As we approach the end of winter and emerge from an unseasonably cold season in the Lone Star State, students and families are undoubtedly looking forward to a little fun in the sun during Spring Break.
An easy car ride from The Woodlands area, Margaritaville Lake Resort, Lake Conroe | Houston offers the perfect place to relax and unwind or discover a Texas-sized adventure.
It feels like home.
I genuinely expected it to feel like many things, but not home. The Woodlands Christian Academy – an independent, Christ-centered college preparatory school for grades K-12 in The Woodlands - is warm and vibrant and unpretentious and, just… in a word… lovely.
That energy I feel on campus. How would I describe it? On a beautiful day, “The Grove” serves as a secure space for eager students to congregate at picnic tables with friends or to leaf through a textbook. Younger ones revel in the school’s expansive, open playground that’s worthy of its own park. Strong athletics. Performing & fine arts. Mission projects. Class trips and retreats. Author visits. Nutritious, chef-prepared meals.

Sometimes it's hard to figure out this recycling thing. What's considered trash? How do I prep my recyclables? Should I be rinsing these cans first? And what do I do with all these pizza boxes from last night's party?
Well, recycling can be simple for you yet! The Woodlands Township has put together these straight-forward guidelines that show us all we need to know about what's acceptable to be recycled, and how to properly prepare our items. For instance, did you know we shouldn't be bagging our recyclables? And plastic bags are not an acceptable recyclable?

Pine Cove Park is open and you’ll love it!! We couldn’t find an address on this place, but I’ve included a map at the bottom of this post along with a few locating tips.
I’ve been anxiously waiting for over a year for the fence around this new park to come down, and finally – as of January 31, 2021, there’s no fence and the park it’s open! Harris County has made such wonderful use of this gem of a space located in the Augusta Pines area only a couple of minutes south of The Woodlands.
