GREENWOOD KING
By Jacob MillweeFor The Leader
There is a common business buzz word called “branding.” Essentially what branding is in the business con-text is creating an image or a short phrase that has direct association with a company. It’s different than a slogan or mascot in that the branding concept is intrinsically wrapped up in identity. Company names and logos for example are types of branding. It takes its name from a very Texan act, that of branding cattle. Every brand is different and distinct, and you can glance at any cow and know who owns them – an instant association if it is a familiar brand.
You can apply the branding con-cept to communities as well. From that perspective the Heights has a strong brand. We have name recog-nition throughout the greater Hous-ton area, and are known for shop-ping, art, great food, and a friendly
small town atmosphere. What’s not to love? The Chamber is doing its part to strengthen the brand with the Buy Local First Campaign and the Passport to the Heights program.
You can have a negative associa-tion as well; branding can backfire on you. Few think of Detroit for ex-ample, as prosperous now. Even if it becomes so, it will take years for the city to shed its poor image – if it ever can.
With all this information on the table, I reach out to you regarding the
impending name change of John H. Reagan High School. Reagan High has been educating students since 1926. It has been recognized for its architectural beauty, won numerous awards in its 89 years, and has pro-duced many noteworthy alumni. It is simply put a community institution. It is also a very important part of the identity of the Heights (and thus the branding), an identity that is threat-ened by its removal. Because make no mistake – names and ideas are often far more important than tan-gibles, and even though it will be the same building, the same staff, and for a period the same students it will be a different school once the name has changed – a school without legacy.
The name change is motivated by recognition that some of our institu-tion names are offensive. And some of them are offensive, because people are offended. A concern if you will, over negative branding. A movement has swept through HISD to change
these offensive names, particularly those that were born out of the Con-federacy and thus imply support and approval of the Confederacy’s ideals and goals, specifically slavery in this case. I think holistically this is a valid conversation, one we as a society should be forced to struggle with pe-riodically.
My issue here however is that the HISD powers that be are attempting to address this conversation with a broad sweep of the hand, and thus throwing several babies out with the bathwater – John H. Reagan among them. The world, society, and histo-ry are built on nuances, nuances that are ignored by broad paint strokes such as these. There is a distinction that needs to be made between hon-oring someone because they were a Confederate, and honoring someone who was a Confederate.
I will not go into John H. Reagan’s personal resume here, except to say that I don’t believe that the name
change is justified and to encourage you to do your own research into the man named one of the Four Greatest Texans alongside Stephen F. Austin, Sam Houston, and James Stephen Hogg and draw your own conclu-sions. I will say that changing the name of Reagan High School will have a negative impact on our com-munity, and thus should only be done if it is firmly necessary. Few neigh-borhoods have the rich history that the Heights enjoys, and that history informs all of those wonderful things I mentioned above for which our brand is known. When we turn our back on that history we endanger ev-erything that makes this community great and risk losing our individual community identity. We will merely be City of Houston such and such street at such and such street. A rally is being held at the SPJST Lodge on December 8th, in support of retain-ing the John H. Reagan name. You will see me there.

Rebranding Reagan High - For the better or worse?
By Jonathan [email protected]
When it comes to good breakfasts and lunch-es, nothing hits the spot quite like good old-fashioned diner food. It’s something George Simos and his son, Stephen, know better than most.
George Simos has been in the business since 1971 and previously had a location, known as Simos Grill, along Bissonnet, until 1992. The reason for moving was relatively simple.
“The person who owned the shopping cen-ter raised the rent on us and my father didn’t like the price,” Stephen Simos said. The res-taurant has sat at 5004 North Shepherd Drive ever since, and is a mom and pop (and son) anchor along the busy road, offering breakfast and brunch to patrons across a broad demo-graphic.
“I was 10 years old when he bought the place,” Stephen Simos said. “When I was younger it was a lot of the older generation but now you see a lot of younger folks. I get a lot of St. Pius X High School kids during the sum-mer, too.”
George Simos, who moved from Greece to Australia where he owned a coffee shop with his brother, moved to the US and worked in a major hotel in Houston before starting his grill. Owning his own restaurant was a lifelong dream and George Simos admits he enjoys hav-ing control even with his son and wife, Stella, working so closely at the diner.
“I want to control almost everything and I want to be on top of these guys,” George Si-mos said.
“You have me now,” Stephen Simos jokes
with his father about the checks and balances with working with his father. “I check his stuff out, he checks my stuff out.”
George Simos might say he’s retired, but his family knows the truth.
“He can’t get away,” Stephen Simos says with a laugh.
The menu stayed roughly the same with breakfast mainstays like toast, eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, omelettes, and pancakes, along with lunch specials like chicken fried steak, baked chicken, grilled pork chops and plenty of steamed veggies.
Stephen Simos said he and his father follow a simple philosophy that has kept them in busi-ness for generations – serving only fresh food.
“That’s my dad’s motto – if it isn’t fresh he
doesn’t fool with it,” Stephen Simos said.George Simos says he journeys to local
farmers markets for the majority of his ingredi-ents and said that about 90 percent of the food served in the restaurant is fresh. The big sellers are chicken and dumplings, beef stew, cabbage rolls, gyro sandwiches and other dishes.
“We support the community any way we can and we try to hire Waltrip graduates part time while they’re working in college along with other students,” Stephen Simos said. “We love this community.”
Simo’s Diner is open from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. For more infor-mation call 713-697-5553.

For The Leader
Shoppers across the nation showed their love for small businesses this weekend, as Small Business Saturday celebrated its sixth anniversary. According to the Post-Small Business Saturday Consumer Insights Survey from the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) and American Express, a record 95 million consumers shopped at independent businesses on Small Business Saturday, marking an 8% increase over 2014. Additionally, consumers spent roughly $16.2 billion on Small Business Saturday this year, up 14% from the $14.3 billion that was spent last year.
Other key insights from Small Business Saturday this year include:
-More than 4,100 Neighborhood Champi-ons around the country rallied local business-es and created events and activities in their communities, a 48% increase over 2014
-Over 200 Federal Officials and Agencies showed support for Small Business Saturday through posts on social media.
-More than 400 organizations signed up to support the nationwide initiative through the Small Business Saturday Coalition
“It’s very encouraging to see small busi-nesses participate every year and more shop-pers giving local entrepreneurs a chance to compete for their business,” said NFIB Presi-dent and CEO Dan Danner in a press release. “Americans are returning to Main Street for the things they need and ultimately that’s a very healthy economic trend.”
“Small Business Saturday is an increas-ingly important economic engine for inde-pendent businesses,” said Janey Whiteside, senior vice president and general manager of American Express OPEN in the release. “These impressive numbers demonstrate the value that Small Business Saturday brings to local businesses, and American Express is proud to support the Shop Small Movement. We encourage shoppers to support their local businesses not only on Small Business Satur-day, but all year long.”
The Small Business Saturday Consumer Insights Survey was conducted among a nationally representative sample of 2,363 males and females 18 years of age or older. The sample was collected using an email in-vitation and an online survey. The study was conducted anonymously by independent marketing performance specialist Ebiquity on November 29, 2015. The survey has an overall margin of error of +/- 2.0%, at the 95% level of confidence.

For The Leader
Mildred Holeman, Class of 1943, was inducted into the Carthage ISD Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame October 23, at the Texas Country Music Hall in Carthage, Texas, which coincidentally is situated on the same lot she lived during the first two years of her high school days.
Mildred worked her way from Smart’s Bottom Commu-nity through Carthage schools with many side jobs, to build a successful real estate and insur-ance business. Classes at South Texas School of Law led her to a 38 year legal secretary’s career with L. A. Kucera, the Attorney and Chairman of the Board of Liberty Savings Asso-ciation. Mr. Kucera’s practice focused on real estate and pro-bate matters and it was during those years, she learned bank-ing, finance, and politics. Upon Mr. Kucera’s death in 1987 she opened her business and spent many years continuing to help his clients and their families.
Early on in her career, Mil-dred became involved in Le-gal Secretary Associations. She served as President of the Houston Association, the Texas Association, and as Sec-retary of the International As-sociation, all of which entailed world-wide travel, including teaching a seminar to secretar-ies in St. Petersburg, Russia.
One of the endorsements from a classmate to the Selec-tion Committee for her award had this quote:
“I feel that Mildred’s story is a “rags to riches” Horatio Alger story of a poor young girl who had to help work her way even through high school and has gone on to achieve outstanding success in several areas of a distinguished career. Through it all, she has maintained her
humble nature.”In her life story, and her
speech to the 2016 Carthage Senior Class, Mildred’s quote in part:
“Reflecting back on all this means I cannot stop this story without professing and wit-nessing the goodness of God in my life. I know that God has had his hand on my head since my birth. He has been gracious to me at all times, whether I was accepting second-hand clothes in Carthage, or washing the school cafeteria’s towels at home waiting for them to dry on the wood heater over-night to take back to school in return for a free lunch (I generated my own food stamp program). When I was young, I was ashamed of it. Today I am grateful. I am grateful that God has allowed me to live, to teach Bible classes, to be an encourager, to pray for and help the sick and needy, and to do all the things I could not have done without these won-derful people God has put in my path. No matter how many bad things befall us, we know that God is in charge and great-er things await us in Heaven. In the meantime, I am having fun getting up every day, rubbing liniment on my arthritis, talk-ing my pills, and checking the obituaries to make sure mine’s not there! God Bless you and God Bless America.”
Business BriefsBook Scene
When The Leader last interviewed Virginia Martino with the Book Scene on 43rd St., she said she signed a three year lease but was looking for someone to buy both the name and her books so she could truly retire. Enter Alda Pool and Cathy Stringer, former employees of ExxonMobil, who retired from that company so they could “chase their dream.” Pool and Stringer have been co-owners of the store since October 1. Stringer said that they will maintain what Martino has done so far – including offering former customers their existing credit - while putting their own stamp on the store. A story hour for kids might be in the works if there’s enough interest.

The Grove at 43rd The Grove is now open for leasing after an extensive renovation. The
Grove at 43rd is owned and managed by Light Hill Partners. Property Manager Charmaine Szostek said that the apartments feature all new black appliances, energy efficient central a/c, granite countertops, plank flooring, and new cabinetry. In addition to the pool area there is a courtyard featuring two in ground BBQ pits. For more information call 832-925-7850 or visit www.thegroveat43rd.com.
The SignatureCare Emergency CenterThe center at 1925 E. T.C. Jester Blvd., appears to be closing in on
an opening. Their website says that their “brand-new freestanding emergency room will treat patients 24/7, 365 days a year.” They will be able to offer multi-slice CT scans, Ultrasound and digital X-rays, an onsite laboratory for fast test results and medical care for all age groups, including wound care, trauma care, and minor and major injury treatment. Leasing agent Hunter Jaggard with Avison Young told The Leader last January that at one time he was talking with a brewery who was interested in the space, which backs up to White Oak Bayou, but said, they “couldn’t make it work.”
Sara’s Bed & Breakfast Inn, 941 Heights Blvd., announced a facelift on their Facebook page with
a photo of the new blue paint job to prove it. Recommended by Lonely Planet and winner of the 2015 tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence, the 100+ year-old Inn, is popular all the time, but especially during the holidays.

Pet of the week
Dear Seeking Doggie Submission,You’re in luck because the
old adage, “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” just doesn’t hold water with most dogs. In fact, there are even some ba-sic commands that you can teach your dog at home that will greatly help him to inter-act more favorably at home as well as out and about.
“The first few commands are usually basic obedience commands such as sit, down, stay, walking on leash, and most importantly, to come when called,” said Elizabeth Bachle, a technician at the Tex-as A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sci-ences pharmacy and an agility instructor at Puppy Love train-ing. “These are a great founda-tion to training more complex behaviors and can keep your pet out of harm’s way.”
“Training your dog not only rewards good behaviors, but can also prevent unwanted behaviors before they begin,”
said Bachle. “I would highly encourage new puppy own-ers to attend a group class to socialize and create a strong foundation of learning, but dogs of all ages benefit from a new challenge.”
During training, it is impor-tant to use positive reinforce-ments when they’re showing progress. Rather than punish-ing your old man for all the things you don’t want him to do, concentrate on teaching him what you do want him to do. When your dog does something good, convince him to do it again by reward-ing him with a treat or a nice, long tummy scratch.
“One of the most important decisions you can make for your dog is the training method you decide to use at home or in group classes. There are many methods out there but I highly encourage the use of positive reinforcement techniques, such as clicker training, and discourage the use of punish-ment when training any dog,”
said Bachle. “Punishment can have a lot of negative effects, including fear, aggression, or distrust, while reinforcement is effective, builds confidence, and makes training fun for you and your dog!”
If you’ve tried training your dog one-on-one at home but seem to be getting nowhere, training classes can be a great alternative. Providing him with the opportunity to inter-act with other dogs and their owners in group classes can be a great way to socialize and expose your dog to new situa-tions and distractions in a safe environment.
Most importantly, remem-ber to be patient. Like chil-dren, dogs have short attention spans and learn at all different paces. If done with patience and persistence, training your pooch can be an enjoyable bonding experience for you both.
Do you have a question for Tabby? If so, email her at dear [email protected].
Tuppence is a dashing young Husky whose former life is hinted at, by the rope marks still visible on his neck (from being tied up for so long). Tuppence is about as smart a dude as you’ll find and is eager to please. He might do better in a home without small children, as Tuppence hasn’t ex-perienced much in life--short humans being one of them. If you’d like to welcome Tuppence into your home for the holidays, contact Scout’s Honor at: [email protected].
It’s never too late to have a well behaved dog
Dear Tabby,Our older dog has ter-
rible manners. It’s our fault because we never did obedience train-ing with him. Now he’s old and we’re afraid that we’ve missed the opportunity to have a well-behaved dog. Is there anything that we can do about this?

Neighbors: Waltrip senior Zach Dunn earns Eagle Scout rank in Troop 99
By elizabeth [email protected]
It’s been a big week for the Dunn family of Shepherd Park Terrace. Elizabeth Ann Dunn, 7 months old, was bap-tized at St. Matthews Method-ist Church on Sunday, Nov. 22, at 9:30 a.m. Proud parents are Natalie and Kevin Dunn. Godparents are Jenifer and Mike Forbes and Kimberly Dunn and Bekra Yorke. Elizabeth’s big brother Zach, a senior at Waltrip High School, earned his Eagle Scout rank in Troop 99 this past Mon-day, Nov. 30. Zach’s project was building a predator-proof chicken coop for the Last Or-ganic Outpost Farming Co-op. Zach would like to thank his mom Daria, stepmom Nata-lie, father Kevin, stepfather Craig, and his grandmother Glenda, as well as the Scouts and Scouters of Troop 99 for all of their help and support! And to cap off a sweet few days of celebration, Natalie celebrated her birthday on Dec. 2.
Happy birthday to Joshua Kornegay! Your family wishes you a very happy day of birth.
Happy belated birthday to Alice Jebbia who celebrated

Here’s an update on our busy neighbor Sarah Klein in Garden Oaks! Sarah’s parents, Mark and Elizabeth Klein, are proud to announce Sarah has been cast in A Christmas Story in the role of Esther Jane. The show will run Dec. 8 – 20 at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts. Addition-ally, Sarah was very excited to be on the Theatre Under the Stars’ float in the 69th Annual H-E-B Thanksgiving Day Pa-rade. Sarah is a 7th grader on the A Honor Roll in her 10th year at Garden Oaks Montes-sori Magnet (GOMM) and she is in her 5th year at TUTS: The Academy at Humphrey School of Musical Theatre (HSMT), spending an amazing 8 hours 3 days a week in pre-pointe, ballet, tap, jazz, voice and act-ing from September to May.
Bridgette Mongeon, a sculptor and our neighbor in Kentwood Manor, is jump-ing down the rabbit hole to a curious adventure. She has published 3D in Technology, Fine Art and Craft, Exploring 3D Printing, Scanning, Sculpting and Milling, a new book that has been a number one new release on Amazon, and also
has gained worldwide atten-tion with her Alice in Wonder-land sculpture project. Mon-geon has been incorporating digital technology in her fine artwork for years. She writes and speaks on this topic and now pushes the possibilities to new “curious” limits.
The Evelyn Rubenstein Park near Houston, Texas will soon be getting a monumental sculpture of Alice in Wonder-land’s Mad Hatter Tea Party created by Mongeon. Visitors to the sculpture can bring their lunch and have a picnic with Alice, The Mad Hatter, March Hare, Cheshire Cat and Dor-mouse.
So, you might ask, how does a traditional artist incorporate digital technology in her art studio? Mongeon does this in several different ways. You could say that Alice and her friends don’t need cakes and elixirs to grow. Instead, amaz-ingly, they get large and small through technology. Mongeon starts with digital designs to present to her client. She does this using a variety of software such as Daz, Poser, Zbrush, Mudbox and Photoshop. These designs help her to sell the cli-ent the idea. Working digitally also helps her to modify the general design.
The Mad Hatter scene went
through many different modi-fications including changing the size of the figures from life size to eight feet tall. The other advantage to working digitally is that she can work quickly and the physical work does not take up valuable real estate in her studio as does traditional sculpture. With the Alice project, she then created a traditional small sculpture of the scene as a maquette in clay. She scans each piece with her Next Engine scanner and brings them back into the computer for further modifica-tions. “I dance back and forth between digital and tradition-al; there are things that are easier to do in each discipline. For example, sculpting a tiny cup, saucer and pocket watch for the March hare is much easier digitally. But I do love the freedom and familiarity of touching traditional clay,” states Mongeon.
Mongeon will be document-ing the process of creating the Alice in Wonderland sculpture in a new book expected out in 2017. She will spend the next several months in a perpetual fall down the rabbit hole until she sends the full sized sculp-ture to the foundry. Plan on visiting Evelyn’s Park in Bel-laire in late 2016 when the art-work will be placed.

Officials say a mistake made with a gas line during an im-provement project caused a house fire at a residence near West 31st Street and Yale this past Sunday.
Houston Fire Department officials said the owner of the home and a roommate were
outside of the home during the afternoon of Nov. 29. They were trying to turn off the home’s natural gas valve prior to installing a new gas line into the home, however the valve broke and the gas ignited soon afterwards.
While there were no inju-ries, officials said the fire could only be extinguished after the gas line was disabled.

Want to help plumbers spend more time with their families this holiday season? Don’t pour cooking fats, oil or grease (FOG) in your kitchen sinks. Many of us make the common and costly mistake of pouring cooking fats, oils, and grease in the kitchen sinks, causing sanitary sewer clogs. Fats, veg-etable oils and grease, when poured into drains, cool down, solidify and clog the pipes. Cooking grease can get as hard
as concrete, causing sewage to back-up and overflow into streets, yards, storm ditches, and yes, even your homes. The most practical way to reduce grease overflows in your home is to follow these easy steps.
• Consider pouring grease into coffee cans, cups and other storage devices to collect your cooking oil or grease.
• Use paper towels to soak up grease in pans after it cools and dispose in the trash.
• Remember, garbage dis-posals are not effective for dis-posing of fats, oils and greases.
• Soapy hot water is not a so-lution to keeping kitchen drains from getting clogged.
• Do not flush baby wipes, bathroom counter wipes down your toilet. The toilet is not a trash can! Some items that claim to be flushable are not.
• If it doesn’t dissolve, don’t flush in! It must be soluble.
• Do not flush list: Diapers, paper towels, facial tissues, baby wipes, cotton balls, hair, gum, candy wrappers, dental floss, hygiene products, clean-ing wipes, dead gold fish, Band-Aids.
Cooler temperatures cause grease to harden quicker in the sanitary sewer lines. Re-member, homeowners are re-sponsible for maintaining their sanitary sewer lines from their homes to the city line connec-tion.
If a blockage is causing problems in a home and it is discovered to be in a city line, a crew will come out and clear
the line. For more information on
how you can reduce sewer line blockages, visit the “Corral the Grease” website at http://www.publicworks.houstontx.gov/utilities/corral_grease.html.

With all the discussion about a potential name change for Reagan High School, The Leader decided to look at the names of some other area schools to see who they are named for. Last week was part one. Curious about a particu-lar school? See http://www.houstonisd.org/Page/32485
Sinclair Elementary School 6410 Grovewood
A prominent Heights physi-cian, Thomas Albert Sinclair, was one of the founders of Heights Hospital. Sinclair was named for him when the school opened in 1959. Sin-clair was born in the Houston Heights in 1922 and attended Reagan High School. Dr. Sin-clair founded his private prac-tice and practiced medicine at Heights Hospital, a hospi-tal founded by his father, Dr. Thomas A. Sinclair, Sr., where he delivered over 3500 babies during his career. He died in 2011.
Stevens Elementary School1910 LaMonte
It is HISD’s director of music who had a “magic way with children” who is on the sign at Stevens. Lulu M. Ste-vens was born on a farm near Mount Vernon, Iowa in 1881 and after graduating from Grinnell College, she attended the Chicago Conservatory of Music. Miss Stevens came to Houston in 1915 as Assistant Supervisor of Music in HISD.
A year later, she became the director. She held the position until the time of her retire-ment in 1942. Stevens died in 1943 and Stevens Elementary opened in 1952.
Travis Elementary School 3311 Beauchamp
William Barrett Travis, a former teacher, and strug-gling newspaper publisher, will forever be remembered for his for his ‘Victory of Death’ letter from the Alamo. Author Steven L. Hardin said that Travis considered dis-obeying his orders, writing to Governor Henry Smith: “I am willing, nay anxious, to go to the defense of Bexar, but sir, I am unwilling to risk my repu-tation ... by going off into the enemy’s country with such little means, so few men, and
with them so badly equipped.” He went of course, where he died with 180 Texans in 1836. The Beauchamp Springs School, built in 1903, was renamed in his memory and enlarged in 1908, 1926, and 1980. The original structure has since been razed.
Wainwright Elementary School 5330 Milwee
A military veteran of two World Wars, Jonathan May-hew Wainwright died almost 10 years before the school that bears his name was built in 1962. After his release from a Japanese prison camp in 1945, he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor and promoted to four-star general. He was assigned as commander of Second
Service Command and the Eastern Defense Command at Fort Jay, Governors Island, New York. In January 1946, he became the commander of the Fourth Army at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, where he re-tired in August 1947.
Black Middle School1575 Chantilly
Frank M. Black started teaching at Houston’s Cen-tral High School when he was 23. Later, he was named principal of Travis School and South End Junior High (renamed San Jacinto High School). Black was one of the organizers of Houston Junior College, which is now the University of Houston. Black Middle School has car-ried Frank’s name since it was built in 1957.
Clifton Middle School6001 Golden Forest
Ruby Sue Clifton was born in 1910 near Crockett, Texas. After a few years of teaching, she began working as a sec-retary in HISD. She spent 34 years in the Board Services office, retiring as assistant su-perintendent. Clifton Middle School was built in 1979 and named in her honor.
Hogg Middle School1100 Mervill
James S. Hogg, the first na-tive born governor of Texas, is the name behind this Heights school. Before his election as governor, Hogg served as the county attorney of Wood County, district attorney for the Old Seventh District, and Texas’ attorney general. He is also known for the unusual name he gave his well-known philanthropist daughter, Ima Hogg. The Hogg estate do-nated the land on which Hogg Junior High School was built in 1926.
Johnson Middle School10410 Manhattan
Like John H. Reagan, Al-bert Sidney Johnston has Confederate ties. He served as a general in three differ-ent armies: the Texian (i.e., Republic of Texas) Army, the United States Army, and the Confederate States Army. A West Point graduate, he was killed during the Battle of Shi-loh and buried in Texas. Al-most 100 years after his death Johnston Middle School was named for him.
Scarborough High School4141 Costa Rica
George Cameron Scarbor-ough taught and served as assistant principal of Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson and Thomas Edison Junior High Schools and as princi-pal of Sidney Lanier Middle School. He was named act-ing superintendent of HISD in 1957 and served as super-intendent of Northeast ISD from 1958 to 1965. Scarbor-ough High School was built in 1968 and named for him.
Waltrip High School1900 West 34th
Stephen Pool Waltrip began teaching school in Texas at the ripe age of 16. He served as superintendent of schools in Harrisburg, Gruenen (West End), and the Houston Heights, all of which were later annexed by the City of Houston. He was named prin-cipal of John Reagan High School in 1918 and when Wal-trip High School was built in 1959, it bore his name.
Washington High School119 East 39th
This school, originally named Colored High School was renamed Booker T. Washington Junior–Senior High School in 1927. Booker T. Washington was a famous educator, founder of the Tuskegee Institute, and the author of Up from Slavery. The school opened in 1893, moved to its present location in 1959, and became a high school in 1978.
Uncovering names behind the area’s public schools
Travis Elementary School was named after William Barrett Travis, a former teacher and struggling newspaper publisher before the Alamo made him famous.

Patricia Dornak with Ministry Assistance of the Near North-west Alliance (MANNA) said that this was the first year that the organization provid-ed a Thanksgiving dinner for families in need. More than 200 volunteers from the com-munity took part – whether by collecting food, decorating grocery bags, frying turkeys, and loading a meal into the car for 150 families who may not have a Thanksgiving meal otherwise. “MANNA would like to thank each and every one of our volunteers who made this possible for the families,” said Dornak. “MANNA has been truly blessed this year and we are thankful for all of our volunteers and this incredible and generous com-munity.”
Photo by Jonathan GarrisHarris County Precinct One Constable Alan Rosen distributed turkeys to needy families throughout the Houston area including this family living along North Shepherd Nov. 25. This was one of many stops for deputies, who also visited senior living homes and others in need of a Thanksgiving meal in time for the holiday.
