Aisha's Salon & Spa opened a new location in Cypress on Sept. 1, located at 25282 Northwest Freeway Ste. 160, Cypress. 

The details: The business offers a wide variety of beauty services, including lash extensions, eyebrow tinting and threading, facials and styling for special occasions. Aisha's Salon & Spa has 24 locations around Greater Houston, with several near the Cy-Fair area. 

Nine candidates are running for three positions on the Cy-Fair ISD board of trustees in the upcoming Nov. 4 general election. Position 6 incumbent Scott Henry will compete against Cleveland Lane Jr. and trustee Natalie Blasingame for the Position 6 seat. 

Some context: Blasingame currently serves as the Position 5 trustee, but she filed to run for Position 6 this year rather than running as the incumbent for her current seat. The elected Position 6 trustee will serve a four-year term.

This school year, students who are eligible for reduced-price meals can receive free breakfast and lunch at public schools across Texas.

The overview: During the recent legislative session, state lawmakers approved $19.8 million to cover the cost of reduced-price meals for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 school years.

What parents should know: Eligibility for free school meals is determined based on a family’s income through the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program.

Families can contact their school district to fill out an application for free or reduced-price meals at any time during the school year. Students who are deemed eligible for reduced-price meals will receive them at no cost through the 2026-27 school year.

What they're saying: “Kids who would have paid a small fee for meals will now receive them at no cost,” said Stacie Sanchez Hare, director of No Kid Hungry Texas. “[School] is where we know so many kids get their meals—it is a guaranteed place for kids to have access to free and nutritional meals.”
