Lunch Debit Card End of Year<br />

Information<br />

In years past, when the school year ended, many students<br />

owed money for overcharges on their debit card<br />

account. The school district cannot carry negative<br />

balances over the summer.<br />

To avoid this situation, after <strong>May</strong> 1,2012 students will<br />

only be allowed to use their debit cards if there is<br />

enough in their account to cover the full amount of<br />

their purchase. Otherwise, they will be given a cold<br />

cheese sandwich meal. Money still in the account at<br />

the end of the school year is carried over to the next<br />

year, except for students leaving the district and<br />

graduates. You may request a refund for any remaining<br />

funds by submitting a letter requesting the refund<br />

to the district’s Food Service Department, or have the<br />

money transferred to a sibling’s account (by request<br />

only). You may reach the Food Service department via<br />

e-mail at:<br />

dgraban@fhps.net or alarson@fhps.net.<br />

Please keep a sufficient balance in your child’s account<br />

to cover his/her lunches through the end of the school<br />

year. Your help with this policy is greatly appreciated.<br />

If you are unsure of your child’s debit card balance or<br />

have any questions regarding the lunch program or<br />

debit card system, please call the Food Service office<br />

at 493-8774, e-mail us or go online at<br />

Electronic Donations Needed<br />

As the technology trends and abilities grow and change<br />

we sometimes find ourselves not needing a device that<br />

we used before. A perfect example of this is the smart<br />

phone! Your phone might now be your device for communication,<br />

entertainment, music, and photography!<br />

The special education department at Eastern is looking<br />

for used I-pod touch devices to aide students that need<br />

assistance with reading the assigned texts for classes. If<br />

you are willing to donate your old I-pod touch devices<br />

please drop them off to the high school office. Our department<br />

may be willing to offer some compensation for<br />

the devices depending on the condition and size of the<br />

memory card, please contact Carly VanWyngarden for<br />

more information @ cvanwyng@fhps.us<br />

Testing Out Information<br />

Testing out is an opportunity for students to<br />

Accelerate their curriculum. Students targeted are those<br />

who find a particular subject easy and enjoyable, which<br />

by testing out of a course gives them the opportunity to<br />

move into a more challenging course in that subject.<br />

Students must earn a minimum score of 77% to successfully<br />

test out of a course. Due to the purpose/<br />

philosophy of testing out, only credit is received (no letter<br />

grade). The purpose is to meet the requirement of a<br />

prerequisite and thus be able to move onto the next<br />

course in the sequence or to retrieve lost credit from a<br />

failed course. Students must apply to test out of<br />

courses and may pick up the form in the Main Officer.<br />

Forms are due <strong>May</strong> 24th. Study materials will be<br />

available 2 weeks prior to the test date. There is<br />

a $20.00 processing fee per test and a $50.00<br />

refundable text book rental fee (returned after<br />

book is returned)<br />

TEST DATE: JUNE 21, 2012<br />

TEST DATE: AUGUST 16, 2012<br />

awarded the winners of the Distracted Driving Awareness<br />

Program.<br />

The campaign challenges high school students at 22<br />

EASTERN EXPRESS<br />

EHS Student honored by receiving the prestigious Roger B Chaffee Scholarship<br />

Timothy Joel (TJ) DeVries dreams of using his exceptional<br />

math and science abilities to solve a complex problem<br />

that helps people. That desire is one of the reasons the<br />

<strong>Forest</strong> <strong>Hills</strong> Eastern senior is this year’s recipient of the<br />

prestigious Roger B. Chaffee Scholarship.The $2,500<br />

scholarship is the oldest in the county, created in honor of<br />

the Grand Rapids astronaut who died in the Apollo I<br />

space capsule fire Jan. 27, 1967.<br />

“I just want the scholarship committee to know how<br />

thankful and honored I am,” said DeVries, 18, of Ada,<br />

who plans to double major in mathematics and mechanical<br />

engineering at Calvin College. “From what I’ve heard<br />

and read, Mr. Chaffee was a really great person. This is a<br />

humbling experience.” DeVries, the son of Joel and Michele<br />

DeVries, was presented the award during a banquet<br />

on Thursday, April 26th at the Boulder Creek Golf Club in<br />

Belmont.<br />

Robert Steelman, president of the Robert B. Chaffee<br />

Scholarship Fund, said DeVries was one of 35 applicants.<br />

He said every year members try to accomplish two things:<br />

Celebrate the memory of Robert Chaffee, “a true hometown<br />

hero” and help a scholar in the area of engineering,<br />

mathematics and science.<br />

DeVries, who has four younger siblings, said the money<br />

will be helpful. He said he has a job in a dental office and<br />

applied for a lot of scholarships because he knows “every<br />

penny counts" and doesn't want to be saddled with loan<br />

debt. He has received an additional $20,000 in scholarships.<br />

Between credits earned from dual enrollment at Grand<br />

Rapids Community College in physics and calculus and<br />

high scores on AP exams, DeVries will save himself time<br />

and money in college. He said he could have as many as<br />

40 credits when he graduates. Steelman said the vast majority<br />

of applicants have GPAs over a 4.0 because of advanced<br />

placement classes and did very well on the ACT,<br />

so teacher recommendations and the students extracurricular<br />

activities help to narrow the field.<br />

“His mathematical ability for a high school student is rare<br />

and exceptional, and his humble nature is a real treat,”<br />

said Don Tolly, who taught DeVries functions, statistics<br />

and trigonometry (FST), pre-calculus and AP calculus his<br />

first three years of high school, in his recommendation<br />

letter.<br />

“I am very confident he will become a college student<br />

that does more than just take classes, he will use his talents<br />

to contribute to the university and community of<br />

which he is a part.”<br />

More than his academic prowess, the maturity of DeVries,<br />

willingness to tutor other students, helping the community<br />

by volunteering such as at the Grand Rapids Children's Museum<br />

and leadership qualities, are what resonated with the<br />

committee. DeVries, who has a weighted GPA of 4.189,<br />

finds time for various interests. He helped establish the<br />

school’s drum-line and plays a variety of percussion instruments,<br />

is a member of the Grand Rapids Youth Symphony,<br />

on the crew team and played basketball his first three<br />

years at Eastern, to name a few of his multiple activities.<br />

“We really look for a well-rounded person that has the ambition<br />

to further themselves and wants to give back to the<br />

community,” said Dale Young, the scholarship fund's historian<br />

and Chaffee’s nephew.<br />

DeVries said he's always had a passion for math and science.<br />

"As a kid, I always dreamed of being an inventor<br />

who would use math and science to help people and do a<br />

lot for the world," DeVries said.<br />

The Roger B. Chaffee Scholarship Fund was established by<br />

Roger’s family and friends for students in the Kent Intermediate<br />

School District. Chaffee graduated from Central<br />

High School and was a graduate of Purdue University. The<br />

Navy pilot was one of 14 men chosen in October 1963 to<br />

be an astronaut. Along with Chaffee, his crewmates Virgil<br />

"Gus" Grissom and Edward White II died in the 1967 fire<br />

during the practice launch.<br />

Besides for the scholarship, Chaffee is honored in Grand<br />

Rapids with a planetarium and road named after him.<br />

"Kids in the Market" program with a variety of kids' activities<br />

some of which include making newspaper pots, sidewalk chalk<br />

art, a scavenger hunt, bee hive observation, veggie toss, face<br />

painting, etc. This year we also are bringing in "experts" to<br />

do origami, balloon art and "Yoga in the Market" for moms<br />

and kids. These activities need "hands on" guidance and supervision.<br />

We are looking for high school students to fill this role as<br />

volunteers. If interested, please contact Bob Kullgren at 616-<br />
