Chiawana’s DECA and Football Team Honored

by State House of Representatives

Chiawana High School’s DECA club and 4A State championship football team were recognized with a resolution by the State House of Representatives on January 27 in Olympia.

Chiawana’s DECA club won a national contest and was awarded a $25,000 State Farm grant for the “Celebrate My Drive” cam-paign, which will be used to promote safe driving for teens. Rep-resentative Susan Fagan was at CHS when students were sur-prised with the announcement of the win. DECA advisor Leslie Bell was honored by the House for her leadership. DECA Presi-dent Haley McLaughlin attended the recognition.

The State House recognized and honored Chiawana’s champion-ship football team and the people who helped them achieve their winning season. They included head coach Steve Graff, athletic director John Cazier, and the assistant coaching staff, which in-clude Don Hogue, Dave Spray, Kevin Pederson, Troy Sommer-ville, Steve Davis, Scott Bond, Robert Reid, Joe Carrasco, Chris Fowler, Chad Herron, Robert Booth, Mike Clayton and volunteer coaches Ryan Tolar, Brad Anderson, Kevin McCallum, Kim Cox and Jose Mejia.

Also honored for their support of the championship was dance

coach Molly Monarch, cheer coach Stefani Hansen, band direc-tors Kevin Clayton and Matt Larsen, and activities coordinator Sarah LeDuc and her leadership team.

Chiawana High School Principal John Wallwork, assistant princi-pals Brian Baker, Phil Koestner, Bryan Meredith, and Antonio Rubalcava, and Dean of Students Angie Session were also rec-ognized for their support of both winning teams.

The recognition coincided with the annual Washington Associate of School Administrators/Washington State School Directors’ Assoication Legislative Conference. Superintendent Saundra Hill, Board President Sherry Lancon, Vice President Ryan Brault and board members Scott Lehrman and Steve Christensen were in attendance. Students representatives to the Board Neydeen Mar-tinez (PHS) and Ovidio Castillio (CHS) also attended the confer-ence and recognition.

“We are very proud of the teams that made these two wins possible and we are grateful to our state representatives for honoring their accomplishments,” says Hill.

On January 29 seven seniors received their diplomas in a special gradu-ation ceremony. Those graduating were Madina Abkikadir, Melissa Lopez, Dahir Mohamud, Jackson Nieforth, Irving Nunez, Moises Saldana, Gustabo Vazquez. Proud family members, friends, teachers, counselors, school board members, Superintendent Saundra Hill and CHS Principal John Wallwork were present for the ceremony.

Deaf student Dahir Mohamud was more than enthusiastic about his accomplishment as he signed his gradua-tion speech with interpreter Paula Bazinet. Dahir spoke of all the lessons he learned throughout the years. “The most im-portant lesson I learned at Chiawana High School is respect. Beginning in 2009 - I learned patience, in 2010 - I learned to keep trying, in 2011- I learned that everything takes practice, in 2012 - I learned to work hard, and last year, 2013, I think my brain grew

double just to hold all I’ve learned! Now it is 2014 and we’re gradu-ating; I’m so proud! My teacher taught me to try, pay attention, and most importantly, respect everyone. We must respect everyone. With respect, you can resolve problems and avoid trouble and life will be smoother. My teacher was the best. I thank all the staff at CHS hat has helped me to graduate and my family.”

CHS is very proud of all these graduates; they are overcomers and have worked hard to achieve their goals without giving up. Thank you to all the teachers, counselors, administrators and family who helped them along the way. We wish them much success in the future.

Freezin’ for a Reason

The Polar Plunge is a Tri-City annual event sponsored by state and local law enforcement to benefit Special Olympics. Chia-wana’s team included Matthew Miller, Kentin Alford, Gabriela Barraza, McKinley Powers, Andrew Sengmanyphet, Angie Sessions, Jennifer Quintanilla and Angela Zavaleta and Princi-pal John Wallwork. The team raised $625 for Special Olympics.

Dean of Students Angie Sessions was in the Chicken Coop be-cause of a leg injury, but her sis-ter jumped in her place. It looked like the best place to be after the plunge was in the hot tub.

Way to plunge,

Riverhawks!

Washington State requires all school districts to have a HIB (Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying) policy for their district as well as an annual training for all staff and students.

On January 31, CHS Leadership students held an assembly on HIB for each class. Students were shown a video and heard testimonies from students about being victims of bullying. They sent a clear message that “Bullying will not be tolerated.”

Another form of bullying that has increased over the last few years is “cyber bullying.” New laws are being passed and enforced to cut down on this type of bullying.

The Pasco School District, in compliance with HB 1444, has adopted (PSD Policy 3207), Prohibition of Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying. This policy clearly states that bullying or harassment of any kind will not be tolerated on any of our campuses.

This policy is printed in our CHS student handbook for your review (Page 33) Bullying/harassment/Intimidation (W.A.C. 28A.600.XXX, 4.C.2. 9A.36.080): Students are expected to respect the individual rights of all persons while on campus and at school functions or activities.

Everyone, including students, school person-nel, parents, and community members are to be treated with respect. Any form of harass-ment (including sexual), intimidation, or bully-ing will not be tolerated. Any student who harasses, intimidates, bullies, or threatens another student, either directly or indirectly, is subject to disciplinary action ranging to explulsion. This includes any electronic means (text messages, Facebook,Twitter or other social media) or through friends.

Copies of the policy are available from any administrator at Chiawana High School. Any student subject to harassment should immediately report the problem to a school offi-cial (teacher, counselor or adminis-trator.)

Students Participate in Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying Assembly

Host Families Needed

Chiawana High School will participate in a Japanese cultural exchange program in April. Host families are needed to house 80 high school students (two students per family). The exchange happens every two years. Students will arrive on April 11 and leave April 25. If you are interested in being a host family, please contact Mary Beltran at mbel-tran@psd1.org before April 1.

Also, Chiawana students will have the oppor-tunity to travel to Japan as part of this exchange program this summer, July 18-August 2. If you are interested in going, please contact Mrs. Beltran.

National Counselors Week

The week of February 3-7 was National School Counselors Week. CHS has seven dedicated counselors, Tino Barrera, KC Bennion, Domingo Gonzales, Ginaflor Hinnant, Mary Gutierrez, Brian Thom-

as and Andre Wren. Their mission and goal...make sure your child is successful in their high school experience and prepare them for life after high school.

Counselors are advocates for your kids. Not only do they intervene and assist in times of crisis, but they help craft the future by guiding students to careers, vocations, apprenticeship programs,

colleges, and scholarships. They also help students with their Financial Aid applications. They are the link between parent/student, teacher/student or administrator/student. Don’t hesitate to call your student’s counselor if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child.

Thank CHS Counselors for always

going the extra mile for our kids!

Speech & Debate—Talking Their Way to the Top

It’s a long season for speech and debate. Prac-tices begin in October, and from November through mid-March, there’s a tournament about every other week. Students give up a Saturday to board a bus early in the morning, speak all day and return home around midnight. There are no cheerleaders, no spectators, no pep rallies; parents hardly even watch their students compete. Students participate because they

love the men-tal challenge of their “sport.”

But for those students who choose to

participate, there are great re-wards. “It’s so fun to meet people from other schools and hang out with them between rounds,” says Chiawana sophomore Ashley Hahn, who just qualified for her first state tournament. It is that camaraderie among competitors that helps set Speech and Debate apart from other high school activities.

In the course of a typical speech tournament, students may participate in Student Congress, Lincoln Douglas or Public Forum debate, and as many as four of the individual speaking events. Generally, each student presents his or her speech three times, or engages in three rounds of debate. That all adds up to a lot of talking.

Speech and Debate attracts many types of students, from the super-studious to the dra-matic. Because of the length of the speech season, many students are able to juggle being on a sports team with being on a debate team. Until recently, when Southridge started compet-ing, Pasco’s two high schools had the only active competitive speech programs in the Tri-Cities. It began when CHS English teacher Ramona Mitchell, who had done speech and debate in her own high school years, started a team at Pasco High School the year before Chiawana opened. She was assisted by Darby Swanson, who is now the Pasco head coach. At Chiawana, Mitchell is assisted in the “Hawk Tawk” program by Vicky Hyde, who came to Chiawana in 2010 with six years’ experience in Montana’s highly competitive speech and de-bate system.

“The kids have come a long way from the beginning of the season,” says Mitchell, who welcomed many new students to the team this year. “It’s always interesting to watch as they find just what type of event suits them best, and then begin to have success in it.”

Chiawana’s team is also affiliated with the Na-tional Forensics League (Debate and Speech Honor Society). Qualifying for nationals is a separate event from state competition. Not all schools with a speech and debate programs belong to the NFL, and NFL competitive dis-tricts are different from state high school com-

petitive districts. In the past, Chiawana qualified one for Nationals in 2011 and three in 2012. This year’s national tournament will be held in Overland Park, Kansas June 15-20.

Chiawana will be well-represented at this year’s State Speech and Debate Tournament, to be held at The University of Puget Sound on March 15 (individual events) and March 21-22 (debates and Student Congress).

Congratulations to Nicholas Higgins who won District Champion. Chiawana’s nine State Qualifiers (with placing at the qualifying tourna-ment) are:

Student Congress—Nicholas Higgins (District Champion), Lloyd LeClair (8th place)

Expository—Ashley Hahn (2nd Place)

Dramatic Interpretation of Literature—Nicholas Higgins (2nd Place), Anna Amoureux (6th Place), Eunice Deras (7th Place), Lorena Lopez (8th Place)

Original Oratory—Patrick Williams (6th Place)

Impromptu Speaking—Lloyd LeClair (7th Place)

Humorous Interpretation of Litera-ture—Ana Carvajal (4th Place), Ash-ley Hahn (6th Place)

Interpretive Reading—Nicholas Hig-gins (4th Place), Anna Amoureux (9th Place)

Duo Interpretation—Ana Carvajal and Andrew Giddens (2nd Place)

Left to right, front row: Head Coach Ramona Mitchell, Daniels Sevilla, Ana Carvajal, Ann Amoureux, Andrew Giddens, Patty Ayala, Ashley Hahn and Lorena Lopez. Back row: Jere-my Tompkins, Lloyd LeClair, Nick Higgins (Captain), Patrick Williams, and Jason Hopkins (Captain).

Congratulations Speech and Debaters—way to Hawk Talk!

Valentine’s Day is one of the busiest floral days of the year and, for advanced floriculture students, it was the same for them. They spent weeks planning their big day. Candy kiss roses were made, balloons blown up, flowers prepared, arrangements made, and stuffed animals placed on the shelves to sell.

Blooming Hawks is the name of Chiawana’s floral shop and they are open every day during lunch periods for stu-dents and staff. They run their shop just like a regular floral shop, with the profits going to scholarships in the spring for seniors. They are not competing with other local floral shops—it’s strictly an in-house business. The skills they learn from this class, though, can transfer to working in a real floral shop. Teacher Renee Johnson says, “The kids work very hard and do a great job. It’s a busy week but it’s also fun.”

Attention Seniors!

Seniors, do you have any outstanding fines? You will not be able to walk in the graduation ceremony

if your fines are not paid. Now is a good time to start paying those fines in the ASB office.

On February 19 CHS seniors heard motivational speaker Dennis Mitch-ell, President of Dennis Mitchell Empowerment Seminars. Mitchell’s story goes from tragedy to triumph, from growing up in a broken family and living on the streets as a thief in his youth, to spending time in pris-on, and then turning his life around to become a motivational speaker.

Mitchell has many titles and awards beside his name, such as hosting his own TV talk show, interviewing celebrities. He is a published author, but nothing compares to his motivation to speak to teens about practic-ing safe driving habits. His passion stems from his own personal loss, the death of his five-year-old son in 1982, killed by a drunk driver. Since that tragedy he has spent the past 21 years traveling around the country speaking to students. He engages his audience with humor and his own personal story.

Mitchell shared that the number one cause of deaths among teens is car accidents. What distractions are most likely to cause these acci-dents?

Driving while under the influence of alcohol/drugs

Texting/talking on cell phone

Speeding

Other passengers in the car

Loud music

Eating while driving

Teens are less likely to use seatbelts and more likely to be in an acci-dent the first six months after getting their license.

Celebrate My Drive was a campaign sponsored by CHS DECA and State Farm in October 2013 to encourage students and staff to pledge online to practice safe driving habits. CHS DECA received a $25,000 grant from State Farm to promote safe driving and the Every 15 Minutes program. Because of the grant they were able to bring Mitchell to speak.

Chiawana’s Every 15 Minutes program for seniors will be on April 24 and 25. Students will simulate a car crash with the help of local officials.

Mitchell’s final words to seniors was to not be a thief and rob yourself of your future by making poor choices while driving. For more information visit www.safedrivinforteens.com.

Chiawana Band and Director

Among Top in State

The Chiawana Band and Director Kevin Clayton recently received State honors. The band program was se-lected as one of only three high school bands in the state of Washington to be fea-tured at the 2014 Washington Music Educa-tors’ Association (WMEA) biennial confer-ence in Yakima on February 13-17. Band teacher Kevin Clayton was selected as Columbia Basin Region Outstanding Music Educator for 2013-14.

Bands from all over the state sent in record-ed auditions and a committee picked the best three. “This is huge for our music program,” says Clayton. “This is the top honor awarded to bands within our state,

and as close as it gets to a state championship for band pro-grams.” The band performed before hundreds of music educators from all over the state of Washington.

Congratulations to CHS Band

and Kevin Clayton!

A Note from the Principal

WOW! Did you know that your dollars did all that? I consider it a great blessing to live in a supportive and caring

community. THANK YOU!

The second semester is in progress and the 2013-2014 academic year is flying by. As you receive your student’s grades from first semester, please contact our office if you have any questions or concerns. We always encourage you to call us to set up a conference with new teach-ers to see how best you can support your child’s education.

Sincerely, John Wallwork

12th Man Spirit

January 31 was declared Seahawk Day at Chiawana and the 12th Man spirit was alive and well. While most of the students and staff were rooting for the Seahawks and wear-ing their blue and green, there were others who were Bronco fans wearing their blue and orange. Some went even so far as to have their hair cut with a Seahawk logo. In the end, it was evident that it’s a HAWK NATION!
