NATIONAL GRANDPARENTS
DAY SEPTEMBER 12TH
Each year on the Sunday following Labor Day, grandchildren across the
country honor their grandparents. There is a special bond that can only
be shared between grandchildren and their grandparents. Grandparents
are full of hugs and kisses, family history, wisdom, patience, love
and guidance. National Grandparents Day gives grandchildren the
opportunity to show love and appreciation to their grandparents.
National Grandparents Day has its very own song. The National
Grandparents Day Council of Chula Vista, California announced in 2004
that A Song for Grandma and Grandpa by Johnny Prill would be the official
song of the United States National Grandparents Day holiday. The Council
presented Prill with the National Songwriter’s Award in recognition of his
highly popular composition A Song for Grandma and Grandpa.
The forget-me-not is the official flower for National Grandparents Day.
National Grandparents Day is expected to grow in significance over
the next decade and beyond as the number of grandparents in the
United States rises from 65 million in 2011 to 80 million in 2020 as a
result of the baby boom. Show your appreciation for everything your
grandparents have done for you.

KATY ISD SAVES OVER $4M BY IMPLEMENTING
ENERGY SAVING STRATEGIES
Twenty-four Katy Independent School District campuses have earned the Energy Star
Certification by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and have saved the District
over $4 million to date due to their efforts. Since 2019, Katy ISD has partnered with
Cenergistic, a Texas-based company that helps school districts conserve energy through
strategies that include fine-tuning air conditioning (AC) run times, identifying unused
AC/lighting schedules, overnight equipment checks, updating technology and other
protocols. “Through approved bond projects, the Katy ISD Operations Division has
been able to install new equipment that is both energy-efficient and more reliable for
campuses and District facilities,” said Chief Operations Officer Ted Vierling. “Small changes
such as upgrading lighting from old technology to light-emitting diode (LED) to larger
adjustments such as replacing boilers and chillers have improved efficiency for both
energy and water consumption,” added Vierling. Over the past three years, Katy ISD has
committed to making energy conservation a priority due to the rising cost of electricity,
gas and water. Every dollar saved on these utilities amounts to greater funding that can
be redirected to classrooms, teachers and students. Looking to sustain conservation
efforts now and well into the future, all new Katy ISD facilities are built with energyefficient
components such as LED lighting, automatic shut-off switches for classroom
lighting, upgraded control systems and utilization of natural light whenever practical.
The following campuses have been awarded the Energy Star Certification:
Elementary Campuses:, Alexander Elementary, Bear Creek Elementary, Cimarron
Elementary, Creech Elementary, Davidson Elementary, Fielder Elementary, Golbow
Elementary, Griffin Elementary, Hayes Elementary, Jenks Elementary, Leonard Elementary,
McRoberts Elementary, Randolph Elementary, Shafer Elementary, Sundown Elementary,

KATY ISD SMART RESTART AND
SPEAKUP CAMPAIGNS RECOGNIZED
BY STATE AND NATIONAL
ORGANIZATIONS
The National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA)
recently recognized the Katy Independent School District
Communication Department with a Golden Achievement
Award for its exemplary work on the District’s Smart Restart -
Return to School campaign, which was executed during the
COVID-19 pandemic. The campaign focused on educating
and engaging students, parents, staff and community
members on the return to school plan, safety protocols
and evolving initiatives impacted by the pandemic. Also
this year, the Texas School Public Relations Association
(TSPRA) awarded the Communications Department with
a Gold Star Award, the highest school public relations
honor in the state, for the District’s SpeakUp Safe Schools
campaign - a multi-level marketing and communication
initiative designed to build awareness around safety
topics; encourage the use of the SpeakUp anonymous
reporting app; emphasize student ownership of safety
protocols; educate parents; and reinforce drug and alcohol
awareness. Print and promotional materials included
posters, public service announcements (PSA) videos and
website and social media messaging. Additionally, a Best of
Category Award was earned for the Department’s scripting,
editing and filming of the PSA video titled “Vaping, It’s Up
to You,” which was part of the campaign.
“Clear, concise and timely messaging for our school
community has always been a key component to our
District’s outreach efforts,” said Dr. Andrea Grooms, Chief
Communications Officer. “While our Communications
team is small, their responsibilities are immense and their
outcomes, far-reaching. They are an extremely talented
and dedicated group of professionals - always prioritizing
the informational needs of Katy ISD families and staff, no
matter the time or circumstances,” added Grooms. The Katy
ISD Communication Department was recognized during
the annual TSPRA and NSPRA conventions this year.
DONATUTORS
Donatutors is a nonprofit tutoring organization that
donates 100% of our proceeds to charity. All of our
tutors are straight-A students at Seven Lakes High
school and we offer a multitude of courses like creative
writing, computer science, biology, public speaking,
ICTW writing and many different math courses too. We
charge $20 per class, but the first one is free! For more
information, check out donatutors.com or email us at
donatutors@gmail.com. What’s even cooler is that this
summer Donatutors was able to raise $1,283 which
we used 70% to give to a Houston based charity called
NAMI and 30% to buy a bunch of masks and canned
food for donation. Please check us out!

Ingredients
4 cups shredded cabbage*
1 cup shredded carrots (2 medium)*
¼ cup thinly sliced green onions (2)
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
6 purchased or homemade corn muffins
¼ cup butter, melted
14 ounces frozen cooked, breaded chicken breast fillets,
prepared according to package directions
1 15.5-22 ounce can barbecue beans
1 ½ cups chopped green, yellow, and/or red tomatoes (2
large)
¾ cup bottled ranch salad dressing
* If desired, substitute 5 cups packaged shredded cabbage with
carrot (coleslaw mix) for cabbage and carrots.
Directions
Step 1: For slaw, in a large bowl combine cabbage, carrots,
and green onions; toss to mix. In a small bowl stir together
mayonnaise, sugar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add dressing
to cabbage mixture, tossing to combine. Cover and chill for 2
hours, stirring occasionally.
Step 2: Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375°F. Cut corn muffins into
1-inch cubes. Place cubes in a large shallow baking pan; drizzle
with melted butter, tossing to coat. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes or
until crisp, stirring twice. Set aside.
Step 3: Transfer slaw mixture to an 8- to 10-cup clear glass bowl.
Cut chicken into strips. Arrange chicken strips evenly over slaw.
Spoon beans over chicken pieces, spreading evenly. Sprinkle
corn muffin cubes over beans. Top with tomatoes. If desired,
cover and chill for up to 6 hours.
Step 4: Just before serving, spoon dressing over all.
