Statistics show a majority of juvenile and adult inmates in the United States come from fatherless homes—a statistic that helped inspire Bayonle Arashi to create Midas Football Academy.

How it started: The academy was created with the goal of providing guidance, mentorship and positive role models for young people through sports, said Arashi, who serves as the organization's executive director.

“When I worked in the criminal justice system as a correctional officer, I saw what can happen when young people lack access to opportunity, structure, mentorship and life skills,” he said.

How it works: Arashi said the academy operates three core programs designed to serve youth, with the first being the “Right to Play” model, which focuses on youth soccer development.

The academy also offers a structured mentorship initiative called "Iwuri," which means "aspire," he said. The six-month program for teenagers ages 13 to 18 combines leadership development, vocational training, mental health support and mentorship.

Meanwhile, the organization’s third program focuses on workforce pathways outside of college.

Amped Fitness will open its doors in Colony Square Plaza in Sugar Land this July, officials confirmed.

What they offer: The 24/7 gym—available for ages 13 and up—offers a number of zones including cardio and strength, functional as well as abs and glutes, according to its website.

What else: The gym will also offer a recovery space featuring cold plunges, infrared saunas, hydromassage beds, cyrobeds, percussion therapy and normatec boots as well as a kids club, per the website.

Dates to know: The gym will host its grand opening event July 1 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. featuring music, vendors and an appearance by the Sugar Land Space Cowboys, per its Facebook.

The State Board of Education is nearing the finish line in its massive rewrite of what Texas public school students will learn about world and state history.

The details: The curriculum overhaul would shift the focus in social studies classes to a Texas-centered approach, deemphasizing lessons about world cultures and injecting more content about Christianity’s role in the founding of the United States.

Some educators and students have expressed concerns that the proposal lacks significant teachings about civil rights history, Japanese internment in the 1940s and people of color’s contributions to the nation. Meanwhile, Republican board members have pushed back, saying that the rewrite is necessary to teach students about American exceptionalism and Texas heritage in an attempt to undo what they called “a watering-down of American history.”

What's happening: The board has spent the bulk of its meetings this week making amendments to a 143-page social studies proposal, which includes hundreds of standards that students would be expected to learn each year. If adopted June 26, the new requirements would take effect in 2030.
