Charlotte will be a part of a student group who will be announcing the grand winner of the Texas Bluebonnet Award.
“I love the Texas Bluebonnet Program because not only are children motivated to read books but students have the opportunity to choose the winner unlike many other publishing awards,” said Diana Austin, library media specialist at Wolman Elementary.
Twenty books are chosen each year for the Texas Bluebonnet Award Master List. Schools and libraries around the state participate in the program, encouraging students in grades 3rd-6th to read a minimum of five books from the list. In January, participating students all over the state of Texas cast their vote for their favorite title. The author of the book receiving the most votes is the winner and is given their award at the Texas Bluebonnet Luncheon.

Canyon Gate @ Cinco Ranch | May 2019 13 Scouting News
Ella Hummeldorf earned her Gold Award in Girl Scouts Ella Hummeldorf, a Sophmore at Tompkins High School, has earned her Gold Award in Girl Scouts. Ella is a member of Troop 127007 and has been a Girl Scout since she was in Kindergarten. For her project, Ella built garden boxes with the help of her brothers and a group of Boy Scouts from Troop 1103 for Goddard Preschool in Cinco Ranch NW. Her inspiration for the garden boxes was her grandfather who is currently in bad health. Obesity is a growing problem in America and Ella is hoping the new generation of kids will make better choices. Her goal was to educate young children on the importance of eating healthy and how vegetables play a big part in that. She wanted to teach them about vegetables in a fun way so she created the garden boxes, supplied starter seeds and tools. She hopes they will have fun watching them grow and will teach future generations about growing vegetables and healthy eating. Her brother, Henry Hummeldorf, was a recent contestant on MasterChef Junior so she enlisted his help with some recipes. Together they created a fun cookbook for the kids and Henry talked to the children about the recipes and how to make vegetables fun. Here is a photo of Ella and Henry teaching the children and introducing them to their new gardens.

Canyon Gate @ Cinco Ranch | May 2019 17 Katy Heroes Honored by Teenagers Students from Tompkins High School, Tays Junior High and Woodcreek Junior High, have gathered together to honor a number of Katy teachers, coaches and community leaders who are ‘heroes’ to the young people.
A special dinner and awards presentation was held by the youth who are all members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Aged between 12 and 18, each of them was inspired to choose one person who has had a significant influence for good in their lives. The students then personally invited their ‘hero’ to attend the dinner. During the evening each of the youth gave a short speech to introduce their hero and explain why they had had such a significant impact on them.
Among the heroes was Danny Hill, Girls Program Director at Albion Hurricanes FC. He was invited by Tompkins Junior, Terin Graham. Terin also plays for the Tompkins Varsity team, which is currently ranked number one in the nation. She was thrilled to publicly thank Danny for his incredible contribution to women’s soccer. Danny commented, “I was very touched when Terin invited me to be honored at the dinner. The best part of our job is watching these kids grow into fantastic young people. Terin always brings a smile to my face and when I stood there listening to her talk it gave me a great peace and understanding of why I still do this job. Thank you Terin and family for believing in me all those years ago and your continued belief ever since.”
The purpose of the evening was to thank the many people in the community who sacrifice so much of their time and energy to guide and teach the young people in Katy. Says Brad Tippetts, one of the leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Katy, “As a parent and leader, it can be a scary proposition to send our kids into a world that at times is full of anger and selfishness. That’s why we’re so grateful for the many good people out there who share in the responsibility of helping our kids grow into good, honorable adults and care enough to help build the type of character that will make them good citizens and strong community members.”
Many of the students invited teachers, some brought Scout Leaders and one young man even invited his mom along to be his hero. There on the night were Shetye Cypher, Tina Fairwell, Leanda Hunt, Stephanie Lewis, Todd McVey, Donald Artley, Dianne Kuper, Monti Marquez, Danny Hill, Amy Wernig, Marianne Hudspeth, Ryleigh Gilpin, Amanda Robinson, Stephanie Mead, Holly Datwyler Ben Allsop, Mike Tinnell, Ann Batten-Bishop, Stacey Levin and Allan Ray.
As well as hosting the dinner and each making a speech, the youth played instruments and sang a choral number for invited guests.
