Students plan fundraisers for Japan relief effort
All four of our high schools' Japanese departments joined together with a Japan Disaster Relief Drive.Yorba Linda High School student [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] created T-shirts and wristbands to be sold."Timon Kato, one of my students, came up with the wristband idea," explained Yorba Linda High School Japanese language teacher Teiko Ikemoto. "He personally donated $100 of his own money to help the club buy the wristbands so that 100 percent of the wristband income will be donated to the Red Cross."Kato distinctly remembers buying a wristband when he was in elementary school during the 2004 Tsunami in Indonesia. It had such a significant impact on him, so he thought up the idea to help Japan.During the first week, Yorba Linda High School students collected $1,500. They ran out of the T-shirts in two days.
Key student helpers were Timon and Allison Jensen, and club officers Jungwoo Oh, Jessica Castellano, Adam Wagner and Allison Ruiz. One of the Japanese students, Jessica Imai, was personally affected by the earthquake as her mother was visiting Japan at the time. She survived the tsunami and safely made it home. Imai was able to contribute ideas with such first-hand information.At El Dorado High, $200 was raised in the first two days. Some of the opportunities to help involved getting your name printed in Japanese for 50 cents a letter. Making origami figures and getting your picture taken in a traditional Japanese kimono were other activities available for a donation. Wristbands were also sold."This was a rare and valuable opportunity for our students to be involved with something global," Japanese language teacher Joy Okada said.The district's Japanese teachers are Catrina Lim at Esperanza High, Okada at El Dorado, Carolyn Ikuta [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] at Valencia High, and Ikemoto at Yorba Linda High.TEAM CHEMISTRY Principal Jim Bell is pleased to announce that Valencia High School captured first place in Orange County in the International Chemistry Olympiad in March. Valencia's team members are Felicia Hsu, Nima Hosseini, Jason Khoe and Areeb Aslam, and they were mentored by Chemistry teacher Brent Shenton.Hsu and Hosseini will advance to the regional competition.This is the 43rd year the International Chemistry Olympiad has had the competition, which involves more than 70 countries. This year's final competition will be held in Ankarra, Turkey this summer.
The top 20 students on the regional test will be invited to two weeks of intense study at the Air Force Academy in early June. The top four students there will represent the U.S. in Turkey in July.ART SCHOLAR Valencia High School teacher Mindi Foote has been selected as a National Endowment of the Arts Summer Scholar. She will participate in an institute entitled "Mozart's Worlds: Bridging West [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and East," where she will study Mozart's life and two of the operas which secured his fame. The four-week program will be held in Vienna, Austria.The application process involves a resume, two reference letters, an essay and a statement of desired goals. Only 25 teachers were selected in the program and each receives a stipend of $3,300 to cover their travel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], study and living expenses.Foote has been at Valencia for six years and teaches algebra, trigonometry, advanced placement music theory and International Baccalaureate music. In addition to her teaching duties, she is the assistant coach of the award-winning Academic Decathlon team. She has a bachelor's degree in bassoon performance from Chapman University. She also plays the flute and piano.Outside of school she enjoys traveling to Luxembourg, Prague, London, France and Germany while visiting her in-laws. Camping near Mount Whitney and in Joshua Tree National Forest is also a love of hers. She and her husband live in Lake Forest.
