CANYON LAKE YOUTH

Active in the Community

3 Amazing and Inspiring Programs were Presented to the Students, Teachers, and Parents in the Community due to the Efforts of Hard-working, Empowered Student Initiatives. The Mission? To Encourage Respect for All Members of the Community, Initiate Anti-bullying Education and Foster an Environment of Kindness within the School System, and to Teach about the Dangers of Underage Drinking and Driving.

I Love These Programs!

TAKE THE PLEDGE TODAY at www.r-word.org

Help eliminate the demeaning use of the R-word–a common taunt used to make fun of others. Often unwittingly, the word is used to denote behavior that is clumsy, hapless, and even hopeless. But whether intentional or not, the word conjures up a painful stereotype of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It hurts. Even if it isn't meant that way.

Young people around the world are taking a stand and raising awareness of the dehumanizing and hurtful effects of the R-word and are helping encourage others to think before they speak.

Help organize a youth rally or presentation to your school today!

SHATTERED DREAMS PROGRAM CANYON LAKE HIGH

"Shattered Dreams" is an educational experience that reminds us all of the dangers associated with drinking and driving. It reminds us that too many young lives have already been lost and countless others severely impaired because of the tragic consequences of underage drinking and drinking combined with driving. "Shattered Dreams" is about drinking and driving. It's about living and dying. Can "Shattered Dreams" make a difference in a young person's life? Families, schools, faith-based and community groups in Texas must join together to teach young people that consuming alcohol while underage is never a good choice. Can our communities afford to ignore the devastating impact that underage drinking is causing?

The "Shattered Dreams" program involves the dramatization of an alcohol-related crash on or near a high school campus, complete with police and EMS response, emergency room treatment, family notifications, and the arrest and booking of the driver. The crash scene drama is played out before the student body during a school day. Throughout the day the other elements of the "docu-drama" unfold. To give students a better understanding of the number of DWI-related deaths, an individual dressed as the "Grim Reaper" appears periodically throughout the school day to select a new victim. In 2000 every 20 minutes someone in Texas was injured or killed as the result of drunk driving. The victims are taken out of class, made-up in white faces and dressed in black t-shirts to symbolize death, and then returned to their classrooms to continue their day. By the end of the day, every student has one or more "dead" classmates present in the classroom with him, and on this note the school day ends.

The next morning a wrap-up assembly is held featuring those who played roles in the previous day's drama, including the "crash" victims, the drunk driver, their parents, and participating law enforcement and medical personnel. Impact statements from community members whose lives have been affected by teenage alcohol use and drunk driving bring closure to the program and reinforce its dual message for the teenage audience -- Don't drink until you are 21, and never drink and drive

Rachel's Challenge came to Canyon Lake in 2012-it was a powerful and inspiring program and helped to bring awareness about bullying to the community! To keep the momentum going some of the area schools adopted on-going programs within the schools:

Startzville Elementary created their own "KC" or Kindness & Compassion Club and the primary mission is to teach children at an early age that kindness and compassion are a way of life; it proactively addresses the issues of bullying and destructive behavior by giving students permission to be kind. The focus is on promoting and celebrating positive behavior and thereby instilling a positive self-image and respect for others that can shape their lives and ultimately promotes an atmosphere conducive to effective learning. The club meets once a month after school and has many members, the meetings are designed to keep the message alive and the kids have great fun working on special projects designed to foster kindness
Mountain Valley Middle School AND Canyon Lake High School-each formed a "FOR" or Friends of Rachel Club to foster an environment of respect and caring within the school and community. They established ambassadors to promote campus wide kindness initiatives such as welcoming new students, empowering bystanders, switch it up days and a student mentoring program.

Canyon Lake Youth Clubs that give back through Community service and promoting positive messages are an inspiration to everyone!

STARTZVILLE ELEMENTARY’S KC CLUB/ MOUNTAIN VALLEY MIDDLE F.O.R. CLUB

Modeled after the National “Rachel’s Challenge” Program, Elementary school students are encouraged to live a life of purpose, do simple acts of kindness and the club helps them to reach out with Kindness and Compassion to make their school a better place. The MVMS club members learn the power of deliberately reaching out in word and action to others to start what Rachel called a “chain reaction of kindness and compassion”. It encourages participants to examine their own lives in the light of the 5 challenges:

Everything Canyon Lake Camps for Summer 2013

2013-03-26T02:02:00.002-05:00

Summer Camping options for Canyon Lake Kids!

When I first planned on writing a post for parents to explore the choices for summer camping for Canyon Lake kids, I was only thinking of the day camps and overnight camps being offered by the many different child-based associations near the lake. Camps offered by the girl scouts or the YMCA or the youth football league, for example. Once I began to form ideas for the post though, I realized that I was leaving out all the camping options for families to spend time together during the summer that are right here at Canyon Lake so I decided to write a series on camping: detailing the options for sending your kids away to summer camp, the many day camps available to keep kids active and engaged during the summer, and on the great summer camping sites for families to spend vacation time together. We will start with Overnight Summer Camps for Kids.

Summer Camps are a rite of passage for many kids and, for many, it is their only experience without the constant supervision of their parents; a time to make new friends and learn new skills-CAMP IS COOL-CAMP IS FUN!!!! There are as many different choices to choose from as there are kids with different interests. There is something offered to interest every child; from science camps to horse camps, from day camps to overnight camps, from religious camps to athletic camps-there is simply something for EVERYONE!

Overnight Summer Camps Available:

1. Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas Council:
The Girl Scouts have just published their 2013 summer fun camping guide: 2013 Summer Camping Fun Catalog
The Girl scouts offer overnight camps for every age level and interest you can imagine from camps for dancing divas to chefs to babysitting certification, all their camps are wonderful experiences for girls of all ages!

2. T-Bar M Camps:a non-denominational Christian sports and adventure camp with locations in New Braunfels, Texas.

Unique and Painless Fundraising Ideas for Booster Clubs

If you are constantly bombarded by the fundraising efforts of every school, every sports league, and every other activity that your children are affiliated with; if you are as tired as I am of constantly opening your wallet, purchasing items you don't need or want for twice the price, and donating your precious free time then it is time to suggest some new ideas to the fundraising powers to be. There are great ways to raise funds for your organization that won't cost your members money or time they can't afford to donate. Many local and national businesses will donate generously each time your members shop or dine at their establishments and Recycling Fundraisers will pay your organization for items collected while you teach your children about protecting the environment!!

Everything Canyon Lake Kids Community Forum:

Creating a network for involved parents to connect and support one another within the Canyon Lake community. Together we can help make the day-to-day struggles of raising active and involved children a little easier for each other!

Do you have busy or active kids?
Are they scheduled to be in different locations at the same exact time?
Do you feel more like a chauffeur than a mom?
Is your gas tank on empty more than once a week?

As a single mom with 3 kids who have very hectic extra-curricular schedules, I know how frustrating it can be to have to be in 2 different places at the same time. Canyon Lake is a large community and covers a huge territory. The cost of gas to bring your children to school, sporting or other events should not be a determining factor in enrolling your children in the activities they want to participate in!

Everything Canyon Lake Kids can help solve your transportation worries!

There is a community forum page located on our web-site where you can connect with other parents and arrange carpooling for team practices, dance classes, scouting events, etc.
Whether you need assistance for a specific one-time date or you would like to set-up an arrangement to share the driving duties for an entire season or school year, the community forum page located on the Everything Canyon Lake Kids web-site makes it easy for parents to share the burden and the cost. Just click the link below to discover how easy it is to find parents who would love to "drive-share":

The Deadline for Parents and Students to select their Classes for Mountain Valley Middle School is February 15, 2013!

Middle School counselors are meeting with incoming 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students this week
School Meeting for parents was February 5, 2013-if you missed this meeting and have questions, please call the school, (830)885-1300 and ask to speak with the counselors
All students must enter their class choices on-line at TXMyZone: https://itccsgb.esc13.net:5001/costu/zone.aspx, you will need to know your child's 6 digit student ID #, birth date, and last four digits of their social security # to access the selections.
In addition, all students must hand in the completed Class Selection form they received to their counselors by February 15, 2013. This form must be handed in even if you entered the information through TXMyZone!

All 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade Students are required to take the following classes:

English Language Arts (ELA)
Math
Science
Social Studies

Pre-AP Courses have returned to the Middle School this year:

Pre-AP courses are designed for high-achieving students who have demonstrated advanced skills in the subject.

6th Grade Pre-AP Choices: ELA and Math only, choose Pre-AP selection if you feel your child has strong academic skill in the subject

7th and 8th Grade Pre-Ap Choices: All four of the above named required courses are offered at the Pre-AP level. You can choose the Pre-AP option for one, two, three, or all four of these courses.

*Please note that the Pre-AP 7th Grade Math selection is titled Pre-Algebra

**The 8th Grade Pre-AP Math selection is titled Algebra I. Successful completion of this 8th grade class will result in your child receiving HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT in math.

Gifted and Talented Students

Critical Thinking through Cultural Awareness I, II, and III is designed for those students previously identified as GT students and focuses on critical thinking and problem solving skills through an appreciation of cultures.

*6th Grade Students wishing to take other electives, may substitute this class in lieu of the Youth Leadership/Computer Applications requirement

**7th and 8th Grade Students may choose to take this class for the full year or for 1 semester

New Choice for 6th grade students for P.E. requirement:

Choose either:

A. Wellness-Physical Education-a PE class for students to continue to improve and develop their fitness knowledge through a variety of activities and sports.

B. Pre-Athletics-is a new curriculum offered specifically for those students who plan to participate in an organized sport at MVMS in their 7th and 8th grade years. This course is for those students who expect to participate in football, basketball, volleyball, track and field, golf, or tennis.

*7th Grade students must still choose between the Wellness:Physical Education class or the Athletics PE class

**PE is an elective at the 8th grade level as it is no longer a required class at this grade level. Therefore, 8th grade students choosing to take the Foundation of Personal Fitness class will earn HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT.

Electives:

Electives include Art, Theater, Band, Choir, Speech, Spanish, and Career/Technical Education choices

6th Grade Students are allowed one elective (due to the requirement that all 6th graders attend Youth Leadership for one semester and Computer Applications for one semester)
7th Grade Students are allowed one full year elective and one semester elective (due to the Exploring Careers semester requirement)
8th Grade Students are allowed to choose 3 full year electives

Welcome to Everything Canyon Lake Kids!

2013-01-24T17:40:00.000-06:00

Canyon Lake's New One Stop Site for Everything Kids!

My name is Lisa Peters and I am a Canyon Lake Mom.

A single mom with 3 very active children

A mom who has found it very frustrating every single year when trying to find information about the many different activities Canyon Lake has to offer for kids. I have searched backpacks for flyers and the world wide web for web-sites. I have called Community Centers, sent e-mail and Facebook requests to sports leagues. I have asked other moms and even begged school employees for information.

AND

every year I still end up missing at least one registration deadline!! This year it was basketball-somehow the elementary school forgot to pass out the informational flyers with all the Christmas break excitement AND I found out about sign-ups after they had already passed-along with alot of other parents with future basketball stars that wanted to play.

I have the utmost respect for the many volunteers who give their time to be scout leaders and soccer coaches, or football and cheer parents taking time out of their busy schedules to teach groups of rambunctious young athletes in 100 degree weather;
It is a huge undertaking to get it all organized.

BUT I must admit that I have done a fair amount of griping myself when schedules weren't sent out until AFTER the first scheduled practice dates had passed or when I had asked for a compete list of the costs and required gear only to be told that they forgot to mention that it was mandatory that the mouthpiece have a strap that attaches to the helmet. Of course, that little detail didn't come to light until I had driven 30 miles to the nearest sporting goods store, purchased the wrong mouthpiece and boiled it to mold it to my son's mouth.

I know I am not the only mom who is struggling to make ends meet while, at the same time, wanting to make sure that her kids get the opportunity to participate in all the fun stuff that makes it so cool to be a kid-it ain't easy- but we do it for our kids because that is just what we do.

I decided to stop whining and to figure out a solution.

Everything Canyon Lake Kids is designed to be the only place you have to look for information for all youth events that occur in Canyon Lake. From kindergarten Easter Egg Hunts to Varsity Football Games, from the 3rd grade performances of Mother Goose to National Dance Team Competitions, this community calendar will provide busy parents with all the information they need.

Welcome to Everything Canyon Lake Kids. Specific details , ways to subscribe , and more exciting features will be explained-ALL DESIGNED TO MAKE YOUR LIFE A LITTLE BIT EASIER- in new blog posts in the coming weeks.
