LOCAL DEVELOPER PLEDGES 3-YEAR CONTRIBUTION TO KATY ISD EDUCATION FOUNDATION
Cane Island, home to many parents, grandparents and increasing numbers of Katy ISD students, has joined the corps of Keystone Investors contributing
to the Katy ISD Education Foundation and its Inspiring Imagination teacher grant program. The Foundation’s Investor program allows the community,
both individuals and business leaders like Cane Island, to provide a sound financial platform for Foundation initiatives by committing to three years
or more of support.
Cane Island President Dan Naef joined the Katy ISD Education Foundation for 2019-2020 Inspiring Imagination teacher grant announcements. “It was
one of the most special experiences I’ve had in Katy,” Naef said, “To be present and witness the joy in a teacher’s eyes when they win a grant and to hear
the excitement in their voice, it’s priceless.” Cane Island doesn’t just build homes, it builds community. Naef said, “Nothing says community like taking
care of our children and taking care of the educators who pour into our children.”
The Katy ISD Education Foundation has awarded $1.6 million in its first seven years of Inspiring Imagination teacher grants, impacting students in
classrooms all around the district. Funding for the program is provided in part by long-term investors like Cane Island and annual fundraising events
Fireflies & Foodtrucks and GROOVE. To learn more, contact us at 281-396-6031 or visit www.katyisdeducationfoundation.org.

COMMON VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES
As we embark on the journey each day to eat and live better, take note of
the common vitamin nutrient deficiencies that are easily treated:
TACLB021058E

1. Calcium: Calcium is important for maintaining strong bones and
controlling muscle and nerve function. Signs of severely low calcium
include fatigue, muscle cramps, abnormal heart rhythms and a poor FREE 1st lb. Freon (R410 only)

softening of the bones. To get enough vitamin D, have three servings
of fortified milk or yogurt daily eating fatty fish, such as salmon or tuna,
twice a week; and spend some time outside in the sunshine every day.
3. Potassium: Potassium helps the kidneys, heart and other organs

severe cases, an abnormal heart rhythm. For natural potassium sources,
consume bananas, whole grains, milk, vegetables, beans and peas. • HARDIPLANK ® INSTALLATION
4. Iron: Iron helps your body make red blood cells. When iron levels get
too low, your body can’t effectively carry oxygen. The resulting anemia • WOOD REPLACEMENT FREE
can cause fatigue. You might also notice pale skin and dull, thin, sparse ESTIMATES
hair. To boost iron levels, eat iron-fortified cereal, beef, oysters, beans • STAIN / VARNISH SPECIALIST
(especially white beans, chickpeas and kidney beans), lentils and spinach.
5. Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 aids the production of DNA and helps make
neurotransmitters in the brain. With an increasing number of vegans
• BATHROOM/KITCHEN RENOVATIONS
and people who’ve had weight loss surgery, vitamin B12 deficiency is
becoming more common. Symptoms of severe B12 deficiency include
• FRONT DOOR REFINISHING
numbness in the legs, hands or feet; problems with walking and balance;
anemia; fatigue; weakness; a swollen, inflamed tongue; memory loss;
paranoia; and hallucinations. You can get vitamin B12 from animal
sources: eat more fish, chicken, milk and yogurt. If you’re vegan, opt for
vegan foods fortified with B12, such as non-dairy milk, meat substitutes
281-855-3739
and breakfast cereals. bluebonnetpainting@gmail.com
6. Folate: Folate or folic acid, is a particularly important vitamin for
women of childbearing age, which is why prenatal vitamins contain such
a hefty dose. A folate deficiency can cause a decrease in the total number
of cells and large red blood cells as well as neural tube defects in an
unborn child. Symptoms of a folate deficiency include fatigue, gray hair,
mouth ulcers, poor growth and a swollen tongue. To get folate from food,
go for fortified cereals, beans, lentils, leafy greens and oranges.
7. Magnesium: Magnesium helps support bone health and assists in
energy production. Magnesium deficiency can cause loss of appetite,
nausea and vomiting, fatigue and weakness. In more severe cases, it can
lead to numbness, muscle cramps, seizures, abnormal heart rhythms,
personality changes or low potassium or calcium levels. To help your
levels return to normal, eat more magnesium-rich foods, such as almonds,
cashews, peanuts, spinach, black beans and edamame.

Spaghetti Squash
You could make this on National Spaghetti Day January
4th! Everyone is trying to be a little healthier these days,
so instead of a pasta spaghetti, try using spaghetti
squash:
DIRECTIONS:
1. To start, cut your squash in half lengthwise. This is
definitely the hardest part of making spaghetti squash,
but with a sharp chef’s knife and some determination
you’ll do just fine.
2. Remove the seeds. Drizzle the cut sides with olive oil
and season with salt and pepper. Flip the squash cut-side
down on a baking sheet.
3. Pop it in a 400°F oven for 40 minutes. Depending on
the size of your squash, this could take more like an
hour. If 40 minutes have passed and you’re not sure if the
squash is ready, pull it out of the oven and drag the tines
of a fork on the cut side. If spaghetti-like strands easily
release from the skin, it’s ready. If not, continue baking
and check on it every 5 to 10 minutes. Over-roasting can
lead to soggier “spaghetti,” so it’s best to keep a close eye
on the squash.
4. Shred it! When it’s ready, let cool slightly before creating
“spaghetti” with your fork.
Top with spaghetti sauce or for an even healthier and
lower calorie option, go with a marinara sauce.
Single Serving Healthy
Homemade Strawberry
Ice Cream
You could make this on National Strawberry Ice Cream Day
January 15th!
Ingredients
1 banana, frozen
1 cup (5-6 whole) strawberries, fresh or frozen
1/4 cup milk of choice
