Principal’s Message
Our sophomores will be taking state assessments this week,
Tuesday-Thursday. Getting a full night’s
sleep each night and taking the exam seriously is a must! And, while we believe
that performance-based assessments in which you defend your learning to
industry experts tops most state assessments, college admissions reps,
scholarship reviewers, and employers often rely on the state exam, along with
SAT scores, to make tough decisions. Please
give the exams your best effort. See Ms.
Carper’s section for additional information about testing.
And…the results are in about the performance of our Skunks,
Science Olympians, and Speech & Debaters in their competitions this past
weekend:
Science
Olympiad (report from Mr. McComb):
On Saturday, our Science

State: here we come! Congratulations, Science Olympians! We are proud of you!
Skunk Works Robotics (report from Jaclyn Wing):
PNW FIRST Robotics
Eastern Washington University District Event
This past weekend, March
14th and 15th, the Skunk Works Robotics team traveled to Eastern Washington
University for the first of two qualifying district events with an amazing
send-off from the entire student body of Raisbeck Aviation High School. There
were many challenges to work through at our first competition of the season. Team
1983 was seeded 8th out of 31 teams competing, becoming an alliance captain,
working with teams 1595, the Dragons, and rookie team 4980, the Canine
Crusaders. Although the team was eliminated during quarter finals, Skunk Works
is honored to win the Chairman's award,
FIRST's most prestigious award, and the Safety award. They couldn't have
done it without all of their mentors, sponsors and the Skunk Works Community. This qualifies Skunk Works to compete at
the PNW District Championship in Portland on the field and with the Chairman's
presentation team! Until then, we are excited to see what they will
accomplish at the Auburn Regional on
March 28th and 29th. Great work Skunks! We are proud of you!
Speech & Debate Our Speech and debate team sent several students to the State
Speech Tournament on Saturday with Katie
McConville, Makoto Take and Karl Nielsen competing
in Extemporaneous Speech and Deanta
Kelley in Humorous Interpretation. Although they didn't
break to finals all performed well against the best speakers in
the state. We look forward to next week when Katie McConville and Dylan Smith will compete at the State
Debate Tournament in Public Forum. Go Flaming Penguins!
The Ultimate Frisbee Team, Aviation Turbulence, defeated West
Seattle Wildcats in a 90 minute 9-4 win on Saturday! Great game and look
forward to a game against the Chief Stealth Seahawks next week at Delridge!
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is hosting a MOOC (Massive Online Open Course) in
April. This time the course is on Human
Factors in Aviation. While you don’t earn credit for the MOOC, it is a
great way to learn more about Human Factors and experience a college-level
course while building your college and career-going resume. If interested, you should know that the course starts April 7th and is open to the
first 2,000 people who sign up. Here’s a link with more info: http://worldwide.erau.edu/degrees-programs/free-online-courses/index.html
A reminder to see Ms. Carper about the Purdue University and University
of North Dakota summer camps, too!
And see Mr. Davolt for summer
internship opportunities. Both are
posted on the bulletin board in the College & Career Center. There are deadlines for application to both
the camps and the internships! You can do both!
Wishing you a joyful and compelling week of learning, and honored
to be your principal—
~Reba G.

Waskowitz
Outdoor School will be offering 3 summer sessions of backpacking for
PE credit. The intensive curriculum (up to
15 hours each
day) is designed
for students interested in exploring the vast opportunities
the
outdoors has
to
offer. Students
will earn PE credit while experiencing the many benefits of backpacking:
physical fitness, leadership experience, personal growth, improved
communication skills, greater persistence, and deep relationships. Where is camp? There will also
be a half day preparation class in district prior to the class. Session Dates: July 7-11, 2014, July 21-25,
2014, or August 4-8, 2014. There will
also be a half day preparation class in district prior to the class.
Waskowitz will be home base for the
course. Waskowitz is located approximately 30
minutes east of Seattle.
Waskowitz Outdoor School is owned and operated by the Highline School
District. The backpack trip will be in the
Alpine Lakes Wilderness between I-90 and Rt. 2.
How do students
get
there?
Students can be transported to camp with district vehicles. Pick up and drop off of students will be at
the Waskowitz District office located on the Manhattan campus.
What equipment is needed?
For the summer session
participants will
need to bring backpacking gear for
an
overnight trip. Packing lists
will be mailed with
registration confirmation.
Some equipment will be available to borrow once the class roster and
needs of each student has been determined.
An additional reason to attend
With the increasing requirements for credits to graduate
from high school, many
students find very little time for
in-depth study in areas
of their special interest. The credit earned by completing
this course of study may
open opportunities during the school
year for additional class-work in many interest areas.
Registration reminders
Only students who can commit to the entire camp session should
register! Camp starts
at
9:00 am on day one and
concludes at 2pm on the final
day. Participants must be entering
grades 9-12. Please email your interest to Carey Gannaw at carey.gannaw@highlineschools.org with date
preference. Questions? Contact Tim.Hall
at, Tim.Hall@highlineschools.org
Project
PROMise has returned! Ladies—we are collecting gently used
and/or new prom dresses to donate to Highline Schools Foundation. The dresses
will be given to young ladies within our school district who would like to go
to prom but don’t necessarily have the funds to afford it. We would LOVE your
donation of a dress, shoes, purses, and/or jewelry. We are also looking for
donations or gift cards to local salons or for pedicures or manicures for these
well-deserving girls. Please bring your items to Mrs. Fitzpatrick’s room, 3520
any time until March 10, 2014. Last year, we sent 16 dresses, several boxes of
beautiful shoes, some lovely jewelry, and a couple of handbags. Please help us
help others.

able to start a 3rd year or a 4th year course at any university this coming
fall. Congratulations!
An Invitation
from House Representative Adam Smith
Greetings,
I represent a district
full of incredibly talented youth, which is why I am pleased to announce the
formation of a Youth Advisory Council for Washington’s 9th Congressional
District.
Throughout their time on
the Council, students will work with me, my staff and other youth in the area
to draft a slate of issues for me to consider in Congress. By doing so,
students will get an up-close glimpse into how government operates, and will be
a fantastic opportunity for them to further develop teamwork and leadership
skills.
The Youth Advisory Council
is open to students in grades 9-12, will be limited to two students per school,
and requires a one -day-per month commitment – at a minimum – throughout the
school year. If you know any students that you think would make exceptional
additions to the Council, please share this invitation.
Those interested should
RSVP to my Deputy District Director, Debra Entenman, at: Debra.Entenman@mail.house.gov.
Thank you for your
continued commitment to the young people in our community. If you have any

National Honor
Society
The
time of year has come around again where we will be donating our useless change
to make an amazing contribution to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society! This is
an advisory competition where each advisory has a box. Adding coins to your
advisory's box adds to your money count. If another advisory is doing better
than you, you can add dollar bills to their box to effectively "bomb"
that advisory (all of which, of course, is still donated). The winning advisory
will get a lunch provided by Olive Garden and if we reach our goal of $1,500 as
a school we will be able to choose Señor
Peterson's next facial hair style! The competition continues to
Friday March 21st.
