8A COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL MARCH 28, 2018 Scholarship opportunity Funded by a donation from the physicians and surgeons at the Slocum Center for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, at least six $1,500 college scholarships will be awarded in May to Lane Coun- ty’s most promising high school seniors from The Slocum Research & Education Foundation. This scholarship opportunity is available only to local high school seniors who are interested in pursuing health-related education and training. The deadline to apply for the College Scholarship Program for High School Seniors is March 30, 2018. Submissions are welcomed through the Slocum Foundation website at www.slocumfoundation.org. The Slocum Foundation’s Scholarship Program targets well-rounded high school seniors who plan to pursue a career in healthcare, health-related research, and public or community health. Applicant requirements include a grade point average of 3.0 or higher and a signifi cant fi nancial need. Additionally, strong ap- plicants must demonstrate academic achievement, involvement in extracurricular activities, leadership activities, dedication to com- munity service, and outstanding letters of recommendation. In offering this competitive college scholarship over the past eight years, recipients have been supported in their aspirations for attending technical school, community college, public universities, and Ivy League institutions. “Our high school graduates have really incredible ambitions, from 3-D printing of blood cells at Carnegie Mellon to serving our most vulnerable populations and impacting maternal health and birth outcomes,” said Dr. Brick Lantz, Slocum Center orthopedic surgeon and President of the Slocum Research & Education Foun- dation’s Board of Directors. “And we continue to be impressed with our applicants for their academic merit and commitment to commu- nity service.” The Slocum Research & Education Foundation’s mission is to improve musculoskeletal care across the lifespan through commu- nity-based research, education, and collaboration and supports this through the development of future healthcare professionals through this annual college scholarship program. Slocum Center for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, the Pacifi c Northwest's premier provider of progressive orthopedic care, and The Slocum Research and Education Foundation have worked col- laboratively to provide the Eugene community and the surround- ing areas advanced, highly specialized musculoskeletal care and community-based research and education for nearly 30 years. Both named in honor of Donald B. Slocum, M.D., a world-recognized leader in orthopedics and considered one of the founding fathers of sports medicine as an orthopedic subspecialty, Slocum and The Slocum Foundation continue the tradition of innovation and lead- ership through research, commitment to advancing musculoskeletal care training, and community partnerships.

Spring break: Tips to keep kids engaged Anywhere from between one to three month’s worth of educa- tional achievement can dissipate during prolonged breaks from the classroom. To help ensure that those hard-earned lessons are not so easily forgotten, parents can help children remain intellectually engaged in various ways over school breaks. • Stick to a schedule. Try to maintain a schedule similar to school, with children waking at the same time each day and going to bed at similar hours. This will make it much easier to get back into a routine when school starts again. • Encourage reading. Set aside time for reading each day. All it generally takes is 15 to 30 minutes of reading per day for kids to remember their vocabulary lessons and maintain their fl uency and comprehension skills. • Keep a math book handy. On long car trips or rainy days, chil- dren can do a few math problems to keep their skills sharp. • Plan educational trips. Vacations and day trips can be fun, en- tertaining and educational all at the same time. Science centers, museums and living history locations can bring to life information learned in the classroom, even on family vacations. • Learn at camp. Many children attend camp for a portion of their school breaks. Look for camps that do not simply babysit children, but engage them through enrichment activities. • Take a class. Children and families can learn together by explor- ing new skills. Enroll in something educational and enjoyable, such as a music or dance class, a STEM seminar or something else that engages the mind and body. This gives everyone a chance to learn something new and have a great time together as a family. Parents and educators can reduce lesson loss over school breaks by encouraging families to remain intellectually engaged in any way they can. Fertilizer and Amendments Available Here!
