KATY ISD’S PARTNERS IN EDUCATION<br />
LAUNCHES FIRST EVER FOOD FOR FAMILIES-<br />
SCHOOL’S OUT CAMPAIGN<br />
Katy ISD’s Partners in Education is inviting the community to bring hope<br />
to families who could use some extra help this summer. For the first time<br />
ever, the Food for Families program is expanding to include support for<br />
Katy ISD families in need over the summer too. Partners in Education is<br />
working with all the Katy ISD junior high schools for this summer launch.<br />
The Katy ISD junior high campuses help to identify students for the<br />
program and Partners in Education collects community and corporate<br />
donations. Food for Families - School’s Out will benefit those select<br />
Katy ISD junior high families in need this summer. Those interested in<br />
supporting Food for Families can contribute online or via check, remitted<br />
to “Katy ISD Food for Families” and mailed to Partners in Education, Katy<br />
ISD ESC, 6301 South Stadium Lane, Katy, TX 77494. Food for Families is<br />
a community initiative raising monetary donations to purchase grocery<br />
gift cards for Katy ISD students and their families in need over the<br />
holidays and NOW over the summer. Cards are distributed to students<br />
before school is out with a note of best wishes from our community. In<br />
the 2020 holiday season, Food for Families raised over $60,000. Since its<br />
inception in 2002, this initiative has raised over $300,000 and assisted<br />
more than 6,300 families.<br />
Food for Families, a Katy ISD Partners in Education yearly initiative,<br />
unites our Katy ISD staff and community in support for select students<br />
and their families. To learn more, visit Partners in Education under the<br />
“Community” tab at www.katyisd.org or contact Tammy Stringer, 281-<br />

BOARD OF TRUSTEES LOOK TO MOVE FORWARD<br />
WITH FUTURE KATY ISD VIRTUAL HIGH SCHOOL<br />
Katy Independent School District is preparing to move forward with the<br />
establishment of a virtual high school after trustees discussed and voted<br />
to approve the item at tonight’s Regular Board Meeting, pending future<br />
guidance and funding from the state. The Katy ISD Virtual High School would<br />
be tuition-free and considered a full-time stand-alone virtual high school<br />
campus. The virtual high school criteria and student eligibility include:<br />
• The virtual campus would have its own Texas Education Agency (TEA)<br />
campus code.<br />
• Students would be required to submit an online application during a<br />
designated window of time.<br />
• Students would need to meet the required criteria for acceptance into<br />
the virtual high school.<br />
• Enrollment in the virtual high school would be for one calendar school<br />
year. Students would be able to elect to withdraw and return to their home<br />
campus during the summer and before the start of a new school year.<br />
• Students would graduate from the Katy ISD virtual high school and<br />
would earn a GPA, class rank (top 10%) and quartile rank with their virtual<br />
school cohort.<br />
• Students attending the virtual high school would not be eligible to<br />
participate in their home campus UIL and/or extracurricular activities.<br />
This past April, the District sought input from parents of secondary students<br />
through an interest survey. More than 1,200 responses were received from<br />
parents who expressed an interest in their child(ren) attending a standalone<br />
virtual high school during the <strong>2021</strong>-22 school year.<br />

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

Fried Chicken<br />
You could make this on National Fried Chicken Day <strong>July</strong> 6th!<br />
INGREDIENTS:<br />
2 to 3 pounds chicken, cut into pieces<br />
3 cups all-purpose flour<br />
5 tbsp. seasoned salt<br />
3 tbsp. garlic powder<br />
Salt and pepper to taste<br />
4 eggs, beaten<br />
Vegetable oil for frying<br />
DIRECTIONS:<br />
In a shallow plate or bowl, mix the flour, seasoned salt, garlic powder, salt<br />
and pepper. Roll or shake the chicken pieces in the flour mixture and place<br />
on a platter. Then dip each chicken piece in the egg and roll again in flour<br />
mixture.<br />
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry<br />
coated chicken pieces in hot oil for about 5 minutes on each side. Cover<br />
skillet and cook on lower heat for about 10 minutes. Remove cover, turn<br />
up heat and fry for 5 minutes on each side to make chicken crispy. Chicken<br />
is done when it is no longer pink inside and its juices run clear. Drain fried<br />
chicken on paper towels and keep warm in oven until ready to serve.<br />

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk<br />
2/3 cup chocolate syrup<br />
2 cups heavy cream<br />
DIRECTIONS:<br />
Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with aluminum foil. In a large bowl, stir<br />
together condensed milk and chocolate syrup until color is even. In<br />
a separate bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks form. Fold cream into<br />
chocolate mixture and pour all into prepared pan. Cover and freeze 6<br />

JULY IS NATIONAL ICE CREAM MONTH<br />
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated <strong>July</strong> as National Ice Cream<br />
Month and the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day.<br />
He recognized ice cream as a fun and nutritious food that is enjoyed by<br />
over 90 percent of the nation’s population. In the proclamation, President<br />
Reagan called for all people of the United States to observe these events<br />
with “appropriate ceremonies and activities.” The International Ice Cream<br />
Association (IICA) encourages retailers and consumers to celebrate<br />
<strong>July</strong> as National Ice Cream Month. About 10.3 percent of all the milk<br />
produced by U.S. dairy farmers is used to produce ice cream, contributing<br />
significantly to the economic well-being of the nation’s dairy industry.<br />

BASIC GRILL TIPS<br />
1. Always grill in a well-ventilated area away from shrubs, buildings and<br />
overhangs such as awnings or patio umbrellas.<br />
2. Never leave a lighted grill unattended.<br />
3. Keep young children and animals away from the grill.<br />
4. Wait until the charcoals begin to turn white before you start to grill<br />
(approximately 40 minutes).<br />
5. Never use kerosene or gasoline to start a charcoal fire in the grill. Avoid<br />
using chemical starters or chemically treated briquettes as well, as they<br />
will affect the taste of your food.<br />
6. To start a fire, pile the briquettes in a pyramid shape. Once hot, however,<br />
they may be distributed in a single layer across the grill.<br />
7. Place the rack of the grill at least five inches above the coals.<br />
8. Always have a pair of fire-resistant cooking mitts handy and use longhandled<br />
tongs while cooking.<br />
9. Fire flare-ups can be avoided by raising the height of the grill rack or<br />
closing the vents of a covered grill. A spray bottle filled with water is also<br />
helpful to have around. Gas- or electric-grill flare-ups can be controlled<br />
by lowering the heat thermostat.<br />
10. To make a charcoal grill hotter, either move the coals together,<br />
open the grill vents partially if closed, lower the height of the grill rack<br />
or add more dry briquettes to the fire. Never add briquettes that are<br />
precoated with a fire-starter fluid to the existing hot coals.<br />
11. Try not to turn fish fillets on the grill more than once, as they are<br />
delicate and may fall apart.<br />
12. Most important, don’t be afraid and have fun while you’re grilling. You<br />
will be a pro by summer’s end.<br />
GARDEN TIPS FOR JULY<br />
• Plant fall flowering annuals where your spring annuals have bloomed<br />
out. Set our seeds like zinnia, marigold, cosmos, petunia and portulaca so<br />
you’ll have color until frost. Don’t let seedlings dry out.<br />
• In summer, prune roses to keep them in shape. Continue black spot and<br />
insect treatments. Water 2” once per week.<br />
• Remove spent crepe myrtle flowers to prolong bloom production.<br />
• Weeds rob plants of valuable water, nutrients--remove them.<br />
• Great sun/heat-lovers include coral honeysuckle, coreopsis, lantana,<br />
oleanders and hamelia.<br />
• Fertilize flowers lightly, if at all; too hot for heavy feedings.<br />
• Water your lawn longer but less frequent. Deep water of about 2 - 3” per<br />
week forces plant roots to grow down, instead of sideways into sunbaked<br />
upper soil levels. Use a bowl in your yard to measure during waterings.<br />
