July 28 th , laughter and fun are just a couple of 

the requirements on National Waterpark Day! We 

recommend bathing suits, too! 

Waterparks around the world provide thrilling, 

water plunging rides for those who seek the whiteknuckle 

hydro powered slides. For those who prefer 

to relax and unwind, lazy rivers, wave pools and 

spas in tropical scenes satisfy these vacationers. 

With so many options to choose from, waterparks 

can be more than just a portion of a vacation. They 

can be the destination. In the United States, nearly 

every state has a waterpark. The Wisconsin Dells is 

the Waterpark Capital of the World and the largest 

indoor park in America is currently at Kalahari 

Resorts and Conventions in the Pocono Mountains, 

Pennsylvania. 

From the youngest family member to grandma and 

grandpa, there’s a splashable, relaxable experience 

for all. On National Waterpark Day, enjoy all the 

memory making waterparks have to offer! 

Don’t wait! The water is perfect at a waterpark near 

you. Grab your bathing suit and make a splash!
