If you need a dollop of great news, then know that ten RAHS students scooped up impressive honors last week.  Please join me in congratulating, or more properly, saluting Will Mueser, who received his Certificate of Appointment to West Point Military Academy!  We are very proud of Will, and he can follow in the footsteps of 2013 RAHS grads, Sean Crowley and Drew Hidalgo—Go Army! 

My excitement about Will’s appointment never had a chance to wane. The next day I opened a letter from The College Board to learn that our Juniors, the class of 2016, shattered a RAHS record in the number of students selected to the National Merit Scholarship Program. The following nine students are among the nation’s top 3% of all high-school scholars: Hannah Baker, Cooper Brown, Britton Coffey, Natalie Fuller, Jared Gibson, Noah Kramer, Karl Nielsen, Nathan Schulz, and Kevin Zhang.   Please join me in congratulating all of them for their scholarship and study.  Next September, The College Board will announce the names of the National Merit Scholars—the top 1% of all high-school students.  I am keeping my fingers crossed for all nine of our Raisbeckians!

If you are seriously considering attending ERAU, UND, or Purdue, please refer to the details found in the New Announcements Section. Except for the ERAU Camps, these college visits are entirely funded—airfare, lodging in the dorms, meals, and instructional costs by Dr. James Raisbeck and the universities.  In other words, it is FREE to those who are selected to participate!

Please refer to the dates before applying, and see Ms. Carper if you have questions.  The deadline for submitting an essay for all of the summer camps is Friday May 8th by 4:00PM. 

 

·         University of North Dakota: four students, July 5-12

·         Purdue: four students, July 19-24

·         Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Orientation: 6 students—3 male and 3 female, July 26 to Tuesday, July 28

Prior to Spring Break, I mentioned there is a special gift available to a student in the class of 2015—the WA vanity plate, “PILOT.”   If you are interested in owning this desirable license plate, you must:


·         Be a Senior in the class of 2015.

·         Intent on avocation as a pilot—either as an intended career, or you live the motto, “I work so I can fly.”

·         Own a vehicle, or will acquire a vehicle by August 30, 2015.

 

The application process for the PILOT license plate is submitted through a video, an essay is not required.

 

Application:

Submit the link to your one-minute YouTube video, and answer this prompt:  Why I am best suited to own the “PILOT” vanity plate?  The link to your video must be sent to Mr. McLaughlin, Anthony.McLauglin@highlineschools.org, by 4:00PM on Friday, May 15.  The winner of the plate will be announced at the Senior Awards Ceremony on June 8, and Mr. Christian Becker, who currently own the plate, will present the award.

Seniors, there are two new scholarships to announce!  The Royal Aeronautical Society (RAES—Seattle Chapter) just released the scholarships for RAHS students in honor of aviation icons, Bill Boeing Jr. and Dick Taylor. Each award is worth $2500. Download the application from the RAHS website— select the Students Tab, and scroll down to the RAES scholarship.  Applications are due Friday, May 1st by 4:00PM.

 
The last scoop of great news for this week is a testament to the hard work and gritty dedication of the students and staff at RAHS. We received notification that RAHS is a winner of the 2014 WA state Achiever Award for Reading Growth and Extended Graduation Rate.  During an awards ceremony next week, I have the honor of receiving a WA State Outstanding Achievement banner, and look forward to seeing it proudly displayed in the commons.  Gold stars to everyone for making RAHS an amazing place to learn!

·         Lucky Singh and Meleake Wubbie:  2nd place in Bungee Drop

 

As a volunteer-run competition, we literally could not have done it without the help from over 100 adults who are enthusiastic about fostering students’ interest in and appreciation for science, technology, and engineering.  From the ranks of our parents and partners:  Jim Smith (Lauren E’s dad), Jason Gobat, volunteers from AIAA, and our tournament directors, Judy Mannard and Rich Bankhead.

As we wrap up this year and begin to establish goals for next year, we look forward to speeches by prospective officers of 2015-16 Sci Oly taking place this Friday, 24 April starting at 0815 in the BPC.


Are you interested in attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) in the future? If so, ERAU is again offering the opportunity for a few students to visit this summer­­, all expenses paid—air travel, lodging in the dorms, and meals.  This is a three-day trip in which you get to fly in one of ERAU’s airplanes, visit classes, and learn more about the various degree programs that ERAU has to offer.  If interested, check with Ms. Carper for the exact dates, then submit an essay to her in which you explain your specific interests in both visiting and attending ERAU in the future—planned major and degree you hope to earn, goals for career, aspects of their university that interest you.  Due date for essay: FRIDAY, May 8, by 4:00PM to Ms. Carper.  Open to freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. 

GLOBAL SECURITY, AVIATION DISCOVERY, COMPUTER & ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING CAMP- We have a few spots for RAHS students in these camps, which will be sponsored by Mr. James Raisbeck; all tuition and fees are covered, including flight to Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Arizona.  Sophomores and Juniors are target group, but mature freshmen with teacher recommendation will be considered.  Please do your research on these summer camps, and if interested, see Ms. Carper for more information.  We anticipate being able to sponsor 4-5 students, possibly more.   

The Purdue program will run from July19-24, with sessions slated to begin Sunday afternoon and conclude after lunch on Friday the 24th.  Purdue will accept up to four RAHS students (current juniors) who are highly capable and passionate about aerospace and aeronautical engineering and eager to move beyond their current thinking. Students will learn about the disciplines and impacts of engineering as they work alongside college students and honors college professors to design rockets for launch and vehicles for recovery. Learning of math, physics and engineering will be deepened through participation in a design challenge with interactive workshops. Hands-on learning experiences will take place in the Zucrow labs, under the direction of Professor Steve Heister, who visited our school last fall. Purdue staff is committed to designing a week-long program, tailor-made for RAHS students.  To qualify for this unprecedented experience, please write a minimum 500-word essay in which you (1) share your passion and goals for pursuing a college and career pathway in engineering, emphasizing why Purdue is on your list of possible college choices; (2) highlight classes and experiences that you have already had or are planning to have, that will give you an exceptional foundation for advanced engineering studies; (3) explain what the Purdue experience would mean for you, and what specifically you would like to engage in and learn while there; and (4) add additional information that you believe may enhance your application. Due Date: Friday, May 8 by 4:00PM to Ms. Carper.

 

If selected to attend the Purdue camp, you will fly from Seattle to the Indianapolis Airport, where you will be picked up by university staff. They will also return you to the airport when the camp ends on the 24th.  While at camp, you will experience campus life by residing in a dorm, Cary Quad, which is located right across the street from the Armstrong Hall of Engineering.

 

The University of North Dakota’s International Aerospace Camp is a full week of aviation and adventure that will be offered July 5-12 in Grand Forks, North Dakota, through the highly regarded John. D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences.  This “college seminar” is similar to attending a week of actual college.  Additionally, what makes this seminar unique is the amount of flight training each student receives.  UND is most interested in providing this opportunity to students—six of them from RAHS who will be juniors or seniors next year or age 16 by time camp starts—who truly want to experience collegiate aviation. Counselors, flight instructors and professors are all leaders in aerospace education. Instruction will start with the basics of flying (which some of you may already know, but a refresher will be a good thing!) and progress to experiencing new and exciting technologies, and exploration of career opportunities in flight, air traffic control, aviation management, and unmanned aircraft systems(UAS).  A passion for flight is a must for this particular camp, along with interest in attending UND in the future.

To be considered for the UND camp, first read more about it at

http://www.aviation.und.edu/currentStudents/AEROCAMP/Default.aspx. Then do the following: complete the application that is included with the link.  Do not submit it to UND, though! Instead, print it and attach to the essay that you will write!  Your essay should be a minimum of 500 words and address: (1) your passion for flight and aviation, along with your goals for pursuing a college and career pathway in aviation as a pilot, air traffic controller, aviation manager, or in the field of unmanned aircraft systems; (2) the experiences you have had related to your goals and the classes you have taken, or will take, that are preparing you for your future; (3) why you are interested in potentially attending UND in the future; and (4) anything further that you believe may enhance your application. DUE DATE: Friday, May 8 by 4:00PM to Ms. Carper.

 

If you are accepted to the UND program, you will fly from Sea-Tac Airport to Grand Forks where you will be greeted by UND staff and transported to the campus. Return services will also be provided at end of camp. You will stay in a dormitory and meals will be provided each day.  You should plan to take some spending money for miscellaneous items such as purchasing a UND sweatshirt, eating a meal at the airport or on the plane, etc.

 

Are you interested in joining RAHS’s very first orienteering team?

Orienteering is a sport that requires navigational skills using a map and compass to navigate from point-to-point in diverse and unfamiliar terrain. Competitors are given a topographical map, which they use to navigate to checkpoints. Orienteering is a sport that requires the perfect mix of mental and physical ability and is a great way to earn some PE credits!  Also, Orienteering is a winter sport and will be held from November to February, it is a great way to stay conditioned during the winter for spring or summer sports. If you are interested in joining an orienteering team or learning more about it fill out the short survey below or send an email to lynneac01@gmail.com or dakotalee3@comcast.net.

Paine Field Aviation Day 2015 – Call for Volunteers

 

Greetings,

 

Paine Field Aviation Day will be held this year Saturday, May 16th, between the hours of 10am and 5pm.  As in past years, volunteers make this community event happen.  Last year nearly 400 of you volunteered your precious time!

 

This year’s event promises to be every bit as big as 2014’s Paine Field Aviation Day.  Volunteers are needed to help with setup the day before (Friday May 15th), before, during, and after the event Saturday, May 16th.

 

As always, we do our best to recognize the incredible efforts of all of you.  Thursday, May 14th, we will host a volunteer pizza feed and orientation meeting at the Paine Field Fire Station.  For the day of the event volunteers will receive free admission, t-shirt, food voucher, and an invitation to the volunteer appreciation “after” event.  And of course, we will do our best to care for you and your schedule during the day of the event.

 

Interested?  Even if not sure, let me know.  Questions?  Again, let me know.

 

If you know you want to volunteer, thank you!  We will work hard to accommodate your availability.  Also, your t-shirt size, if you may attend the volunteer orientation meeting Thursday, May 14th, your availability the day of the event, Saturday, May 16th, and if you may be attending the volunteer appreciation event afterwards, all would be helpful.  No worries if you do not yet know.

 

Thank you for your consideration and best regards,

 

Frank

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.

Please attach a copy of your online donation confirmation with your item. If you are unable to complete the online form, there are 3-part procurement forms available at the school office.

If you need someone to pick your item up, please email us at procurement@aviationptsa.org<mailto:procurement@aviationptsa.org>

And someone will contact you to make arrangements. THANK YOU for helping to support your students' academic future at RAHS!
