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. For

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.”

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.
