ing the day in or near the water, or just relaxing with family and friends, a few sim-ple safety tips can keep the celebration going and keep you out of the emergencydepartment,” said Paul Kivela, MD, MBA, FACEP, president of the AmericanCollege of Emergency Physicians. More than 11,100 people went to the emergency room with injuries from fire-works in 2016, according to the most recent data available from the ConsumerProduct Safety Commission. Children younger than 15 years of age accounted for31 percent of the estimated 2016 injuries. And, 69 percent of the emergency depart-ment-treated injuries were burns. Emergency physicians strongly encourage people to leave fireworks to the pro-fessionals. If fireworks are legal in your area, ACEP strongly urges you to avoidusing them near residential areas. Children should never play with fireworks orsparklers and older children should always be supervised. If you are drinking alco-hol, please do not handle fireworks or supervise others who may rely on you if anemergency occurs. Some additional firework safety tips: •Avoid purchasing or using illegal fireworks. Do not attempt to make your own. •Read warning labels and follow all instructions. Do not use fireworks in anyway other than suggested on the label. •Keep a bucket of water or fire extinguisher on hand. •Light fireworks one at a time. •Dispose of all fireworks properly. Soak them all in water before throwing themaway. •Do not light fireworks indoors or near other objects. •Avoid burns or other accidents by not standing or crouching over fireworkswhen trying to light the fuse. Immediately back up to a safe distance after you lightit. •Do not point or throw fireworks at another person.

The nation’s emer-gency physicians urgethose celebratingIndependence Day toexercise good judgementand to be mindful ofpotential dangers, espe-cially from accidents withfireworks. “Whether you aregrilling, camping, spend-

•Do not re-light a malfunctioning “dud” or pick up fireworks that have not ignit-ed fully. •Dress appropriately. Loose fitting clothes could be a fire hazard or become tan-gled or caught. •Setting off fireworks in glass or metal containers can create fragments that cancause severe injury. For those celebrating outside, it is important to monitor your fluid intake, espe-cially in warm weather. Limit the likelihood of dehydration by drinking plenty ofwater. Young children and senior citizens are especially vulnerable to heat-relatedillness, and risks increase with exertion. Apply (and re-apply) sunscreen when par-ticipating in outdoor activities. Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to avoidable accidents and could putyour friends and loved ones at risk, too. Don’t drink and drive! Arrange for a des-ignated driver in advance whenever possible. It is important to remain aware thatalcohol accelerates the effects of heat-related illness. Nobody wants a stomach issue to ruin a picnic or to cut the celebration short.Refrigerate any food that needs to be kept cold. Food poisoning can occur in as littleas one hour when temperatures are over 90 F. Foods that need to be kept coldshould be placed in a cooler or on ice to maintain a temperature of 40 F. If you or aloved one has a food allergy, it may be appropriate to carry medication and be pre-pared with an action plan in the event of an allergic reaction. Heading to the pool, lake or other water activity? For swimmers, always try tohave a lifeguard or chaperone keeping an eye on children. For boaters, review safeboating laws and procedures, and make sure you have a current license and updatedsafety equipment and life jackets on board before heading out. If you plan to cook on a grill, whether you are a novice or an expert, be mindfulof risks involved with open fires or gas lines. Keep the family football games orother recreational activities a reasonable distance away from the flames. Hikers and campers, protect yourself with appropriate gear and insect repellent.If you are hiking in a remote location, alert family or friends of your departure timeand approximate route.

I am the flag of the United States of America.My name is Old Glory.I fly atop the world’s tallest buildings.I stand watch in America’s halls of justice.I fly majestically over institutions of learning.I stand guard with power in the world.Look up and see me.

I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice.I stand for freedom. I am confident.I am arrogant. I am proud.When I am flown with my fellow banners,My head is a little higher,My colors a little truer. I bow to no one!I am recognized all over the world. I am worshiped - I am saluted.I am loved - I am revered.I am respected - I am feared.

I have fought in every battle of every war for more than 200 years. I wasflown at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Shiloh and Appomattox.I was there at San Juan Hill, the trenches of France, in the ArgonneForest, Anzio, Rome and the beaches of Normandy.Guam, Okinawa, Korea and KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam know me.I was there. I led my troops.I was dirty, battleworn and tired,But my solders cheered me and I was proud.

I have been burned, torn and trampled in the streets of countries I havehelped set free.It does not hurt for I am invincible.I have been soiled upon, burned, torn and trampled in the streets of mycountry.And when it’s done by those whom I’ve served in battle - it hurts.But I shall overcome - for I am strong.I have slipped the bonds of Earth and stood watch over the unchartedfrontiers of space from my vantage point on the moon.I have borne silent witness to all America’s finest hours.But my finest hours are yet to come.When I am torn into strips and used as bandages for my wounded com-rades on the battlefield, when I am flown at half-mast to honor my sol-dier, or when I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent at the graveof their fallen son or daughter,

I am proud.I am the flag of the United States of America.

The White Settlement ISD Board of Trustees approved a $4,000 raise forteachers in addition to the step increase (an 8.17 percent raise for the 2019-20 school year) on June 25. All other team members will receive a 5 percentof the midpoint raise. WSISD received an additional $2.6 million from the state that could beused for teacher raises through House Bill 3. “WSISD was able to add more than a $1/2 million in addition to the stateallotment this year,” Molinar said. “District program changes and cost saving plans that we've implementedover the past two years enabled us to provide an even bigger salary increasefor our staff members (beyond what state law required),” said SuperintendentFrank Molinar. HB 3 requires school districts to use 70 percent of the new funding forteacher salaries; WSISD used 100 percent of the new funding for employeesalaries. WSISD conducted a salary study over the past year with the goal of pro-viding more competitive salaries for all staff members. All employees whoreceive the 5 percent raise will now have an adjusted midpoint, placing themin the top 90th percentile compared with other Texas school districts. “All of our team members are vital to the success of our children,” saidMolinar. “We continue to strive for competitive compensation for the individualswho are truly impacting our future generation.”

Fine Arts Academy Students TurnInto "Clinkers" While LearningNew Dance

Benbrook Hawks 10U-A Team TakesFirst Place at USSSA World SeriesTournament

Fine Arts Academy students learned Tinikling, a traditional Philippinefolk dance, in Anna Falcon’s PE classes this year. Students use elastic bands and switch between jumping with their feetapart and together to simulate the movement of the wooden poles that areused in traditional Tinikling. “Clinkers” work together to move in sync, promoting rhythm and team-work. The activity also teaches hand coordination and foot speed. The White Settlement ISD Education Foundation awarded Falcon aninnovative teaching grant to implement the program.

The Benbrook Hawks 10U baseball team, fresh off a tournament win atthe Granbury All-Star Classic, competed in the USSSA “A” World Series lastweek. It was a five-day event hosting teams from Texas and neighboringstates that took place in Cedar Hill. After a loss in their first of three pool play games, the Hawks chargedback to win the next two games by a combined score of 41-1, earning thenumber three seed for bracket play. The hit parade was led by Zach Walker, who had help from all of histeammates, including big hits from Kyle Owen and Pierce Battle. As if thelive bats weren’t enough, key defensive plays by Keaton Hennessey and JaxParr helped secure the victories. In bracket play, the Hawks kept rolling. The Hawks won their first twogames with smart base running and timely hitting off the bats of GregoryTarpley and Jacob Carpenter, landing them in the semi-finals. After losing in the semi-finals and mustering just one run in the game, theHawks caught fire again. With one loss in the double-elimination contest, thehawks won their next game 18-5. This victory put them in the finals with achance to avenge an earlier loss, only they would have to beat their opponenttwice. The Hawks took the first game with a score of 12-3 behind a soliddefensive team effort, including a strong catching performance by MaxTarpley. The hits kept coming as well, capped by a two-out double hit downthe left-field line by the team’s only female player, Camryn Bentley. Needing another victory, the Hawks did not let up. A shut-down perform-ance by pitcher Parker Mix, coupled with the unyielding bats of the Hawksfrom players like Nathaniel Cortez who had multiple extra-base hits in thegame, put the Hawks in a great position to win. In the bottom of the third inning and needing just one more run to elimi-nate their opponent, Walker drove a pitch to the outfield to send Owen tohome, securing the Hawks first World Series championship.

The 10U Benbrook Hawks baseball team members are: (front row) CoachMike Bentley; (second row, l-r) Keaton Hennessey, Pierce Battle,Nathaniel Cortez, Parker Mix, Max Tarpley, Kyle Owen; (third row)Camryn Bentley, Jax Parr, Jacob Carpenter, Zach Walker, GregoryTarpley; (back row) Coach Toby Owen and Coach Scott Walker.

North Elementary StudentsCommand Robots to Drive AroundCity They Designed

North Elementary second graders recently built a city, designed roads,and then used codes to command robots to follow the roads. The students learned coding skills by using Dash Robots and Ozobotswith an app. Teacher Lisa Williams purchased the robots with an innovativegrant funded by the White Settlement ISD Education Foundation. She said the grant enabled the kids had to work together, solve challengesand then agree on a common plan. North Elementary was recently deemed a STEAM Academy for imple-menting Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math in every class.
