Three of Lakemont’s Foster High School students excelled at the Texas Forensic League State Tournament in El Paso this March: Gabrielle Webster and Mary Alyson Atkins were 8th in Public Forum Debate, and Stephen Vincent was the only junior to advance to quarter finals in Lincoln-Douglas Debate. Vincent also advanced to the quarter-final round in Original Oratory and the semi-finals in Domestic Extemporaneous.
The Texas Forensic Association mission is to advance the theater and forensic arts in both education and to the public and many tournaments are hosted around the state of Texas throughout the year. Achievement in TFA tournaments marshals a profound skill set that yields insights and advantages across several career paths, from medicine to law, business to public service.

La Centerra at Cinco Ranch is hosting the Making A Mark Children’s Art Exhibit in partnership with the Katy Visual Arts and Performing Center (KVAPC). Lakemont residents are invited to come out to see the inspiring art!
Making A Mark, is the Texas Children's Cancer Center and Hematology Service's touring art exhibition presented by The Periwinkle Foundation. All the art in the exhibit was created by young people with cancer or blood diseases, and began and continues as an effort to allow expression and focus for the personal issues these children face. Some of it is very remarkable in its positive and inspiring content!
The art exhibit will be on displayed April 19 - 28 in Suite C140 of La Centerra, between Simply Cinco and Panera Bread. The art itself is collected and displayed throughout the year at the Texas Children’s Hospital, and special selections from that exhibit are sent on tour across the state.

Old-Town Charm of Richmond Lands the City In A Texas Lottery Commercial The city of Richmond served as a unique backdrop for a new Texas Lottery commercial, highlighting Richmond’s recognition for old-town charm as well as serving education needs in Texas in late March, 2010.
The commercial features a giant red ball rolling down a quaint and beautiful downtown Richmond street to the awe of passers-by, highlighting the Texas Lottery’s new participation in the high-stakes multi-state PowerBall Lottery. PowerBall jackpots have reached hundreds of millions of dollars, and, as with all Texas Lottery sales, the Texas ticket proceeds go to the Foundation School Fund to benefit education in Texas. Over the last twelve years, Texas Lottery has funded $12 billion in Texas education.
