• Did anyone else see the senior class gift project at Frassati?

  St. Michael field is really coming along! My nephew played a game over there last season. Did an Eagle Scout put up the original flagpole out there, or am I thinking of Concordia Lutheran? I could swear someone told me a Scout did the first one. Either way, good for those kids. Football season starts so fast down here, so having flags up for kickoff nights makes the whole stadium look complete.

• Spring ISD STAAR EOC results out today

  I saw that report while getting my morning coffee! Good for them, honestly. A 25 point bump in Biology is huge. But let us be real, test scores swing around depending on how much time teachers spend teaching to the test versus actual subject depth. Over at Oak, our teachers were stressed about the online format changes a couple years back, so maybe Spring ISD just finally got their rhythm down with the portal setup.

• Teen first jobs in spring area - who is actually hiring 15/16 year olds right now?

  Seconding the refereeing! My oldest refereeed youth soccer for two seasons while at Oak and it was the best money he made all high school. Plus he was already at the fields every weekend anyway! Also check the swim clubs and county parks when spring comes around for lifeguard certification. Pundt Park and Collins Park area summer programs usually hire 16 year olds for gate staff and concessions. Walking in and asking for a manager STILL WORKS at local places though. Do not let them just submit an app online and sit on their phone!

• Moving into klein isd next year and so confused about zoning and open transfers

  You are going to love Klein! We have been in the district for over ten years and all three of my kids have gone through Klein Oak. Just a heads up if you have older kids or will in a few years, high school traffic off Spring Cypress and Klein Church Road gets intense around 7:00 AM. Zoned schools make life so much easier for sports practices and after school events!
