Submitted Photo Tongue Point Job Corps students volunteered at an electronic recycling event for Global Youth Service Day and Earth Day. Tongue Point students volunteer in community The Daily Astorian Tongue Point Job Corps Center joined an estimated 2 million young people participat- ing in Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) activities nationwide April 16 and 17. In leading two service events that weekend, Tongue Point students demonstrated their commitment to addressing the needs of their community, its citizens and the environment in observance of Earth Day. One project consisted of offering the community the opportunity to recycle elec- tronics at the Center with support from Recology Western Oregon. The other project was the beatiication of the Astoria Moose Lodge, including power washing, caulking and painting, with leadership from the Inter- national Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT). Doug Flesey, Astoria Moose Lodge administrator, wrote that the demeanor of the students from the glazing and painting pro- grams was “of the highest caliber and a com- pliment to their trades. We cannot begin to thank them enough for their assistance in our time of need.” For the calendar year of 2015 TPJCC stu- dents and staff contributed over 10,000 hours of volunteer services to Clatsop County.

North Coast Multiple Sclerosis Care and Share Help Group — noon, Clatsop Retirement Village, 947 Olney Knappa has a ‘To the Moon and Back’ prom night The Daily Astorian KNAPPA — With the help of art teacher Janet Sheridan and wood/metals shop teacher Tim Kamppi, Knappa High School put on an “out of this world prom” on April 30. For the past three years, Kamppi and Sheridan have been teaming up to provide students at Knappa High School with a memorable and unique prom experience. “Each year we say to each other, ‘There is no way we can top that.’ But that is quickly followed by ‘I think we did it again!’” Sheri- dan and Kamppi said. This year’s theme was “To the Moon and Back.” Students enjoyed a “spaceship” with a motor that simulated travel to the moon, games, food, music, art- work, prizes and photo booths. Sheridan and her students in the art depart- ment created more than 25 large-scale space murals, which were used to transform the high school cafeteria and gymnasium into space. Kamppi and his woodshop/metals students built the spaceship/rocket simulator ride that sent participants to the “moon and back.” The art classes and woodshop classes teamed up to created a 7-foot-by-6-foot half moon sculp- ture and a hand-painted galaxy mural that were used as the props for the photographs. Several games were set up to provide students the opportunity to win tickets that would then be used to win prizes at the end of the night. One game required students to dissect a large papier–mâché alien sculpture. More than 20 prizes were rafled off at the end of the night including a kayak, a 40-inch lat screen TV, a Go-Pro and several gift cards and baskets. Students had to be present to win. Knappa High School proms are unique in the sense that they include the entire stu- dent body in the planning, setup and the event itself. One student summed up the evening by saying, “At most schools, they just provide a few decorations, music and a dance loor at their proms. Here at Knappa, everyone goes above and beyond to provide students with a good time.” Chair Exercises for Seniors — 9 to 9:45 a.m., Astoria Senior Center, 1111 Exchange St. For information, call 503-325-3231.

Submitted Photos Submitted Photo A replacement tree for a big leaf maple that was re- moved because of storm damage during the winter was planted by Clatsop County Girl Scouts, pictured, with the assistance of the Oregon Department of For- estry and Astoria Parks and Recreation Department. The tree was adopted by the scouts, and they will care for it in its first critical year outside, watering and weeding and making sure it is not eaten by deer. After the tree ceremony, the girls volunteered in the Tapiola Park cleanup.
