A Non-Profit Incorporated OrganizationCOALITION LEADERSHIP CHANGES

The Coalition has had a change in command. Anthony Cecala, who has been our President for the past several years, has resigned from the Coalition Board to attend to personal business. Joe Perino, previously Vice-President, has been elected president and Mike Holly, one of our Directors, has replaced Joe Perino as Vice-President.

Anthony will be sorely missed. In the meantime, the Coalition is in a transition period and has divided up his duties and activities among the Board members. We will have more information on who is doing what at the next meeting.GOOD NEWS ON THE LONGENBAUGH PROJECTAfter working with Precinct 3 Commissioner Steve Radack,

THE CY-FAIR ISD LIAISON COMMITTEERecently, representatives of the Coalition were invited to tour

Larkin Elementary, a Title One school. What we witnessed was impressive. The principal was very gracious and answered all our questions. She stated that Title One works. We asked about Title One bringing down property values in the area and the principal stated that she doesn’t believe it is Title One that brings down the values. We invited her and her staff to speak to the community to better educate us. This request would need to be approved by the CFISD board.

CELL PHONE TOWER AT LOWERY ELEMENTARYThe saga at Lowery continues. Following our last report about

either moving the tower or disguising it, Cy-Fair ISD contacted T-Mobile regarding the options. T-Mobile responded and said that replacing the current unipole tower with a monopine type, relocating the tower or disguising it would all be ”cost-prohibitive,” but did offer to repaint it to a more acceptable color that would better blend in with the neighborhood.

$27,785 for Lowery. Obviously, Cy-Fair does not want to lose this income, but it is a tiny drop in the bucket compared to their total budget. According to their profile in May 2012, the Cy-Fair Board of Trustees adopted a budget of $729,191,085, including maintenance and operations, funding broken down as follows: 45.8% from local funds (taxes), 47.5% from state funds, and 6.7% from federal or miscellaneous sources. The Coalition believes that unless Cy-Fair presses T-Mobile and the new tower owner, Crown Castle, to either disguise or move the tower, nothing will change. The Coalition will keep you informed.

FAREWELL SENIORS!!! 

CYPRESS FALL HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR

We have had an outstanding year!!!  Newsweek magazine noted us as one of the best public high schools in the nation!  Most effective in turning out college ready graduates.  All of our choirs received ‘ones’, superior ratings, which no other high school choir has achieved this year. And all due to our fantastic students under the exceptional direction of Mrs. Deidre Douglas and Matt Perez.

The choir banquet this year, held at Northwest Forrest Conference Center, was a huge success.  Masquerade Ball was the theme on May 17th, as many adorned elaborate masks, or displayed their own facial perfection!  The students always shine so bright when they dress up.  A huge thank you to Sandra Greer for organizing and decorating for the event.  It was a magical evening as the exiting student choir board presented their successors, they will no doubt carry on in commanding style.  The power point presentation of past events and happenings is always a delight as the students recall fond times throughout their training, performing, and enjoyment. 

May 24th found the school taking over as the all choir lock in took place.  The games they come up with are such a blast, and statue is always a favorite.  Food consumed by the pound and fun exploding through the evening.  Thanks to all who participated, as it all occurs because of you!

Schlitterbahn was high school city on the 25th as our students and chaperones, along with some other schools, took over the water city.  The cool waters are always so refreshing, and the technology of the water runs/coasters is always amazing and enjoyed.  Who can go wrong with fun AND sun???!!!

It was a quite ride home, and no doubt, there were heavy sleepers

that night!Our final spring concert was held on May 7th. in our school

auditorium.  We bid adieu to our out going seniors and many achievement awards are presented.  The highest of these is the all around outstanding student, decided by the choral directors.  This award was recieved by Abi Amadin.  In addition, two scholarships, one academic and one musical, funded by the Choir Board Members.  The the musical scholarship to Lauren Lafferty, followed by the academic scholarship going to Abi Amadin.  Congratulations to these well deserving students!  Congratulations continue as we acknowledge our seniors going forth to better our world.  You will be missed and fondly remembered!  Abi Amadin, Paige Baker, Khai Bui, Vanessa Clarke, Marissa Cummings, Bailey Doucet, Katie Ferrigan, Andrew Harris, Deondre Johnson, Thomas Kang, Lauren Lafferty, Leah Lebeau, Casy Long, Jennifer Lopez, Jarek Malinowski, Amanda Nguyen, Ronald Pabello, Gabriela Pineda, Xavier Richardson, Jordan Svehla, Gabriel Tan Buenaventrua, Kin Van, Gilberto Victoria, and Paul Yacoub.  We expect nothing but the best from you, as you have shown us through out your time here at Cy Falls. 

The executive board also gives overflowing thanks and a heartfelt farewell to our treasurer Ann Ferrigan.  We have enjoyed your friendship and partnership through these years and wish you happiness in all you do.  Thank you for your service and dedication to our young men and women and for keeping us financially in line! 

Have a safe and fun filled summer.  Embrace your many blessings, share your light with others and keep a song in your heart!  We will see you in the fall.  GO EAGLES CHOIR!!!

Proud Supporter of Cy-Fair A&M Club!

Copper Corners Service Unit held a Bridging ceremony on May 2. Family and friends were present as members of twelve different troops made the change to their next Girl Scouting level. The evening began with a flag .ceremony and recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance and the Girl Scout Promise When each troop came forward, their leaders spoke about the troop’s activities and service projects for the year to the applause of the audience. As each girl’s name was called, she walked across a wooden bridge to be greeted by a sister Girl Scout from her new level. Many of the girls wore their new vests or sashes for the first time. Daisy troops bridging to Brownies were troops 16048, 16171, 16460, 16462, 16465 and 16467. Brownie troops bridging to the Junior level were troops 16407 and 16320. Junior troop 16464 bridged to Cadette Girl Scouts. Cadette troops 16137 and 16170 bridged to Senior Girl Scouts. Senior troop 5131 crossed the bridge to become Ambassador Girl Scouts We are very proud of all our bridging Girl Scout!

Girl Scouts from the Copper Corners Service Unit have been participating in a variety of activities. Brownie troop (now Junior troop) 16320 presented an Earth Day program for our service unit. Troop 16398 reports that they “had a blast” when they visited “Color Me mine” in Cypress. They would like to thank Wren Hartley for making the day so special. Menchies’s has been a popular destination for field trips. Troops 16172 and 16109 were recent visitors. Troop 16109 discovered that 11

girls could fit in a Menchie’s freezer…they can really claim to have had a “cool” time! National Lemonade Day on May 5 was a troop effort for 16100. They held their troop lemonade stand at a local Kroger. The day is designed to “teach kids the business of business” and encourage the entrepreneurial spirit. Selling Girl Scout cookies also helps develop many business skills. Troop 16464 participated in Geocache at Sheldon Lake State Park. While summer may slow the activities of individual troops, many Girl Scouts participate in resident, day and twilight camps. There are many opportunities to learn new skills and make new friends, and it is not too late to sign up! Camp information (and lots of other information!) can be found on the Council web site, www.gssjc.org

Girl Scouting is open to all girls ages 5 (must be in kindergarten) to 18 who are willing to live by the Girl Scout Promise and Law. Copper Corners service unit serves girls in the residence areas for Birkes, Fiest and Lowery Elementary schools, Aragon and Labay Middle schools and the corresponding high schools. Home schooled and private school students are always welcome. Girls may join at any level, and no previous Scouting experience is required. Don’t forget that many of our most exciting opportunities are available to older girls! It is not too late to join Girl Scouts now! We welcome girl members and adult volunteers. Please contact Dianne Massie at 281-550-9148 ([email protected]) for more information

Who hasn’t dreamed about walking among the Egyptian pyramids, or soaking in the sun on a beach in Spain, or wandering along the Great Wall of China? Every parent wants to give their children a taste of the world, but the economic reality of international air travel for a family, not to mention hotels, passports and food, makes it tough for most of us to consider except in our daydreams. There is a way to give your children the world – without leaving your living room. How? Host a foreign exchange student from a country you’ve always admired! Fascinated by France? Curious about China? Intrigued by India? By welcoming an international student from one of these countries into your home, you instantly open a portal to a far off land.

“My husband and I have been hosting for the past three years and have enjoyed every minute of it!” said Vicki Odom, an Ayusa host mom from Pearland, Texas. “The various students we’ve had in our home have taught us a great deal about their home countries. The students also love learning about life in Texas and participate in a good deal on community service.”

Foreign exchange students come from all over the world. Ayusa matches host families with students from more than 60 different countries. All high school foreign exchange students are fully insured, bring their own spending money, and are proficient in English – and all high school exchange programs are regulated by the U.S. Department of State.

“We welcome host families of all shapes and sizes – families with young

children, families with no children, empty nesters whose children have left home, single parents and non-traditional families,” says Connie Coutu, Regional Manager of Ayusa, a non-profit that promotes global learning and leadership through foreign exchange and study abroad opportunities for high school students. “The key requirements for a host family are to provide a safe and nurturing home environment, genuinely love children, and have a desire to learn more about a different culture.”

Volunteer host families provide foreign exchange students a nurturing environment, three meals a day and a bedroom (either private or shared with a host sibling of the same gender). Each host family and student is supported by a professionally trained community representative who works with the family and student for the entire program. All interested host families must pass a criminal background check and a home visit by an exchange organization. Interested host families are required to fill out an application, pass a background check and interview with a local exchange program representative in their homes. Once accepted to a program, host families can view profiles of students to find the right match for their family.

Ayusa is currently accepting applications for families to host an exchange student for the 2012 – 2013 school year. For more information about hosting a high school foreign exchange student, please contact Ayusa at 1.888.552.9872 or by visiting the website at www.ayusa.org.

NORTHWEST HARRIS COUNTYAGGIE MOM’S CLUB

nwhcaggiemoms.org

Did you know? Each fall and spring at finals time, Aggie Moms clubs from around the state come to the Texas A&M campus to pass out Care Packages to cheer on our hard working students. A tradition in itself, the Northwest Harris County Aggie Moms Club has an added touch. We are known for our ‘Hug Line’ through which each student must pass before they can receive their care package. One student expressed, “This is my favorite part about getting a care package-I look forward to it every semester!” This year, we had over 25 moms giving hugs to each and every student.

Are you a New Aggie Mom? Are you an Aggie Mom that wants to join other Aggie Moms in supporting our students? Find out how we help your student succeed during those college years at one of our informal Summer Mixers. Dates and locations are on our website at www.nwhcaggiemoms.org.

The Northwest Harris County Aggie Mom’s Club meets August thru May on the second Tuesday of every month at 7:00 pm at the Houston Distributing Center conveniently located off Cutten Road near Willowbrook Mall and the intersection of SH 249 and FM 1960. We are looking forward to kicking off next year at our ‘HOWDY PARTY” on August 13th-Please join us!

All meetings are open to Aggies, future, present or past. We provide light refreshments and you can shop our Boutique for that one-of-a-kind Aggie treasure. Our hand crafted items celebrate the heart-warming TAMU traditions. You will also enjoy hearing from dynamic speakers throughout the year like, Brigadier General, Joe Ramirez, Commandant of the Corp of Cadets.

Aggie Moms, as an organization, encourages parents to become familiar with A&M during their student’s freshman year instead of waiting for graduation to visit as is the custom on other university campuses. The path to graduation can be a challenging journey; don’t go it alone. Northwest Harris County Aggie Moms has been here for 25 years and we’re committed to helping your student and YOU enjoy the TAMU experience. Drop on by and say Howdy. We’ll be so glad you did! Feel free to contact Shannon Eberle, Club President at clubpres20122gmail.com.
