LocaL Teen arTisT Makes Her Mark Local teen artist, Reagan Douglas, has just completed her first official recording at the famed Music World Studios in Houston, owned by Matthew Knowles, father of artist BeyoncĂŠ. The recording session was part of the prize for winning the T.E.E.S Katy Talent contest earlier this year. Her winning original song, entitled “ ‘Til the End,â€? is a tribute to those battling cancer and their families. Reagan began learning the guitar at the age of 11. She quickly took to writing lyrics and playing for anyone who would listen. Recently she performed for the Texas Children’s Hospital and Coaches for Cancer and has appeared several times on stage at Relay for Life in Katy. Her songs will soon be available on iTunes and her website, www. reaganonline.com. Her dream is to develop her career and travel around the world sharing her joy of music. T.E.E.S. Katy is a non-profit organization whose goal is to encourage teens to pursue their talents and dreams in a positive atmosphere: www.teeskaty.com.
HosTing a foreign excHange sTudenT is easier THan you May THink During the 2012-2013 school year, students from all across the world will have the opportunity to travel to Houston and surrounding communities to spend the entire school year in the United States, learning and working with American Families. In order for the students to come to the U.S. they must have proper host families lined up. Now is a crucial time of year for the Ayusa program as local staff coordinators to find local host families for the upcoming school year. The Ayusa program is celebrating its 30th year this year and is responsible for more than 60,000 students from 75 different countries spending the school year in the United States. With the current school year quickly coming to an end Ayusa’s local staff is busy looking for families for students for the 2012-2013 school year. Many families are needed and with the schools having deadlines and limits for foreign exchange students, the earlier the better. It also gives the families and students time to get to know each other via skype, facebook, etc. while waiting for their year abroad to start. For more information and requirements, please contact Heather Wells by phone 281-770-3414 or by email ayusakaty@gmail.com.

These events celebrated the successes and contributions of Black Americans, both present day and past. Among some of the activities included a special weekly reading series at Mayde Creek High School that featured notable contributions of Black Americans during morning announcements. Students at Exley Elementary were treated to a Freedom Train performance that told the inspirational story about a mother and son and their quest to seek freedom from slavery.

Morton Ranch High School hosted its 7th annual Black History Program on February 16th. This year’s theme, “HEROES,” paid homage to the student’s heroes within their lives - whether a past historical figure that paved a way for them to have a better today or someone within their family that is their constant cheerleader. Student performances ranged from original poetry works, lyrical and hip-hop dances, skits and songs.

GIFTED STUDENTS BECOME ARCHEOLOGISTS DIGGING FOR TREASURE More than 1,300 gifted students from every KISD elementary campuses visited the Katy Outdoor Learning Center over a two-week period to spend a day being archeologists. In budget conscious times, KISD and Katy Parents of Gifted and Talented (KPGT) joined forces to create a fantastic opportunity to put months of class research into practice. Specially prepared archeological pits were an unending source of fascinating artifacts leading students to hypothesize why bones, beads, arrowheads and other items may be discovered. Energetic geo-caching scavenger hunts through the woodlands introduced how archeologists use new technology. Archeology experts volunteered their time and knowledge to take students around the world on a virtual tour of ancient civilizations.

Girl Scout World Thinking day was celebrated by various level of Girl Scout Troops of the Silver Spur unit in Katy Texas on 2/21/2012. The theme this year was “we can save our planet.” Girls from Cadette Troop 17081 showcased Scotland. Their colorful display consisted of authentic Scottish dance costumes, including kilts and a Scottish National Dance ensemble, posters featuring Girl Scouting, Eco, Influential people, food and history of Scotland, dolls dressed in Scottish attire and photos from the Scottish countryside. In addition, any girls who ‘visited’ their country received a sticker of The Royal Flag of Scotland for their passport, samples of delicious Scottish shortbread and a swap kit containing a tiny glass of milk (since we are in the middle of cookie sales). As a highlight of the event two lovely young ladies from St. Thomas Episcopal School provided a lively demonstration of the Highland Fling accompanied by the rousing skirl o’ the bagpipes. Include

WILD BEAR RUN TO BENEFIT KIDS FACINg LIFE ThREATENINg ILLNESS Who: Joe Joe Bear Foundation a 501(c)(3) organization When: June 9, 2012 Why: When visiting hours are over, children in hospitals with lifethreatening illnesses are alone, with no one to comfort them. A gift of a teddy bear from the Joe Joe Bear foundation is the comfort they need in these lonely times‌ a reminder of those who love them and want them to overcome their illnesses. We have given thousands of bears to hospitals like Shriner’s and MD Anderson; but the need is always present. A percentage of funds raised from the Wild Bear Run will allow Joe Joe Bear Foundation to continue their mission to help children.

HOUSTON LIVESTOCK SHOW AND RODEO™ COOKS UP HOUSTON’S HOT SUMMER BREAK™ BENEFITS ANNUAL EVENT The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo today announced the launch of a new summer festival, benefiting the Show and allowing Houstonians an enjoyable, refreshing and entertaining break from the city’s summer heat. Houston’s Hot Summer Break, July 4-8, 2012, is an all day, five-day music, food, beer, wine and spirits festival, featuring top chefs and mixologists, shopping, and live music. Held completely inside Reliant Center, the summer event includes cooking demonstrations, a beer brewing competition, wine and liquor seminars and the search for Houston’s best cocktail, margarita and martini. Patrons also can explore both floors of Reliant Center to listen and dance to live concerts featuring country, blues and jazz music, along with disc jockeys playing a mix of club music.
“We are thrilled to announce the development of Houston’s Hot Summer Break,” said Skip Wagner, president of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. “Houstonians love to celebrate and this festival offers them a really cool way to do so. We look forward to making it one of the best and most successful events of its kind, offering attendees the ability to get away without going away!” Another highlight of the event, a restaurant-style café, will allow attendees the opportunity to sit and enjoy creations from several Houston-area restaurants, cafés and diners, including a wine bar and coffee shop. Net proceeds generated from Houston’s Hot Summer Break will directly benefit the mission of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is a Section 501(c)(3) charity that benefits youth, supports education, and facilitates better agricultural practices through exhibitions and presentation. Since its beginning in 1932, the Show has committed approximately $283 million to the youth of Texas. The 2012 Show runs through March 18th.

School Edition is filled with powerful imagery of darkness and light, highlighting, throughout its dramatic action, the struggle inherent in the human condition and the indomitability of the spirit, despite great suffering. Set in 19th century France, this classic and poignant musical, tells the story of Jean Valjean, a strong-hearted man jailed for stealing a loaf of bread. As he struggles to make a new life for himself given his new found freedom, he must grapple with questions of faith, fatherhood and allegiance to the law.

On Sunday, March 25th, the interior of Living Word Lutheran Church in Katy was transformed for a Dedication and Blessing of Quilts and Kits for Lutheran World Relief. Hand tied quilts decorated all the pews. Baby Care Kits filled with baby clothes, diapers and blankets were on display, in addition to 100 red backpacks filled with school supplies. Volunteers of all ages joined the fun after the service as they packed the quilts and kits into boxes to be delivered to the warehouse in Baltimore, Maryland. From there, they will be distributed to people in need located in areas of natural disaster, or countries recovering from war. The quilts are used as wall dividers in refugee camps, mattresses and blankets to keep bodies warm or to wrap up for comfort when feeling alone.
