MARCH 21ST IS COMMON COURTESY DAY<br />

Queue jumpers, finger clicking… people that board the train carriage<br />

before giving you the chance to get off. What about those people that<br />

never say “please” or people that read your messages but don’t reply for<br />

days? Common Courtesy Day gives people the opportunity to be more…<br />

well, ‘courteous’ - even if it’s just for one day out of the entire year.<br />

In the Merriam-Webster dictionary, courtesy is described as a: behavior<br />

marked by polished manners or respect for others: courteous behavior b:<br />

a courteous and respectful act or expression. Common courtesy can be as<br />

simple as saying “please” and “thank you” when asking for and receiving a<br />

service, gift or assistance. Kindness and courtesy do go a long way and are<br />

noticed by others even if you do not realize it. Letting someone in front<br />

of you in traffic is easy. Hold open a door for someone or give a person a<br />

hand with his groceries. Give up your seat on the bus to someone who<br />

might need it. Introduce yourself to the new employee or kid at school<br />

and take the time to introduce her to the rest of the crew. These are just a<br />

few examples of small things that make a difference to someone else. They<br />

are momentary deeds of being courteous. The aim of Common Courtesy<br />

Day is to practice common courtesy for one day and encourage others<br />

to do the same. According to the Collins English dictionary, Courtesy is<br />

defined as: politeness, respect and consideration for others.<br />

How to Be More Courteous<br />

If common courtesy is not a part of your daily routine, then this is the day<br />

to start implementing courtesy into your life. Try it; not only will the other<br />

person appreciate it, but you will feel good about it also. Practicing daily<br />

kindness will not only make others feel better and reflect positively upon<br />

yourself, it can make you feel good too. Here are some examples of how<br />

you can celebrate Common Courtesy Day:<br />

• Greet people with “good morning” and “good afternoon.”<br />

• Give up your seat for someone who may need it more.<br />

• When you drink the last of the milk in the fridge, replace it.<br />

• Hold the door.<br />

• Place the cardboard tube from the toilet paper holder in the bin and<br />

replace with fresh roll.<br />

• Refill the printer with paper when it runs out.<br />

• Pay someone a compliment.<br />

• When you ‘borrow’ a pen, actually give it back.<br />

• Contact someone you’ve not spoken to in a while.<br />

• Complain less.<br />

• Instead of getting mad, appreciate that the person that just barked at<br />

you is probably just having a bad day.<br />

• Feed the homeless.<br />

• Do a spot of cleaning at home or at work.<br />

• Leave someone a ‘thank you’ note.<br />

• Respect the environment - don’t litter and maybe consider walking to<br />

work instead of driving.<br />

The founder of Common Courtesy Day is a complete mystery, but we<br />

can’t argue that this is an amazing opportunity for us to implement more<br />

courtesy into our daily lives.<br />

KATY ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES CALL<br />

FOR A MAY <strong>2021</strong> SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION<br />

The Katy ISD Board of Trustees approved to hold a general election in<br />

May <strong>2021</strong> for a three-year term in Positions 6 and 7.<br />

• Early Voting by Personal Appearance: Mon, April 19 to Tues, April 27, <strong>2021</strong><br />

• Election Day: Saturday, May 1, <strong>2021</strong><br />

Currently, Position 6 is being held by Susan Gesoff and Position 7 is held<br />

by Dawn Champagne. State law requires a candidate for trustee of an<br />

independent school district to be a qualified voter by the time mentioned<br />

in Election Code Section 141.001. Katy ISD trustees are the governing body<br />

of the school district and are the main advising group that oversees and<br />

shapes policies. Individuals serving as Board members are not employees<br />

of Katy ISD, yet they dedicate countless hours to lead an A+ school district.<br />

KATY VIRTUAL SCHOOL REGISTRATION OPEN<br />

For students, virtual classes are an excellent way to acquire graduation credits<br />

and/or expand their learning opportunities. Last year, over 4,000 students<br />

utilized the Katy Virtual School (KVS) program offered by the Katy Independent<br />

School District. KVS launched in 2013 with a primary goal of expanding the<br />

learning opportunities for students by offering choice and flexibility for rigorous<br />

online courses developed and taught by Katy ISD teachers. KVS has begun<br />

online registration for Summer <strong>2021</strong>, Fall <strong>2021</strong> and Spring 2022 semesters.<br />

“KVS provides online learning that offers a flexible, online experience, which<br />

helps students achieve their educational goals,” said Susan Richards, Katy ISD<br />

Instructional Technology e-Learning Manager. “The virtual model of e-learning<br />

is in high demand and delivers quality instruction to Katy ISD students, outside<br />

of normal school hours, to support student graduation plans. KVS is different<br />

from the current Katy Virtual Academy (KVA), which is the online learning<br />

model implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” added Richards.<br />

KVS will offer a wide range of courses from Creative Writing, AP Art<br />

History, English III, World Geography, Economics, Psychology and more.<br />

There are over 30 Advanced Placement (AP), Katy Advanced Program<br />

(KAP) and academic level courses available to students with additional<br />

opportunities being added each year. The cost per course is $200 per<br />

semester. KVS is an approved College Board online provider for Advanced<br />

Placement (AP) courses and by the NCAA for student initial eligibility.<br />

For more information, students can talk with their campus counselor for<br />

additional information, email KVS at katyvirtualschool@katyisd.org or<br />

visit the Katy ISD Virtual School website.<br />

Please note: Katy Virtual School and Katy Virtual Academy are two<br />

separate programs. Katy Virtual School is a supplemental program to<br />

help entering or present high school students take courses in advance.<br />

We have done everything we can to try and reopen our doors, including<br />

becoming the first theater in the country to install hospital grade UV lights<br />

in our air filtration system. We even offered a safe and distanced indoor<br />

concert as well as an indoor offering from our educational touring unit<br />

this past fall. And when those projects proved financially challenging and<br />

COVID numbers spiked again, we created “Light Up the Lot” and moved<br />

all our programming outdoors. We’ve never given up. We never will give<br />

up. But due to circumstances beyond our control, we find ourselves<br />

needing to pivot once more. Which brings us to the announcement of<br />

our virtual season. Go to www.adplayers.org for all the information.<br />

INGREDIENTS:<br />

3 cups heavy cream<br />

1/2 cup crushed ice<br />

1 (3.5 ounce) package instant banana pudding mix<br />

1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix<br />

3 bananas, sliced<br />

1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked<br />

DIRECTIONS:<br />

Using an electric mixer, whip 3 cups heavy cream on low speed until<br />

Blueberry Popovers<br />

You could make this on National Blueberry Popover Day <strong>March</strong> 10th!<br />

INGREDIENTS:<br />

3 tablespoons butter, cut into 6 equal-sized pieces<br />

1 cup whole milk<br />

3 eggs, beaten<br />

1/4 cup white sugar<br />

1 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />

1 cup all-purpose flour<br />

1/2 cup fresh blueberries<br />

1 tablespoon white sugar<br />

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon<br />

1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar, or to taste<br />

1 lemon, halved<br />

DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Put a piece of butter<br />

into each of 6 large muffin cups. Put muffin tin in preheated oven until butter melts,<br />

about 5 minutes. Set aside.<br />

Beat milk, eggs, 1/4 cup sugar and vanilla together in a large bowl. Whisk flour into<br />

the milk mixture until you have a batter. Divide batter between muffin cups. Drop<br />

even amounts of blueberries into each batter portion. Stir 1 tablespoon sugar and<br />

cinnamon together in a small bowl, sprinkle evenly over the batter portions.<br />

Bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees<br />

C) and continue baking until popovers are no longer moist in the center, about 25<br />

minutes. Dust tops of popovers with confectioners’ sugar. Squeeze lemon juice over<br />

popovers. Serve warm.<br />

<strong>March</strong> Gardening Tips<br />

VEGETABLES: Plant vegetables such as tomatoes, sweet corn and<br />

snap beans and pepper, as well as cucumbers, lima or butter beans,<br />

cantaloupe, okra (if the soil has warmed sufficiently - 70 degrees F. or<br />

higher), southern peas, pumpkin, squash, peanuts and watermelon.<br />

LAWN: Re-sod or replant as needed with turfgrasses adapted to this<br />

part of Texas and suited to the planting location (shade or sun). • When<br />

resodding semi-shaded areas with St. Augustine, use ONLY the variety<br />

Floratam for best pest resistance. See www.plantanswers.com/grass.htm.<br />

TREES AND SHRUBS: Plant container-grown trees and shrubs as soon as<br />

possible. In shady areas, where grass is difficult to grow, consider planting a<br />

dependable groundcover such as English ivy, Asian jasmine, vinca or one of<br />

the prostrate junipers. • Prune spring flowering and evergreen shrubs during<br />

early <strong>March</strong>. However, be sure to prune spring flowering shrubs after they have<br />

bloomed. • Fertilize with a pre-plant application of a slow-release fertilizer<br />

analysis such as 19 - 5 - 9 at the rate of 3 pounds per 100 square feet of garden<br />

planting area. Early <strong>March</strong> is the ideal time to fertilize landscape plants because<br />

you give them food just before the spring growing season starts.<br />

NATIONAL PLANT A FLOWER DAY - MARCH 12TH<br />

Spring is just around the corner and <strong>March</strong> 12 th is the day to participate<br />

in National Plant a Flower Day. Each year this day is dedicated to the<br />

planting of flowers and looking forward to the spring season. Flower<br />

gardening has become a hobby for many, young and old and National<br />

Plant a Flower Day is a start to the new season each year.<br />

Marigolds and Daffodils are the flowers of this month. It’s good to know<br />

the zone you live in to determine which flowers grow as perennials (those<br />

that grow back every year) in your area and which are considered annuals<br />

(those that require planting every year). To find out more check out the<br />

USDA site for Hardiness Zones.<br />

Seeds can be started inside and set in a sunny window. When the weather<br />

is nicer, move those plants outside. Keep the soil moist, but not wet and<br />

follow the instructions on the seed package for proper germination of<br />

the seedling. For those who can’t wait, get out those seed catalogs and<br />

start planning your next flower garden.<br />

Are you in a warmer climate? Then it’s time to get out the trowel and<br />

the garden gloves and start turning over some new soil. Sow some new<br />

seeds, bulbs or plants and nurture those blossoms into a brilliant blaze<br />

for the whole neighborhood to enjoy.<br />

Tips for Starting a Flower Garden: Start with a potted garden. If you aren’t<br />

ready to tear up a patch of lawn, this is a good way to go. They do require<br />

more watering, but less care overall. • Select plants that grow well in<br />

your spot. Some plants grow well in the shade and others prefer the sun.<br />

Others love both! • Did you know gardeners who prefer perennial gardens<br />

have to thin their flower beds every couple of years? They also like to<br />

share the extra bulbs and seeds with those who are new to gardening,<br />

so if you know someone with a green thumb, get to know them better.<br />

You might get some free plants, advice and a budding friendship! • Local<br />

greenhouses stock plants that grow well in your area. Don’t be afraid to<br />

ask them questions and shop there frequently. • Let’s all work together<br />

by planting a flower and helping make the world a more beautiful place.<br />
