AMBER CAMPBELL<br />

CHS Class of 2001<br />

“I'm currently working on a number of papers including one on female genital<br />

schistosomiasis as a risk factor for HIV infection, one on the statistically validity<br />

of a popular discriminant function program in forensic anthropology and one<br />

on whether human hairlessness is an adaptation or an exaptation and just what<br />

one would have to prove to come to a solid conclusion on that question. Hopefully,<br />

I will finish all of them by <strong>May</strong> 5th so that I'm finished with the semester<br />

before I leave for my DNA training in Canada. I don't have much in the way of<br />

plans for the rest of the summer, but I have heard stirrings that one of my<br />

friends may know someone looking for someone with osteological knowledge<br />

to help out on an archaeological dig in South America somewhere. We shall see<br />

if that works out.”<br />

5th & 6th<br />

Graders<br />

Challenge<br />

CCCC Men’s<br />

Basketball<br />

Team<br />

On Wednesday, April 12th, the CCCC Men’s Basketball team challenged the 5th and 6th grade Morning Intramural<br />

Basketball Championship teams at the CMS gym. In December, the students had an opportunity to sign-up to play morning<br />

intramural basketball. There were approximately 50 students from each grade who participated. The Morning Intramural<br />

teams played in a double elimination tournament from January until March, to determine who would play the CCCC men’s<br />

team.<br />

The students on the 5th grade championship team were: Erin Hansen, Brentin Hake, Dakota Strong, Daniel Longfellow,<br />

Jarin Brown, Alyssa Champlin, and Nathan Gieber. The 5th grade team won against the CCCC team as they barely<br />

pulled out on top with an 18-15 score.<br />

The students on the 6th grade championship team were: Joe Feight, Devin Fleming, Derick Nordell, Dalton Fraser,<br />

David Strait, and Skyler Muff. They captured the win over CCCC by a score of 22-20.<br />

The student body of CMS cheered on both teams and enjoyed watching the games.<br />

The CMS staff and student body give a special thank you to Coach Kevin Muff, Coach of the Year;<br />

Coach Shawn Ellis and their basketball team. Thanks for the past 5 years of challenging our 5th<br />

and 6th grade basketball stars!!<br />

“Paws”itive Counts<br />

Students are asked to bring a sack lunch and a drink (please no glass bottles). The school lunch program will provide<br />

a sack lunch if you would like, but your child will need to sign up in the office no later than <strong>May</strong> 17 th if they want a<br />

school sack lunch. Students are not to leave for lunch.<br />

CHESS NEWS<br />

All-Star State Chess rankings were released last week. The top ten for the state are determined by adding together<br />

the team points for the top three tournaments with the state tournament counting double. Teams are then ranked by<br />

the average of these tournaments. The <strong>Concordia</strong> Junior High team earned second place in the state and the elementary<br />

team received fourth in their respective divisions. Logan Whitney placed 4th in the state under<br />

the All-State individual rankings. People interested in viewing all the teams and individuals in the top ten<br />

may go to www.ksca.us and click on "all-star rankings".<br />

Hoops for Heart<br />

This year, the CMS students raised $4,845.90. The student fundraisers that raised over $200 were:<br />

Courtney Lanoue, Hannah Haist, Christa Deneault, and Koral Plush. Students who raised between<br />

$100-$199 were: Anna Christenson, Katie Buckland, Devin Fleming, Cameron Krager, Emily Brown,<br />

Nikki Blankenbeckley, Tristin Morgan, and Kristen Stupka. Hannah, who raised $258.25, and Courtney,<br />

who raised $247.90, won the "P.E. Teacher of the Day" award for raising the most money in the<br />

school. The top 5th grade class who raised the most money was Mr. Hutchinson's class, $751.00;<br />

and the top 6th grade class who raised the most money was Mrs. Carol Ruud's class, $646.25. These<br />

two classes won a pizza and ice cream party, donated by Pizza Hut and Dairy Queen.<br />

This year has been a special year for raising money for the American Heart Association. The<br />

students at CMS have adopted a school in Louisiana that was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina; a<br />

P.E. equipment company, U.S. Games, has donated money vouchers to the school that the CMS<br />

students adopted. This school district was the hardest hit in the New Orleans area. The name of<br />

the school that the students adopted is St. Bernard Parish Public School. The school re-opened<br />

in November with approximately 350 students and now there are over 2,500 students attending<br />

this school. The school has not been re-built; in fact, the school buildings are 17 temporary<br />

FEMA buildings located on a former high school parking lot. St. Bernard Parish Public School is<br />

designating the $200 money vouchers for "Field Day" equipment, since currently there is no<br />

equipment for their end-of-the-year Field Day.<br />

Thank you to ALL the CMS students, who participated in this wonderful program!! And, a sincere<br />

"thank you" goes out to you from Mrs. Beverly Lawrason, Superintendent of St. Bernard's Parish Public<br />

Schools, and from Jerel Giarusso, Louisiana Department of Education.


Rock on Raku!!!<br />

Student’s in Tami Peltier’s 3-D Art II class got a chance to raku fire<br />

some of their pottery. Raku is a method of firing pottery. We use<br />

special clay and glazes designed to withstand thermoshock. After the<br />

vessel has been formed it is dried and bisque fired in the traditional<br />

method of firing. Then it is glazed and then it goes in the kiln and is<br />

heated to about 1800 degrees. It is then taken from the kiln and put<br />

into a barrel of combustibles (sawdust, paper) where it ignites the<br />

combustibles in the barrel. After this burns for 30 seconds or so, the<br />

lid is put on and the fire is deprived of oxygen. This creates smoke<br />

and essentially smokes the pot. The reduction in oxygen changes the<br />

appearance of the glaze….See the slide show on the <strong>USD</strong> <strong>333</strong> website,<br />

to see more on this exciting process.<br />

On Wednesday, April 19, <strong>2006</strong> <strong>Concordia</strong> High School students<br />

CHS Chemistry Students Do Well in Olympiad<br />

Three <strong>Concordia</strong> High School students who recently<br />

took the Wichita Section of the <strong>2006</strong> U.S. National Chemistry<br />

Olympiad qualified to take the national test. Only eight of the<br />

students from across the state taking the exam achieved this<br />

honor.<br />

Stuart Warkentin and Ryan Steinert were among the<br />

top placers with Warkentin earning fifth place and Steinert<br />

earning sixth place. Ryan LaBarge was the first alternate in<br />

ninth place.<br />

The <strong>Concordia</strong>ns were being tested in a section competition<br />

with students from much larger schools. Only students<br />

from private schools in Wichita fared better than the<br />

CHS students. Of those taking the national test in Wichita on<br />

April 22 nd , two will be picked for the national team for international<br />

competition. Sponsor of the Olympiad is the American<br />

Chemical Society.<br />

COUNSELOR’S CORNER<br />

by Larry Laas<br />

The enrollment process for next year is just about completed. If your student has not completed a schedule for next year,<br />

have him or her contact the Guidance Office immediately. If you have any question concerning classes or the new schedule<br />

for next year, feel free to give us a call at 243-1100.<br />

During enrollment, several parents asked questions concerning the dual credit classes. These are available to juniors and<br />

seniors for college credit. Currently, CHS will be offering 35 hours of college credit classes. Next fall, about the second or<br />

third week of school, we will enroll those students interested in taking these classes for college credit. Tuition fees will be<br />

due about the first of September, so begin budgeting and saving your money now. This year, a three-hour credit class cost<br />

$187.50. When compared to a three hour class at a four-year university at the cost of about $450.00, this is a tremendous<br />

savings. And our cost includes your textbook! Give Mr. Laas a call in the High School Guidance Office if you have any<br />

questions concerning dual credit classes.<br />

Many of the seniors are finalizing plans for next year. Several have signed letters of intent to play sports while others have<br />

accepted some very nice academic scholarships to help with those college expenses. If any senior still needs help with applications<br />

or college visits, stop by the Guidance Office.<br />

JUNIORS, it’s never too early to begin visiting college campuses and talking with academic advisors. This summer is a<br />

GREAT time to call an admissions office at your favorite college or university and see what they can arrange for you.<br />

Again, if you need a telephone number or if we can help schedule that college visit, just give us a call.<br />

And to ALL, have a safe and wonderful summer vacation. We will look forward to working with you again next fall. BUT<br />

FIRST, there is still much to do before this school year is put to rest.<br />

Eleven CHS Science Club members and their sponsors attended the <strong>2006</strong> <strong>Kansas</strong> Olympiad at Wichita<br />

State University, April 1 st . The students served as event volunteers assisting coordinators with staging<br />

trials, recording information, distributing testing materials, and monitoring exams. As volunteers, CHS students<br />

were given special access to events and testing conditions otherwise available only to students<br />

whose school teams placed at their respective regional Olympiads. Armed with this new information, Science<br />

Club members’ goals are to prepare over the Summer for the Salina Regional and advance to the<br />

2007 <strong>Kansas</strong> and National Olympiads both of which will be hosted by Wichita State University.<br />

Row One: Megan Palmquist, Morgan Budke, Tressa Studt, Ethan Wilcox and Christian Fazel. Row Two:<br />

<strong>2006</strong> CHS Summer School Credit Recovery<br />

<strong>Concordia</strong> High School students who failed to earn<br />

credit in a class during the regular school year may enroll<br />

in the <strong>2006</strong> Summer School Credit Recovery Program.<br />

The Cloud County Alternative High School,<br />

located at 301 West 7 th Street in <strong>Concordia</strong>, will be<br />

host to credit recovery students from June 12 –July 7.<br />

The Summer School Credit Recovery Program is designed<br />

should expect to spend a minimum of 30 to 40 hours of<br />

remediation time per credit at CCAHS to recover lost<br />

credit. American History II (major research paper) and<br />

U.S. Government I (Senior Project) may not be taken<br />

for credit recovery. Cloud County Alternative High<br />

School will charge students a $25 enrollment fee. Applications<br />

for the <strong>2006</strong> Summer School Credit Recovery<br />

Program may be picked up in the CHS Guidance<br />

Office.<br />

Your Own Back Door<br />

By Fourth Grade Teachers<br />

Where can you learn about history, architecture, geography<br />

and the judicial system? The answer is Cloud County.<br />

Fourth graders are in the process of learning aspects of all of<br />

the above and more as they explore the county in which they<br />

live.<br />

County residents have been gracious to the students in<br />

the fourth grade. Nancy Reynolds gave a history lesson on a<br />

famous native, Frank Carlson, as we visited the Frank Carlson<br />

Room in the library. Another landmark fourth grade toured<br />

was the Brown Grand Theater where Amanda Watterman recounted<br />

the theater’s rich history. Students were able to look at<br />

the architecture of a historical building, the Nazareth Motherhouse,<br />

as Sister Margaret Schreck gave a tour. County Attorney<br />

Robert Walsh arranged for students to become part of a<br />

mock trial in the Cloud County Courtroom.<br />

Cloud County Day is planned in <strong>May</strong> for students to<br />

trek through history as they visit Sibley Schoolhouse, and what<br />

was Sibley Lake. The P.O.W. Camp will help students understand<br />

the role this area took in World War II. The stone arch<br />

bridge, restored by Ray Doyen, will allow students to view a<br />

structure as a keystone is explained. The highlight of the day<br />

will include a hike to the highest point in Cloud County, Twin<br />

Mounds. Kenneth Johnson allows students to have a picnic<br />

lunch as they look out over the county from this vantage point.<br />

Guest speakers, such as Roger Nelson and Lowell <strong>May</strong>,<br />

also help students learn about the area. Students review what<br />

they have learned as they create a game. A culminating event<br />

will be the music program on <strong>May</strong> 11 th . Much can be learned<br />

from “Your Own Back Door.”


K-6 Parents:<br />

<strong>USD</strong> #<strong>333</strong> will not be able to accept personal requests for a specific teacher; however we strive to divide our classes to balance<br />

STOCK MARKET GAME<br />

During the spring semester, sixth graders participated in the Stock Market Game sponsored by K-State. The students were<br />

given $100,000 of pretend funds to invest in the market. Students completed market research to determine which stocks they<br />

wanted to buy. They also completed skits about the operation of the New York Stock Exchange. The vocabulary of the stock<br />

market were emphasized. Students learned about risk and diversification, as well as the difference between stocks, bonds, and<br />

mutual funds.<br />

One of the student teams from <strong>Concordia</strong> earned first place. The team members were Devin Fleming, Skyler Muff, Austin<br />

Dobrinski, and Cameron Krager. The students and teachers would like to thank Home and School for paying the entry fee for<br />

the game. Thanks for providing the experience!<br />
