Ryan
Gifford and Taylor Kirschenman
This week, Tracy
Scott, the Cedarcrest attendance office secretary, would
like to bust Ryan Gifford and Taylor Kirschenman for their
random act of kindness. Ryan and Taylor had discovered a
wallet on the ground belonging to David Mendez, and instead
of taking the money out or doing any number of dishonest
things; they returned the wallet to David. Needless to say,
David was very happy and relieved. Great work guys! Keep
being kind!
CHS Track

30
by Coach Bruce McDowell
On Thursday the 29th,
the Cedarcrest Track
&Field team went to a
meet at Sultan with
Granite Falls and South
Whidbey in attendance as
well.
I have told them
numerous times that if I
can't say anything nice
then I won't say
anything at all. On
that note, I will not be
talking about how cold,
how rainy and how
miserable the weather
was.
Now onto good things.
The boys finished in
first place while the
girls finished in second
place.
The event winners on the
boys side were Matt
Erickson (200m),
Mitchell Montgomery
(800m), Logan Orndorf
(3200m), the Boys 4x400m
team, and John Soule
(Discus. The event
winners on the girls
side were Alesha Cronie
(200m), Tasha Hartwig
(400m), Amelia Anderson
(1600m), Diana Carr
(3200m), Molly
Hammontree (300m
Hurdles) and Allison
Bawden (High Jump and
Triple Jump).
We now head to Spring
Break. Our next two
meets are Saturday
Invites. This upcoming
Saturday, we will take
our annual visit to
Yakima (woo hoo!!!) for
the Holder Relays.
Hopefully the weather
will be much nicer on
the east side of the
mountains.
In September of
2011, The Cedarcrest CTE (Career
and Technical Education)
department was selected as a
recipient of a Washington FIRST
Robotics Grant in the amount of
$7,000.00 from the OSPI (Office
of the Superintendent of Public
Instruction). Additional
financial support was provided
by parent Jill Wagner, who
helped to secure a grant from
NASA in the amount of $6,500,
and a $500 grant from Platt
Electric.
FIRST, whichstands for For Recognition of Science and
Technology, is a non-profit
public charity which was founded
in 1989 by Dean Kamen and is
based in Manchester, New
Hampshire. FIRST
was established to inspire young
peoples' interest and
participation in science and
technology. Cedarcrest CTE
Director Donna Bielstein
shares, “FIRST strives to design
accessible, innovative programs
that motivate young people to
pursue education and career
opportunities in science,
technology, engineering and
math, while building
self-confidence, knowledge, and
life skills.”
Cedarcrest
Teachers, Mike Miyoshi and Les
Collins were initially
approached with the idea for
this project by their students,
and volunteer Kevin Ross, "as
the driving force". Students
with varying degrees of academic
and technical aptitudes were
then recruited to become the
first ever Cedarcrest High
School FIRST Robotics Team.
On Tuesday,
February 28th, Mr. Miyoshi and
FIRST Robotic students, Jake Knoth, Nate Sutherland, and
Madison Waterman gave an
exceptionally impressive
presentation regarding their
Robotics Project to the
Riverview School Board
Directors, "one of the most
professional presentations we
have seen in quite a while",
stated School Board President,
Lori Oviatt.
The FIRST
Robotics Multi-State Regional
Competition will be held at
Century Link Event Center on
March 23-24, 2012, and the
International Competition will
be in St. Louis Missouri, April
26-28, 2012.
The boys
soccer team split a pair of pre-season
games this week in the first action of the
season. On Tuesday the team traveled to Bellingham to
take on Squalicum HS. Chris Cole gave CHS its first lead
of the season when he scored in the 8th
minute, but that wasn’t enough as Squalicum got two
second-half goals and won 2-1.
Thursday the boys took on
Highline High School (Coach Pittis’ alma matter) and
handed the Pirates a 3-2 loss. Conner Viger scored two
first-half goals, and Chris Cole extended his goal
scoring streak to two games with a tally in the second
half.
League play starts next week.
