Bingo Night
Bingo night was a great
success. It was standing room only at the Ponderosa Fire station
on Saturday, April 14. With bingo cards going for the bargain
price $1 each we sold all available cards. Friends and neighbors enjoyed
a game that got people mingling and talking before the bingo games
started. Everyone had a great time playing bingo, eating pizza and
winning prizes. Thank you to everyone that helped make this event
possible by volunteering their time with the Ponderosa Civic
Association. As always, thank you to our teenage crew with the
help during set up and clean up.
As was mentioned at the
opening of bingo night, due to lack of volunteers for the PFCA
Board this was our last scheduled activity until further notice.
Anyone interested in attending our last scheduled monthly PFCA meeting
is welcomed to attend on May 2nd, at 6:30 PM at the Ponderosa Fire
station. We are still hoping that interested residents will join
the board so that the PFCA can continue with their activities.

Ponderosa Elementary to Host 40th Birthday Celebration Oct. 13
Ponderosa Elementary School is hosting a 40th Birthday Celebration at 9 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 13 in the school gymnasium. A ceremony commemorating the school's history will feature fourth-grade students in a musical performance about changes that have occurred in our society.
A reception following the ceremony will be held in
the library where guests will have the opportunity to "walk down" Memory
Lane, which includes a special collection of Ponderosa memorabilia that
spans the school's past 40 years.
"Ponderosa shares its rich history with many students, staff, parents
and community members who have each contributed in some way to the
success of our school over the past 40 years. We would love to have them
join us in celebrating this occasion. It will be an opportunity for them
to share their memories and see the positive changes that have taken
place at our school," said Deborah Graham, Ponderosa principal.
Ponderosa Elementary School opened in 1971. It is Spring ISD's third elementary school and is named after the community in which it is located. Renovations and a new addition to the building were completed in August 2008 with funding from the bond referendum that was approved by voters in May 2007.
Ponderosa Lost Pet Recovery
Lost or found a Pet? We want to help!
Ponderosa residents, Charlene and Jeremy
Buchheit, have volunteered to help out as recovery coordinators for lost
pets of Ponderosa Forest homeowners.
If you have lost a pet or found one and
you want some extra help connecting the pet with owner then you can go
directly to the new Facebook page created just for this purpose.
Ponderosa residents can post information regarding lost or found pets to
help reunite them with their owners.
Not a Facebook user? You can contact
Charlene and Jeremy directly at
Jeremy.Buchheit@yahoo.com
with information and pictures regarding a lost or found pet. They
will help post your information.
We hope that this service will help make recovery of lost animals of our Ponderosa residents easier. Please be sure to let Charlene and Jeremy know when pets are matched up with their owners so that we can focus our efforts on those that still need to be re-united.
A big "THANK YOU" goes to Charlene and
Jeremy for taking on this endeavor and making Ponderosa better through
volunteering their time.
***For your convenience a link to the "Ponderosa Forest Pet Recovery Help" Facebook page will be a permanent addition to our home page.
