ALL 12 CFISD HIGH SCHOOLS<br />

RECEIVE LTE 1:1 CHROMEBOOKS<br />

All 12 CFISD high schools have received Chromebooks for students as<br />

part of the district’s LTE (Learning Together Everywhere) 1:1 program.<br />

Rollouts began before the Thanksgiving holiday and were completed<br />

before winter break. More than 75,000 CFISD students have received a<br />

Chromebook, which includes 100% of high school students having their<br />

own device. In addition, 52% of elementary students and 46% of middle<br />

school students have received their individually issued Chromebook.<br />

CFISD has met all requests of CFISD Connect students who indicated a<br />

need for a device in order to be successful while learning remotely.<br />

“Successfully deploying individually issued Chromebooks to all<br />

high school students in CFISD is an incredible feat that could not be<br />

accomplished without the support of the community and the CFISD<br />

Board of Trustees,” said Katie Gentry, director of 1:1 and inventory systems.<br />

“These devices will enable teachers to transform learning anytime,<br />

anywhere, allowing students to reach their full potential for college and<br />

career readiness. The spirit of CFISD was evident in this project as many<br />

departments stepped up and heeded the call to think outside the box to<br />

make this happen in an expedient manner for our high school students<br />

across the district.”<br />

In a special-called meeting on July 7 th , the CFISD Board of Trustees<br />

unanimously voted in favor of authorizing the superintendent to approve<br />

the purchase of portable electronic devices, LTE internet access and<br />

other items needed to support a one-to-one solution for CFISD students.<br />

The LTE 1:1 program provides every student with an electronic device to<br />

support quality instruction and resources. The program allows CFISD to<br />

meet the needs of all students by providing appropriate teacher-directed<br />

instruction, including real-time live virtual instruction.<br />

ICONIC FIGHTER JET TO BE REFURBISHED AND UNVEILED BY THE AMERICAN LEGION POST 521<br />

“ONE MORE MISSION” - COATING SOCIETY OF HOUSTON MEMBERS TAKE PROJECT TO COMPLETION<br />

On July 29, 1984 American Legion Post 521 received a F4D Fighter Jet from the Air Force Reclamation Center and dedicated it to all POW’s and MIA’s<br />

from all wars and conflicts involving the United States of America. Recently, the Post reached out to the Coating Society of Houston for assistance in<br />

refurbishing this iconic piece of memorabilia, which was showing extreme decay due to local weather conditions.<br />

“We have been working getting this plane restored for several years and were finally able to find a group that was willing to donate their time and<br />

materials to helping us,” said Joseph Thomas, 22 nd District Commander of the American Legion Department of Texas.<br />

CREATE A LIGHT JAR<br />

Get Mason jars, mayo or pickle jars or even some vases and I use<br />

the battery operated string lights to make “normal” decorations. In<br />

one, along with the lights, I have the glass beads you can get at<br />

the dollar store in many colors, in another I have seashells we got<br />

in Galveston. I am sure you can find something that would match<br />

your own home and style to place in these.<br />

So if you are like me and just need that pick-me-up of some bright<br />

twinkling lights once the decorations are all down, make one or<br />

more of these and have them year round!<br />

HOW DOES CURBSIDE HOLDS PICK-UP WORK?<br />

Here’s how it works: When you receive notification that your holds are<br />

ready for pick-up, call your HCPL pick-up location. Please have your<br />

library card number and PIN handy. You will be given a pick-up time and<br />

instructions for curbside pick-up (These may vary slightly from branch to<br />

branch). When you arrive at the library, follow the instructions you were<br />

provided over the phone. You may be asked to show your library card or<br />

other form of ID for verification.<br />

Note: Library staff will not be able to take your returns during curbside<br />

pick-up, please put them in the book drop. For your safety and that of<br />

HCPL staff, curbside pick-up may be temporarily suspended during bad<br />

weather.<br />

NATIONAL LIBRARY LOVER’S MONTH<br />

The entire month of <strong>February</strong> is dedicated to the people who love whole<br />

buildings devoted to the reading, housing organizing, categorizing, finding,<br />

studying and otherwise loving books. It’s National Library Lover’s Month!<br />

Libraries provide so much more than a place for us to enjoy great novels<br />

or to discover amazing adventures and untold history. Yes, they help us<br />

ace our research papers and provide a quiet space to study, but they do<br />

so much more.<br />

For preschoolers, libraries entertain them with theater and hands-on<br />

activities exposing them to music, art and their first friendships. Many<br />

communities rely on their libraries for meeting space for public forums,<br />

socials, fundraisers and classes.<br />

Libraries lend not only books but music and movies. Rotating art displays<br />

give local artists exposure to the community. Larger libraries provide<br />

preservation services, preserving some of the most treasured books,<br />

periodicals and documents for future generations.<br />

Continue enjoying your library, but consider volunteering your time, too.<br />

If you don’t have a library card, it’s never too late! Visit your library to get<br />

one! Use #NationalLibraryLoversDay to share on social media.<br />

TREES AND SHRUBS<br />

• Finish all transplanting, get everything in the ground for a good spring<br />

spurt of growth. Transplant balled and burlap, container-grown, bare-root<br />

deciduous evergreen trees, shrubs, roses and vines while still dormant.<br />

• Finish pruning roses. Weed and cultivate lightly all beds. Replenish<br />

mulch as needed.<br />

• Control early spring insects like thrips on glads and aphids on young<br />

tender growth. Spray with Malathion, Diazinon or Orthene.<br />

• At the end of <strong>February</strong>: peach, apple and pear fruit must be thinned to<br />

insure quality production at harvest.<br />

• Give groundcovers a haircut. They will spread faster.<br />

• Divide daylilies, daisies and other perennials now.<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.<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. In 1994, Congressman John<br />

Porter established <strong>February</strong> as National Bird Feeding Month due to the<br />

harsh conditions endured during one of the coldest months of the year.<br />
