What’s New In Cypress 🌲

Meet Rebecca: The Heart Behind Patio Pumpkins πŸŽƒ

A few weeks ago, I introduced you to an exciting new business here in Cypressβ€”Patio Pumpkins, and now that we’re officially in pumpkin season, I want to shine the spotlight again on its founder, Rebecca.

Rebecca is a superstar wife, mom, and local business owner who saw a gap in our community: no one was offering fresh, beautifully curated patio pumpkin displays. So she and her family launched Patio Pumpkins this year to fill that needβ€”and we couldn’t be happier to support them in their very first season.

All of Rebecca’s pumpkins are sourced locally (yes, you’re shopping small and local!), and she offers five affordable packages to fit any size porch or patio.

🚨 Special for Cypress Digest Readers: Use code PPC17 at checkout to get 10% off your orderβ€”that’s up to $135 in savings on your pumpkin package!

CFISD Launches Virtual Pathways Program, Giving Students More Choice Than Ever Before

This was my first exclusive with the Cy-Fair ISD, and I am so grateful for their being open to the opportunity to collaborate. So, back in August, it was announced that we had assigned Dr. Meredith Akers as the director of the upcoming β€˜Virtual Pathways’ program.

Then… silence. No one really talked about the program, and no details were released. After some digging, I got in touch with a district rep and Dr. Akers herself for a peek behind the curtains at this new program for 2026. I was suspecting it was an online option (obviously), but they went so much further. [Read The Article Here.]

We are heading into the final part of September, which means the gates of pumpkin patches and weekend fall festivals are not too far off.

Meet The Candidates Battling for Pos. 5 on The School Board

Cypress is gearing up to fill some board seats this November, and with three positions available (5,6, and 7), there are 9 candidates total in the elections. Today, we’re focusing on position 5, which is currently held by Dr. Natalie Blasingame, who is seeking election to a different seat. On the ballot for this open position are Terrance Edmond, Lesley Guilmart, and Radele Walker.

  • One is a business leader and former CFISD student turned educator.

  • Another is a career educator and nonprofit leader with deep ties to the district.

  • The third is a retired administrator with decades of service in CFISD classrooms and schools.

    Together, they represent three very different pathways to leadershipβ€”but all with the same goal: shaping the future of Cy-Fair ISD. [Read My Article Here.]

I gave a quote to The Daily Mail About Cypress… 😳

Truly a proud moment as a publisher. If you didn’t know, The Daily Mail is a large publication with rich ties in the UK; however, they are expanding their arm further into the US, and they wanted to do a short write-up about Cypress and the community. (Given the growth lately.) Now, keep in mind, I have articles published in Forbes, USA Today, and more, but never did I think I’d be asked to contribute to a story about my community.

How did I do? I wasn’t a huge fan of the title. Again, I only gave a quote; I did not write this story. [Read The Article Here]
