CFISD Celebrates Their School Nurses

Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District is honoring their hard working nurses throughout the month of May, which included May 11th, the day designated as National School Nurse Day by the National Association of School Nurses.

National School Nurse Day was designed in an effort to give better understanding of the role of school nurses in the educational setting and to celebrate school nurses for all they do for their students and faculty.


Susan and Doug Portwood love living in Cypress Creek Lakes, the home they had built by Coventry Homes, the lifestyle afforded to them there and the many neighbors they have gotten to know. They’re known in the community for being outgoing, friendly and having a beautiful home, a stunning back yard and outdoor living area;  and even more important to the younger residents of the community – their home is the place where Santa lives. That’s because Doug has played Santa Claus for the kids in the community for years.

And for as much as the Portwoods have enjoyed living in Cypress Creek Lakes, they have made the decision to move to the Dallas area, to be close to their children an extended family and have put their home on the market. And for one lucky buyer, this home, which is priced far below market value, is truly a dream for anyone who loves the outdoors, delights in entertaining or simply relishes the comforts of their own home.

Located on a cul-de-sac on over one-fourth acre, the home at 26319 Morning Cypress Circle is not only an example to new-home buyers of the impressive homes available in Cypress Creek Lakes, it is also an outstanding example of the flexibility and limitless ideas offered to buyers who want to make their home a reflection of their true taste and style.
