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 />

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 />

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 />
