CHS/Magnet students in grades 9-12 participated in the regional Science and Engineering Fair (SEF) on Saturday, March 1st. Chaperoned by SEF guru Ron Wright and CHS teacher extraordinaire Kim Newman, Camas students entered seven projects. The results were amazing. Each project earned first place in its category. Additionally, best in show was earned by two Camas projects and thus an all expenses paid trip to ISEF in Los Angeles, CA in May (Reesab Patha and Meghal Sheth) Excellent! CHS teacher Jennifer Dean contributed greatly as an advisor to nearly all of these projects. Congratulations to the following students:
- Jon Bartlett
- Rachel Fadlovich
- Bilal Manzer
- Reesab Pathak
- Meghal Sheth
- Sophie Shoemaker
- Chemay Shola

9th grade MST APES students demonstrated their abilities this week with the highest level of assessment: the ability to teach their learning targets to others. To do so, they peer mentored and taught Ms. Sturges’ class of 2nd graders from Lacamas Elementary the concepts of biodiversity and sustainability. They accomplished this by building EcoColumns and recording their observations, and they also practiced methods of measurements for the health of their systems based on dissolved oxygen levels in their aquatic chamber and the qualities of the soil in their terrestrial chambers through ribbon and texture tests. These students all proved that they got their hands dirty this week!

Recent CHS/Magnet grad Eden Pollock helped design a study whose results were recently published in The Journal of Neuroscience: Presynaptic Alpha-Synuclein Aggregation in a Mouse Model of Parkinson’s Disease. Pollock attends University of Washington. Congratulations, Eden! “Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies are associated with abnormal neuronal aggregation of α-synuclein. However, the mechanisms of aggregation and their relationship to disease are poorly understood. We developed an in vivo multiphoton imaging paradigm to study α-synuclein aggregation in mouse cortex with subcellular resolution. We used a green fluorescent protein-tagged human α-synuclein mouse line that has moderate overexpression levels mimicking human disease …”

Magnet sophomore Alex Harte was diagnosed with T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma on June 19, 2013. Since then he’s been through countless treatments to get him on the road to recovery, which has even allowed him to come back to CHS to attend a limited schedule when he’s feeling well enough to do so. As part of his recovery, he was recently granted a wish from Make-A-Wish ® Oregon. “For Alex, the custom-built gaming computer that he received from Make-A-Wish® Oregon is more than just a wish-come-true. It’s a wish for the future – something that will help him pursue a career in computers or electronics.” Read more here: Alex’s Wish

Finding the funds to pay for a post-secondary education can be a stressful endeavor. Tis the season for the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and financial aid packages from colleges begin arriving soon as well. Should your student not receive enough financial aid to make attendance possible, I encourage students to contact the school(s) and discuss their financial situation and academic goals. Some colleges are firm in their offers while others will reevaluate the financial aid package they have extended, and unless asked, you may never know what possibilities are available. Financial Aid Dos and Don’ts
