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.

December Mini-Symposium
In December of each year we host a smaller version of the full-blown, 9-12th grade research Symposium we put on in May of each year. This mini-event is a presentation of the undersclassmen’s first phase of their research. We enlist the help of our upperclassmen and recent graduates who act as panelists to offer constructive feedback in our efforts to help them develop their work and prepare for the second phase of their projects for second semester.

Senior Showcase
On December 9th, 2013, the entire Magnet senior class presented their summer internship work and projects to the Camas School District school board and community at the Zellerbach Administration Center. After the poster fair, staff, students, and community convened for the regular school board meeting and listened to formal presentations of internships by seniors Carly Marshall, Xinyang Chen, Zach Hein, and Matt Palodichuck.
Marshall worked over the summer at CID Bioscience in Camas, WA., where she conducted an investigation designed to test the filtration feature of a portable ethylene gas analyzer and to display the functionality of the CI-900 in a real world application of monitoring the ethylene production of fruit. Fruit Tests with the CI-900 Portable Ethylene Gas Analyzer.
Chen, Hein, and Palodichuck conducted their internships at Underwriters Laboratories in Camas, WA. They sought to design a tool in Microsoft InfoPath to standardize the process of estimating the hours needed to certify products. Designing an InfoPath Product Scoping Tool for UL
Congratulations, seniors, on your successful internships and projects!

Important FASFA Information
Seniors planning on attending college and applying for scholarships and financial aid for the fall of 2014 must submit the FAFSA form. In order to fill out the FAFSA, students and one parent/guardian must each request individual pin numbers that will serve as an electronic tracking system and signature. A pin request can be made at www.pin.ed.edu. It takes approximately 24-48 hours to receive a confirmation of your pin request. Then between January 1-31, even if family taxes have not been submitted, the FAFSA form can be completed at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Once taxes are submitted to the IRS, then a FAFSA correction must be made at the same website.

Geometry Turkey Constructions!
Here are our freshmen working on their turkey constructions in geometry. Most turkeys have an ominous fate over Thanksgiving break, but hopefully these turkeys will be coming to life with some creative coloring and design.
