KATY VIRTUAL SCHOOL RECOGNIZED FOR<br />
OUTSTANDING DISTANCE LEARNING<br />
At Katy Independent School District, online learning has become<br />
an increasingly popular and effective method of education, by<br />
both students and parents, because of the expanded learning<br />
opportunities available. Due to its commitment to offer distance<br />
education, the District’s Katy Virtual School (KVS) has been<br />
recognized by the Texas Distance Learning Association (TxDLA)<br />
as the <strong>2021</strong> K-12 winner of the Outstanding Commitment to<br />
Excellence and Innovation in Distance Education recognition.<br />
“Katy ISD was the only K-12 school district in Texas to receive such<br />
a prestigious award,” said Susan Richards, Katy ISD Instructional<br />
Technology e-Learning Manager. “KVS has expanded over the years<br />
to provide secondary students quality instruction outside of normal<br />
school hours and during the summer to support their graduation<br />
plans,” added Richards.<br />
KVS launched in 2013 with a primary goal of offering choice and<br />
flexibility for rigorous online courses developed and taught by Katy<br />
ISD teachers. Over 45 Advanced Placement (AP), Katy Advanced<br />
Program and academic level courses were available to students<br />
this year with more courses being added each year. Just last year,<br />
over 4,000 students utilized KVS to reach their educational goals.<br />
KVS is a different program from the recently developed Katy Virtual<br />
Academy (KVA), which was created for online learning during the<br />
pandemic.<br />

KATY’S NEWEST FILMMAKING AND ANIMATION<br />
CAMP CREATED BY SLHS ALUMNI<br />
Howdy! Our names are Kai, Cazden, Robbie and Jack, we are four SLHS<br />
Alumni and Texas Film School Graduates. For the past year we have<br />
been creating Katy’s newest and only Animation and Filmmaking camp,<br />
Creator Camp! Our goal is to share with students the wonders of film and<br />
animation without the dullness of note taking and lectures. We designed<br />
our 3-day camps so that students will learn hands-on and in real-time,<br />
creating Special effects, Green Screen effects, Sound effects and loads<br />
more. Each day, students will come home with a new movie they created<br />
themselves and on the last day we will transform a classroom into a<br />
mock Oscars Film Festival where your child will pick their favorite film<br />
that they made to be shown on the big screen! We are running our first<br />
camps this summer and we would love to have some support from the<br />
local community to get us off to a good start. Camps are held at Mirus<br />
Academy Katy, 5561 3 rd St, Katy, TX 77493 and Each camper will receive a<br />
free shirt and goody bag. Two Sessions will be held this summer:<br />
Session 1: <strong>June</strong> 28 th -30 th : 8:30 AM-3:30 PM<br />
Session 2: July 20 th -22 nd : 8:30 AM-3:30 PM<br />
If your child is interested in filmmaking or animation please visit our site<br />
at CreatorCamp.org.<br />

ROSE THERAPEUTIC FARM AND GOAT YOGA<br />
SUMMER CAMPS<br />
ROSE Therapeutic Farm Summer Camps are an exciting way to light<br />
up any young person’s summer. Our camps provide unique, hands-on<br />
opportunities for learning, growth, and fun. Campers spend their time<br />
here immersed in the natural world, with animals and the environment.<br />
Each camp is loaded with creative, enriching activities meant to help<br />
your kiddos connect with nature and learn how to enjoy “the simple life.”<br />
This is meant to be a real farm/ranch life experience so we will get dirty!<br />
We will also be outside all day. We have a large barn where we will do our<br />
crafts, eat lunch and other activities but it is not air-conditioned. Please<br />
have your kiddos dress accordingly. If they don’t like being outdoors or<br />
getting dirty, this may not be the camp for them.<br />
* 1 to 4 day sessions available.<br />
*Our camps are geared toward children ages 6 – 12.<br />
*Each camp will have 18 or less participants. We must have at least 5<br />
campers to start each camp.<br />
Lunch can be provided or you can send a bag lunch with your kiddos.<br />
We have a cooler we will keep these in. We will have access to fresh iced<br />
water all day. Of course you are welcome to send a lunch with your kiddo<br />
if you choose.<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<br />
lights in our air filtration system. We even offered a safe and distanced<br />
indoor concert as well as an indoor offering from our educational touring<br />
unit this past fall. And when those projects proved financially challenging<br />
and COVID numbers spiked again, we created “Light Up the Lot” and<br />
moved all our programming outdoors.<br />
We’ve never given up. We never will give up. But due to circumstances<br />
beyond our control, we find ourselves needing to pivot once more.<br />
Which brings us to the announcement of our virtual season. Go to www.<br />
