Energy students kept busy over the summer and we are excited to feature their experiences in our weekly newsletter. This week learn about eleventh grade student Jhane Wong's summer research and leadership experiences.
This summer I participated in the Free Enterprise Leadership Challenge (FELC) residential program at Houston Baptist University. The campers were split up into teams; my team was "FunEntertainment". Everyday my team had to compete with the other teams by supplying activities to our fellow campers based on their interest, and profit from it. The team who made the most profit at the end of the program, won. Teams had the opportunity to do whatever they wanted with the money. My team chose to donate it to the program to help more students come to this camp next year. This was a first-hand experience on what it takes to run a successful business. I learned the basics of being an entrepreneur as it relates to the business industry. I enjoyed this program gave me the opportunity to network with other teens with similar interest.
I also participated in a seven week Research & Engineering Apprenticeship Program (REAP) which is funded by the Army Educational Outreach Program (AEOP). During my internship with REAP, I worked under the supervision of a mentor (PhD student) on a research project in a laboratory at Texas Southern University. My research project was on "The Effect of Trace Metals on the Growth of Escherichia Coli HO157:H7. The purpose of my experiment was to determine if the amount of harmful E. coli would diminish based upon a increasing concentration of Lead and Cadmium. I learned about career opportunities in STEM, and I was able to get a firsthand experience of being a researcher; creating, and executing experiments in the lab. This internship is something I will never forget. Hopefully, one day my research will be published.

College Access Coordinator |
We are excited to introduce Mrs. Carmen Schumacher to our Energy family! Mrs. Schumacher will be working with students as our College Access Coordinator. Mrs. Schumacher was over 13 years of experience in higher education, working in college admissions and academic advising for Texas A&M University. She was an academic advisor for the College of Education and Dwight Look College of Engineering. As an admissions recruiter, she counseled students on the application, admission and financial aid processes.
She received a Bachelor's of English and a Masters of Science in Himan Resource Development - both from Texas A&M. Mrs. Schumacher's husband is a high school teacher and her daughter is a junior Business Management major at Texas A&M. Originally from San Antonio, she moved to Houston over four years ago. She loves to read, watch sports - especially football, soccer, and basketball; attend concerts and travel. She is very involved in a dog rescue group in Houston and has three rescue dogs - Bo, Scout, and Sherman. Mrs. Schumacher is most looking forward to helping the first senior class of Energy Institute as they apply to their desired colleges and universities! She is extremely passionate about helping students realize their potential and achieve their goals in attending the higher education institution of their choice. We are very luck to have Mrs. Schumacher joining us this year. Be sure to stop by room 206 and say hello!

Bus route postcards were mailed last week by HISD's transportation department. However, if you enrolled over the summer, you most likely did not receive a bus route. You can check Energy routes at
http://www.houstonisd.org/transportation.
Route Changes:
Route changes will not be finalized until the middle of September. In the meantime, if you would like to request a different route, please contact Mr. Skinner in the main office. He will provide students with a temporary pass that will ensure they are allowed on the newly requested bus route.
Update Current Home Address
If your mailing address has changed since you either registered your new student or since last year, please submit a utility bill (gas, electric, water) with your new address as soon as possible to Mr. Skinner in the main office. This information is imperative for us to have in order to provide the HISD transportation department with the correct addresses to plan routes.
Here Comes the Bus
To actively monitor bus routes, bus locations, and pick up times please set up an account at
www.herecomesthebus.com. You must set up your account on a desktop, but after the initial set up and login, you should be able to access the application for your mobile device. The Energy School Code is:
76647.
