David Squires, Assistant Principal at Lamar Consolidated High School was the guest speaker of the June Breakfast in the Bend. Currently supervising the Science and Career & Technical Education Departments, Squires educated those attending on an up and coming Aquaponics Laboratory expected to be brought to life in the fall of 2016. He highlighted some of the advantages of the Laboratory such as the ability to have “incredible amounts of produce grown in a short period of time”. The Aquaponics system will be put together and managed by Academic students, to Life Skills students, continuing on to AP students. There are currently 35 courses that relate to the Aquaponics systems. Squires shared that “L.C.I.S.D’s vision is to have students not only participate, but do so in a meaningful, collaborative way”.
The monthly networking breakfast was held at the Memorial Hermann Hospital in Sugar Land. Guests who attended were the first to gather in the hospital’s newly constructed conference room. Gregory Haralson, CEO of the Sugar Land location showed excitement and thanked everyone for coming sharing their accomplishments on their recent facility expansions. Adding 25,000 square feet, Memorial Hermann Sugar Land now has the ability to grow and offer services beyond the capabilities the hospital used to have. “Our goal at Memorial Hermann is to provide high quality care in the best possible setting, as health care changes and cost of healthcare continues to increase; it’s important that you as a patient can access care at an appropriate cost with the trusted brand of Memorial Hermann”
