tendent of Schools Dr. Greg Smith. “Do not listen to the doubters who say you can’t do it or you won’t be a starter,” he said. “Just tell them “Get behind me and watch me make it happen”. Show your university what a CCISD athlete and graduate looks like.”
Student Athletes Celebrated at 6th Annual Scholarship Luncheon
CCISD Athletic Director, Debbie Fuchs, closed out the celebration with some final thoughts. “Every single day be the best you can be. Go beyond the game, strive toward athletic excellence, and continue displaying positive character. Always be leaders, and make it count,” she said. The luncheon was made possible by longtime community partner and presenting sponsor, Houston Methodist Clear Lake Hospital. Clear Creek ISD celebrated the athletic and academic accomplishments of 92 students across five high schools during the 6th Annual Scholarship Luncheon. The athletes were awarded scholarships to play at the next level in their respective sports after graduation.
As is tradition at the scholarship luncheon, two former CCISD student athletes returned to share lessons learned from their post-secondary journey with the soon-to-be graduates. Returning home this year was Lauren Veil, Clear Lake High School UIL State Champion in golf and graduate of Wichita State University, and Ashton Duke, 2016 Valedictorian of Clear Creek High School, tennis athlete and graduate of Rice University.
See below for the full list of CCISD College and University Signees: Clear Brook High School:
Cameron Bell - Sul Ross State University, Cedric Cole - University of Mary Hardin Baylor, La’darrion Florez - University of Tulsa, Richard Lewis - Sul Ross State University, Kennedy Crutchfield - University of Houston, Mayce Barker - University of Texas-Permian Basin Clear Creek High School:
“Balancing classes, studying, practices and road games is hard,” said Veil. “Have a plan and a back-up plan. Sometimes things don”t go the way you think they’re going to go so you just need to be prepared with how you’re going to handle any setbacks and don’t get discouraged.”
Calen Anderson - University of St. Thomas, Lauren Sinclair - Arizona Christian University, Bryce Borer - Lakeland University, Peyton Galyean - Seminole State College, Will Norsworthy - Hardin Simmons University, Brianna Aranzeta - Texas Tech University, Hanna Davenport - Ranger College, Maddi Petrella - University of Albany, Tim Holt - Henderson State University, Alejandra Lopez - St. Thomas University, Allie Garland - University of Connecticut, Riley Brantley - Southwestern University
The scholarship recipients also received a little advice from CCISD Superin-

Duke advised the collegiate athletes to go beyond the game at their university home. “Whether it’s joining a club, volunteering or forming a foundation, try to extend yourself during your time there and do something that will make a difference,” he said.

Need Help Minimizing the Cost of Updating Your Home?
Thanks Edrina,
You are certainly the best Realtor I’ve ever worked with! you put your heart and soul into making it work. And getting a contract in one day is just amazing! -JOHN ELBON III, V.P. SPACE EXPLORATION, BOEING We Just Bought and Sold a House with Edrina Fitting’s help, and it was a great experience!! “Edrina guided us on the preparation of the house we wanted to sell by providing insight and ideas on what the buyers would find important, and she even provided recommendations of contractors who could help with some needed repairs. Edrina recommended pricing, which felt a little high to us, but we took her advice and it sold in one day - with multiple offers at and above our asking price! Edrina knows this market and she knows the history of this market. While looking for a house to purchase, Edrina gave us information about the history of each house and she made sure we considered key features of each house that would make it easier, or harder, to sell in the future. Once we selected a house, Edrina negotiated an excellent deal that really minimized our costs. At the end of the day, we had a fantastic new home for less than we had budgeted. It doesn’t get better than that! We are very happy we selected Edrina as our real estate agent for both transactions and truly appreciate her hard work on our behalf ” -David and Mary Granger Previous Bay Forest Resident

This idea is new to St. Thomas, but has been a standard practice in many early child education circles for decades. This new program will exist only for our partial week Pre-K classes, MWF and T-Th classes respectively. Our 5-day-a-week classes will remain as single-age group classes. This class has some different start/pick up times. Families have the option of starting their school day at the regular start time (8:05) or at 9:00, and can pick up at 1:00, 2:15, or 3:15 - with adjusted pricing for each option respectively. Classes for this room are available in 5-day, 3-day, or 2-day-a-week options. Prices start at $200/month. The preschool day will consist of all the typical happenings you would expect in a single-age class: morning circle time, outdoor play, snack, etc. just side by side with younger or older students respectively. Academic lessons (pre-literacy or numeracy skills for example) are taught in small groups of 2-3 children rather than as a whole class. This enables a 3-year-old who is ready to read and count the opportunity to hone those skills, and for 4-year-olds to receive the instruction that will prepare them for kindergarten. For further information, please contact Colin OíNeal, Head of School, at coneal@ stesnb.org or call 281-333-1340.

The Clear Creek Education Foundation (CCEF) visited 67 outstanding CCISD teachers on 27 campuses during the annual Sur-Prize Patrol. Teachers were surprised by the CCEF board members and community partners with Teacher Innovative Grants totaling $125,588 that will impact over 18,290 CCISD students. The Clear Creek Education Foundation awards teachers with grant money through their Teacher Innovative Grant Program, giving them the opportunity to take education to the next level and providing unique, hands-on learning experiences in the classroom. Since the Foundation’s inception in 1992, more than $3.3 million has been distributed district wide in a variety of educational programs. “From virtual reality, archery, drones, coding and STEAM (the arts being added to stem) this years’ Teacher Innovative Grants brought more innovation to the classroom than ever,” stated Executive Director Deborah Laine. “These exciting grants will directly impact students for the 2019-2020 school year. This is the climax of our year to award our teachers these programs that take education to the next level.”
Funding from the Clear Creek Education Foundation is made possible thanks to the many partners of the Foundation, who have come together to Inspire Educational Excellence in CCISD through the Teacher Innovative Grant Program. The Foundation feels the Teacher Innovative Grant Program is a vital and necessary strategy in assisting teachers to maintain the high level of achievement in CCISD. For a full list of grants awarded and sponsors, please visit CCEF’ s website.

Did you know?
• Colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer of men and women combined in the United States. • The disease is largely preventable with screening colonoscopy starting at age 50. • One of the most reliable measures of a “quality” colonoscopy examination for patients is the ability to find polyps and remove them (adenoma detection rate). • Dr. Warneke’s adenoma detection rate consistently exceeds the values recommended by the gastroenterology societies. • This equates to a superior examination for patients.

www.bayareahoustongastro.com Profile of a CCISD Graduate Meet Erynn Richards from Clear Horizons Early College High School
Imagine the stress of starting high school and college simultaneously, all while battling a debilitating condition.
Erynn Richards was only six years old when she found out she had lost all hearing in her left ear.
“My dad took me to the movie theater, and he was trying to talk to me from the left side and I had to completely turn around to hear him,” Erynn said. “So that’s when they knew something wasn’t right and we found out I had no hearing in that ear.” Then, in eighth grade, she began experiencing symptoms of vertigo due to her right ear having to overcompensate for the loss of hearing in the left ear. “I already have no balance in my inner ear on the right, so I began to have these episodes where the room would start spinning if I started to get anxious,” Erynn said.

“My body got immune to the medicine in tenth grade,” Erynn said. “So, the worst of the symptoms started all over again. I began to miss so many days of school.” With the rigorous coursework at Clear Horizons Early College High School and her college courses through San Jacinto College, she

“I would sit through classes as the world was spinning around me,” Erynn said. “I had accelerated algebra 2, AP physics and AP world history on my schedule that year. I also knew my college professors wouldn’t be as lenient. It just added to my anxiety, which made the vertigo symptoms even worse.”

After ending up in the emergency room one time due to dehydration, Erynn knew she needed to take charge of her life again.

“I brought it upon myself to figure out better time management since I never knew when I could have another issue,” Erynn said. “I was always staying on top of my work and was so much more determined to do well in my classes so if I had an issue, I would have a little cushion to deal with it. It gave me more of a purpose since I did not want the vertigo to rule the rest of my life.” This change in mindset has completely altered the course of her high school career. She went from not knowing if she would be able to succeed in her classes, to now graduating Summa Cum Laude from Clear Horizons, earning her associate degree from San Jacinto Community College, and receiving $60,000 in scholarship money. Her dream is to now use her personal struggles as the motivation to help others. After graduation, Erynn will be attending Stephen F. Austin University to study communication sciences and disorders. She will then go on to get her master’s degree in speech language pathology. “I had to have speech therapy when I was little due to my loss of hearing, and I just remember not having the greatest experience with the speech therapist,” Erynn said. “However, when my sister went through speech therapy, she absolutely loved her therapist. I remember thinking how impactful that one person was in helping her and that stuck with me.” Erynn’s interest in the career path grew over the years, and she ended up doing two internships in speech language pathology for a class at school.

“I worked at a clinic and at an elementary school” Erynn said. “I got the chance to work with young students with autism, and after seeing how sweet and smart they are, I knew I wanted to help in any way I can. So, I plan on working for an elementary school after receiving my degrees.” As for her advice to other students who might be struggling through a similar situation, Erynn wants them to always keep hope that they will get through it and lean on others for support. Keep looking to the future and you will get to where you want to go, she said.

I recently moved to League City and bought a house about 25 years old. It needed updating in the worst way. I became aware of BJ Stampley and Maverick through a friend. The work that was done for my friend was exceptional, so I asked him to help me with my house. I could not be onsite because I had to sell my homes in Florida and Michigan, but I was very comfortable that BJ would do the changes to the house as we had discussed. He understood exactly what I wanted and proceeded to renovate the house in my absence. I was truly amazed when I saw the work in progress as it exceeded my expectations. I am very pleased to find someone like BJ to do the remodeling of my house. He has been extremely good at turning my ideas into reality, and that is a quality that is hard to find. I wholeheartedly endorse him for any building or remodeling jobs. - Al Worden

www.buccaneerconstruction.com Advocates for Children Needed with CASA Volunteers needed to speak up for children in substitute care due to abuse or neglect. When a child enters the care of the state because their home is no longer safe, a judge may appoint a committed volunteer to help that child. This volunteer is called a Court Appointed Special Advocate, or CASA. CASA volunteers are representatives from our community who are trained to speak up for a child’s best interests in court. A CASA volunteer gets to know the child and gathers information from everyone involved in the child’s daily life, including family members, foster parents, teachers, daycare providers, doctors, lawyers, social workers, and other relevant persons. The volunteer uses the information gathered to report to the judge, advocating for the child’s needs while in care until they return home or become part of a new forever family. Want to learn more? Join us for an information session at a location near you. Upcoming information sessions:

Seven girls participated in Fast Start, where they set up the rain fly and handled takedown, set up tents, and learned how to assemble and light the camp stoves with the instruction delivered by Troop 848 adult Quartermaster, Todd Zimbeck and Alex Meyer, Assistant Scoutmaster. New chuck boxes were inspected and inventoried, and the girls learned cooking techniques, how to clean up on a campout, how to return clean/dry camp gear, and learned about the Scouting roles and procedures of the Quartermasters, both youth and adult. Troop 849’s Senior Patrol Leader, Lisa Moore, led the troop in additional training, including campout meal planning, kitchen/ food safety and safe food handling. The menu planning rated five stars by adult leadership as Pop Tarts never once came up (a staple for boy troop meal planning). Instead, the girls chose to integrate greens and fruits into their meal menus to save prep time and expenses.
Girls 11 - 17 years old interested in the BSA scouting program and looking for “fun with a purpose” are encouraged to check out Troop 849, hosted at Clear Lake United Methodist Church.

Webster Presbyterian Church was nationally known as the Church of the Astronauts while John Glenn, Buzz Aldrin, Jerry Carr, Charlie Bassett, and Roger Chaffee were active members during their service with NASA. On July 20, 1969, when the first Apollo mission landed on the moon, ruling elder Buzz Aldrin, as an act of thanksgiving, celebrated Holy Communion as an extension of the WPC congregation with the chalice and elements given to him by the church before he left Earth.

Moms In Prayer (Actual Testimony:) “After the Santa Fe shooting, I was nervous about my children’s safety at school and their futures...but not anymore! I joined Moms in Prayer and not only got a group of friends for support but faithfilled agreement in my prayers for the kids weekly. It has transformed my life and the kids’ lives as well–so many prayers were answered and obstacles overcome! Now I have unwavering peace. You can have it too!”

We are exceptionally pleased with the kitchen island that opens into our living room. The new cabinets and granite countertop is a beautiful replacement of what was there before. B.J., Kaysie, and Jill were very helpful with suggestions for materials, design, fixtures, etc. Overall, you guys did an absolutely fantastic job! We will definitely hire Maverick again.

Rick O’s Construction/remodeling 713-859-8922 Remodeled 2006 kitchen. Installed new exterior door, painting interior.
Rick told us up front that he would not start our job for three months, and this was accurate. When he did start, however, it was a beehive of activity and progressed rapidly. All the subs work well together and the quality of work was outstanding. Subs were professional and polite and clean and neat. Rick was very reasonable about change orders and his pricing is fair. No surprises. It was as good an experience as you can have remodeling and I would hire Rick and any one of the subs he brought in again without reservation. Kemah, TX

“July Special” Schedule Appointment to Discuss Client Testimonial Donna was amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful when we were selling our home. We relocated and needed to sell pretty quickly. She told us what improvements we should make to attract buyers. We put it on the market on a Thursday and had three offers before noon on Saturday. We got more than the asking price and the buyer paid the closing cost. I highly recommend her if you are buying or selling a home. Megan Bankston
