Jackson Vogele, 6, who donated a baggie full of pennies to help
with aid in Southeast Asia.
boy brought all he had to
Christmas is usually
a time when children are very
consum ed
with
themselves . new toys to
play with and a vacation
from school But things
changed in a drastic way on
Dec. 26 as the world
watched the news in horror
following the earthquake
and tsunami in Southeast
Asia
When the young
people returned to school on
Jan 3, the pictures and
staggering numbers had
touched everyone deeply
and the whole school family
wanted to do something to
help Coffee cans were
covered with newspaper
clippings o f the tragedy and
colorful shiny stars were
scattered across the articles
A coffee can in a fifth-sixth
grade classroom quickly
started to fill, so another can
was left at the office and a
note was sent home in
M onday folders letting
parents know about the
fundraiser
A
kindergarten
student came with a baggie
stuffed full with pennies and
a few larger coins He was
beaming from ear to ear and
said that his dad had helped
him fill the sack He may not
know where Sri Lanka or
Thailand are, but he knows
he can do something to help
the children Another young
give, 27 cents
Some
students used some of their
Christm as money, while
others returned cans and
bottles to the store and
brought in the refund money
Others visited with their
families about the tragedy
and brought donations from
their parents.
The money came
steadily and the older
students started reading the
newspaper and watching the
TV to see which movie starts
and “ other rich peo p le”
donated to the cause There
were many good discussions
about the kind “rich people”
that helped out and the
students decided on their
own that Sandra Bullock is
their favorite actress and
Leonardo DiCaprio is their
favorite actor.
After an ad on
Channel 3, com m unity
members even stopped by
the school with donations
and two $100 checks were
added to the cans The final
total of money collected was
approxim ately $646. A
check for that amount will be
sent this week to Mercy
Corps in Portland, who has
been on the scene from day
one and continues their
efforts yet
The community of
Heppner has the right to be
very proud of their young
people with big hearts
G lobes lined the
stage and red, white and blue
balloons flew' high as the 12
young geographers from
Heppner Elementary School
com peted in the annual
Geography Bee The Bee,
which is sponsored by the
National
G eographic
Society, was held Thursday,
Jan 13 in the school’s gym
Students in grades 3-6
attended as well as parents
and well-wishers from the
community.
All of the geography
wizards were students in
grades five and six and they
were Donald Matthews,
Justin Gutierrez, lan Murray,
Eric Chick, Devin Robinson,
Stephanie Schuler, Sarah
Kendrick, Shane Smith,
Willy Gentry, Joe Armato,
Michael Hawks and Nick
Kempas Reading questions
for the competition was
H E S ’s 5-6 grade social
students teacher, Karen
Smith-Griffith and Jannie
Allen served as score and
time keeper
The prelim inary
round of seven questions for
each student narrowed the
field to five competitors-
Hawks, Gutierrez, Chick,
Kendrick and Kempas
Following three questions,
there were two young men
left to vie for the medal,
Kempas and Gutierrez In
the championship round, all
answers are written as both
contestants receive the same
questions
The new National
G eographic
Society
C ham pion
is
Justin
Gutierrez, with Kempas a
worthy runner-up Gutierrez
will take a written test, which
is sent to Washington. D C
to the Society. If he scores
high enough on the test, he
will be invited to compete at
the Oregon State Fair
Following
the
contest, contestants and their
families were treated to
cookies from around the
world, which were baked by
the staff members of HES
C ookies from Israel,
England, Sweden, Norway,
Mexico, Denmark, Italy and
Scotland provided a global
air to the reception
When asked how the
Bee was from a contestant’s
point o f view, one o f the
students replied, “It was kind
of scary, but I was so glad I
knew some of the answers
The cookies and jelly beans
were really good too ” Each
participant received a ja r of
jellybeans red, white and
blue, of course
