“The ag program in CFISD has grown by leaps and bounds since our first
districtwide livestock show in 1995,” said Denise Kubecka, lead curric-
ulum coordinator in the career and technical education department.
“Over the last 25 years, the program grew from eight ag teachers across Cypress Falls Chamber Choir
five high schools to 32 teachers supporting over 3,000 students across
12 high schools. The CFISD Livestock Show is one of the many oppor-
tunities these students have to develop skills in project management,
responsibility and perseverance; all skills needed to be successful in life.
The countless hours spent raising livestock or designing and building
projects is evident the moment they step in the arena.”

PRESIDENTIAL POTPOURRI
You probably thought that President’s Day was just to celebrate George
Washington’s and Abraham Lincoln’s birthdays. But really, it’s a day
set aside to honor each of our presidents. Here are a few presidential
facts for you...
• Until he was 19, George Washington celebrated his birthday on Febru-
ary 11th. But when the British parliament replaced the Julian calendar
with the Gregorian, his birthday fell 11 days later: February 22nd.
• Has there ever been a White House without a First Lady? Yes, James
Buchanan (1857-1861) was a lifelong bachelor.
• The presidents carved on Mount Rushmore were chosen to represent the
nation’s founding (Washington); its political philosophy (Jefferson); its pres-
ervation (Lincoln) and its expansion and conservation (Teddy Roosevelt).
• Virginia has the honor of being the birthplace of more presidents than
any other state - eight: Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Wil-
liam Henry Harrison, Tyler, Taylor and Wilson. Ohio is second with seven.
NATIONAL RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS DAY
Observed on February 17th, National Random Acts of Kindness Day has
grown in popularity each year. It is celebrated by individuals, groups and
organizations nationwide to encourage acts of kindness. It is a favorite
day for many, as people everywhere are enjoying doing these acts of
kindness. Not only is it positive for the receiver, but for the giver, too!
The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation celebrates Random Acts
of Kindness Week (www.randomactsofkindness.org/rak-week). The
Random Acts of Kindness Foundation is an internationally recognized
non-profit organization founded upon the powerful belief in kindness
and dedicated to providing resources and tools that encourage acts
of kindness.
In New Zealand, where this day originated, celebrates Random Acts of
Kindness Day on September 1st. It is also recognized by some on other
days throughout the year; however, doing random acts of kindness is
something that can be done every day of the year.
Make a note to do nice things throughout the day and use #
RandomActsOfKindnessDay to post on social media.

everyone had a great time.
The Troop had a special outing at Stone Moves, an indoor climbing center,
to work on climbing skills and spend time together over the Holidays.
We would also like to congratulate Ryan Kubiak, our Senior Patrol
Leader, on his attendance to National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT).
NYLT is provided by BSA to teach young adults ways in which they can
communicate with other young adults in a constructive manner. It also
teaches ways to lead other youth and coping mechanisms for youth that
may need minor redirection under their watch. Ryan took a week of his
time during the school break and traveled to Tellepsen Scout Ranch at
Bovay to attend the training.
In addition, Ryan is the Chapter Chief of the Big Cypress OA (Order
of the Arrow) Chapter and as such takes part in many if not all of the
local ceremonies. We are very proud of him and proud that our Troop
is involved with the OA experience through Ryan.

832-363-3772
African American History Month, a time for all Americans to celebrate
the achievements of African Americans and recognize their central role
in American history.
Other countries, including Canada and Great Britain, have also set aside
months to honor black history. The month of February was chosen to
coincide with the birthdays of President Abraham Lincoln and noted
civil rights advocate Frederick Douglass. The first record of Africans
arriving in North America is dated 1619, when a privateer ship carrying
“twenty and odd” Africans landed at Point Comfort, Virginia, which is
now modern-day Hampton, Virginia. The Africans were traded as slaves
in exchange for provisions.
African-American’s impact our society throughout history and in numer-
ous ways. Here are just a few prominent individuals we honor this month:
• Thurgood Marshall was the first African-American appointed to the
Supreme Court. We recognize Thurgood Marshall every year on National
Maryland Day.
• George Washington Carver developed over 300 products from peanuts.
Celebrate George Washington Carver and his contributions to the peanut
industry on National Peanut Day.

14 February 2019 | Twin Lakes Community NewsletterINTERESTED IN HOSTING A FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT?
Now that the holidays are over and everyone is settling back down again into their
daily lives, why not consider hosting a foreign exchange student for the 2019/2020
school year. STS Foundation is now accepting applications from prospective host
families - all it takes to host is to provide a place for the student to sleep, three
meals a day and a willingness to share your life with one of our amazing students!
Meet Emma from Denmark - Most of the time I’m a quite happy person. I’m very
honest and thoughtful. I usually worry about others before myself. Usually I’m
not shy and I don’t have a problem making new acquaintances. I’m helpful and
enjoy helping others out. I also love to hang out with my friends after school.
I’m not very sporty, but I still like the thought of staying healthy, so I go for a run
with a friend sometimes, I like to read books, but I also enjoy writing. Different
short stories, mostly just for me. I also enjoy dancing. It’s not something I go to,
because of the not so good opportunities in my area. I really like to act as well.
We only have one drama school in my area and it isn’t very good, but I have been
in a few school plays.
And here’s Diego from Spain - I am a very active and sportive boy. I am also a very
sociable person, so I think this experience may be a good one. Meeting new people
and having new friends are some of the things I would enjoy about this experience.
I’m a person who has lots of interests, for example I am always wanting to learn
new things such as the culture of other countries or even at school I’m interested
in nearly all the subjects. I think that I am also very mature and self-motivated. My
interests are mostly related to sports (swimming, skiing and playing soccer), but I
also have other cultural interests. For example, I love geography, knowing every
place and learning interesting facts about them. I’m also interested in cooking. I
usually cook on weekends with my father and we make really good dishes. Finally,
I like to play videogames with my friends or going out with them. We usually go
to the movies or to have dinner.
If you are interested in learning more about Emma, Diego or any of our other
students, please give me a call - I’d love to talk to you about hosting! I can be
reached at 832-455-7881 or at vicki.stsfoundation@yahoo.com.
