WDCF SUPPORTS ELSIK HIGH SCHOOL BLUE OCTANE TEAM
|
Congratulations to the students at Elsik High School's "Team Blue Octane" on competing recently in the Shell Eco-marathon Americas in Detroit, Michigan.
The students, ranging from sophomores to seniors, are part of Elsik's Career and Technical Education program who have been constructing Blue Octane, a lightweight vehicle that aims to attain a fuel efficiency above 3,000 miles per gallon.
The competition is designed to inspire students to become the scientists and engineers of the future. The Westchase District Community Fund sponsored the students with a $2,500 grant to help with transportation expenses to the competition.

| STUDENTS PREPARING MOSAIC TILES FOR NEW TRAIL BENCHES |
Also over at Elsik High School, students in Eric Pearson's art class have been studying the concept of sacred geometry and are turning their own geometry designs into ceramic
mosaic tiles that will be incorporated into concrete seat walls along the Brays Bayou Connector Trail later this month.
The tiles are another example of Westchase District incorporating art into the public spaces along its trails. Murals already adorn the Library Loop Trail and wayfinding trail spikes soon will guide and inform trail users.

The health benefits of lavender essential oil include its ability to eliminate nervous tension, relieve pain, disinfect the scalp and skin, enhance blood circulation and treat respiratory problems.

| TORCHY'S, GOLF GALAXY NOW OPEN, MORE RETAIL COMING |
Chain retailers are finding Westchase District a desirable location to set up operations. Here's a roundup of the latest activity:
Torchy's Tacos, home to popular Tex-Mex breakfast, lunch and dinner items, opened this week at 2675 Wilcrest Drive in the Westchase Shopping Center. The grand opening was marked by long lines, a taco cannon (see right) and free tacos.
Also now open in the Westchase Shopping Center is Golf Galaxy at 10855 Westheimer (between Palais Royal and Mattress One)
. The store, a division of Dick's Sporting Goods, occupies the location of the former Golfsmith and management
is now hiring.
More restaurants are in the works at the northwest corner of Westheimer Road and CityWest Boulevard. Transwestern is developing a 12,000 sq. ft. center featuring
MOD Pizza,
and Yogurtland, as well as a 10,800 sq. ft. adjacent building that will house a Panera Bread among other unannounced tenants. Expect to see the larger building open to the public this fall; the smaller building is expected to be delivered in early 2018.
