While you were away, the first bucket of dirt was turned on Tuesday morning, April 7 and officially launched The Aviation Pavilion project.  RAHS offers a front-row seat to the construction area. Please keep in mind this is a construction zone, and all construction safety measures must be followed. No one is allowed on the site without prior approval and wearing an ANSI approved safety vest and hard hat. All access to the 737 and 747 will need to be around the front of Raisbeck Aviation High School and through the parking lot.  Once the project is completed, The Aviation Pavilion will be four times the size of the T.A. Wilson Great Gallery, and the expansion makes The MoF one of the largest aviation museums in the world.

During the first weekend of Spring Break, our amazing Skunkworks Robotics team continued their legacy of three consecutive first place finishes in regional competition!  Their victory occurred in Spokane, and the team home brought home another first place trophy and Chairman’s Award. They eagerly look forward to international competition in St. Louis later this month. Skunks, we are immensely proud of you and will be cheering from the big screen in the lobby as you vie for another win in St. Louis!  Congratulations!

This week, I wish the Class of 2015 my absolute best.  The seniors are presenting their culminating projects to the staff and community members—it is one of their few remaining graduation requirements.  Many of the projects show an amazing commitment to excellence and creativity. I look forward to announcing the names of our Senior Showcase finalists next week.

As we begin the final quarter of the year, let's maintain our collective energy and resolve to finish well.

The Principal’s Round of Applause—acknowledging those who make RAHS a better place.

Karl Nielsen—for his organizational wizardry and stellar preparation for the RAHS lip dub event this Wednesday. 
Olivia Shiffer and Stella Sisson—for serving as RAHS ambassadors and co-presenters at the 2015 Expanding Your Horizons conference, sponsored by the Association of University Women.   Joined by RAHS grad Camilia Palacio, who is now a freshman at the UW, these amazing young women shared their passion for STEM education and all they have gained by being a student at RAHS.  Thank you, ladies, for inspiring more young women to pursue similar pathways in STEM!

Jade Jordan—for being accepted into the "Girls Who Code Summer Immersion Program" this summer.  Girls Who Code represents an innovative approach to computer science education, pairing seven weeks of intensive instruction in robotics, web design, and mobile development with engaging, career-focused mentorship and exposure led by the industry's top female entrepreneurs and engineers.  There were only 20 spots available per program, which made the selection process very tough. Jade will be spending her summer at Expedia Inc

Leslie Schumann and Tanya McCormick—for the days of admission’s database work, and preparing the mailings for the Class of 2019.

Honored to serve as your Principal—Bruce Kelly

NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS


Embry Riddle, Purdue and the University of North Dakota are again this year offering summer camps to RAHS students.  The camps are in the form of a scholarship and sophomores and juniors are encouraged to apply.  Visit the counseling office starting next week to pick up an application.   Applications must be turned in no later than May 8th.

 

 

To all of our State bound Olympians -

We appreciate all of the hard work that you have put into our team over the past competition season. If it weren't for your ambition we would not be sending our top two teams to state. Your leadership both during competition and in class has proven every single one of you deserves the honor of competing at state. 

On behalf of all of Science Olympiad, we want to wish those bridge-builders, test-makers, and risk-takers the best of luck at State (April 18). 

 

CITIZEN SCIENCE TRAINING

When: Thursday, April 16 during Clubs

Where: PLC

Please, check in with your advisor first for attendance and then quickly join us for training.  There will be staff from the Seattle Aquarium here to review the tools and data collection protocols we will be using on the beach!

Please, see me if you are signed up to attend, but are no longer interested in joining the program and/or are unable to attend this important training.

 

TUESDAY $5 DOLLAR PIZZA

Students do you like the convenience of having $5 pizza delivered to the school on Tuesday evenings?  If you are a participant – you must consume all pizza in the Commons Lunch Room.  If students persist in eating the pizza elsewhere we will have to cancel the $5 Tuesday Pizza.  It is a privilege we all enjoy and you must consume it in the Commons!  Please don’t ruin this privilege for others who observe the rules.  Thank you.

 

COPY/PRINT STATIONS – Reminder from the Student Handbook:

RAHS students begin with a $10 credit applied to their account paid through the technology fee. The student incurs the cost of each click charge— $.00949 for black and white copies and $.049 for color documents, and the paper cost, $.01 per sheet. For example, a $10 credit allows a student to print or copy 75 color documents and 285 black and white copies. There are many combinations of black and white and color printing to spend down the $10 credit.

Once a student’s balance falls below $.02, their print/copy account, they are expected to pay an

additional $10 fee. There are no refunds for unused balances. Excess use—more than one additional $10 charge, disables the student’s print/copy account for the remainder of the school year. Prudent use of the print/copy station machines is expected. In the event of a broken or jammed machine, students should notify a staff member immediately.
