SAS Question of the MonthWhat is your favorite thing about the

CYSS After School Program?“I like to come to CYSS because I get to go on the computer!” - Xavier Joiner“I love CYSS because a lot of my friends are here.” - Aidan DuFort“I like coming to CYSS because I get to go to the gym to play basketball.” - Jordan Wheeler“I like CYSS because it is so much fun!” - Jasmyn Smith“I like skating and playing with my friends at CYSS.” - Kayla Spangler

May Technology TipIn this digital world most, if not all, of our photograph memories

and important documents are stored on our computers hard drive. Do you have a backup in case of failure?

One of the facts about technology is that electronics can be unpredictable, and devices can fail at anytime for a variety of reasons. Take the time to backup all of your important data now to prevent a disaster.

External storage devices, optical media and even online storage solutions can be used to back up data you don’t want to lose. The idea is to be able to say “I’m glad I did” instead of “I wish I had”.

Army Family Covenant: Keeping the Promise

CAPTAINS JAMES AND MICHELLE MEDWICK, DUAL MILITARY FAMILY

For James and I to be successful in our Army careers, we have had to ask for a lot from our Family members. The Army Family Covenant recognizes the sacrifice and

commitment that our son and Family have made to support our careers and has established programs

to overcome this adversity. The Strong Bonds retreats are one program that

has allowed our Family the opportunity to mitigate the effects of deployment.

Humphreys Youth Receives Personal Message from White House

USAG-Humphreys fourth grader, Joel Tinsley, received a personal package directly from the White House last month. Mr. Burkket, Tinsley’s teacher, gave the class an art

assignment and Joel chose to draw President Obama. His teacher liked the picture so much that he suggested they send it to the White House. Much to their surprise, they received a package in the mail thanking them for the picture and an autographed picture of the President, First Lady and their dog Bo.

Tinsley is the son of proud parents Meyer and Dong Mi Ragin.
