Feeling good by doing good for others VHS graduates received many
awards and scholarships
The smiles above illustrate the satisfaction
and pleasure that Vernonia High School stu
dents felt as they presented a check for $3,000
to Ken Dale, Assistant Director of the Juvenile
Diabetes Research Foundation. Presenting the
check at an assembly shortly before the end of
the school is the 2002-2003 Student Body Pres
ident Heather Forster.
Leadership students organized several fund
raisers for JD as part of the Associated Student
Body President’s Challenge. Heather decided on
JD because she had worked with diabetic chil-
dren at Larry Steele’s camp during the past cou
ple of years.
Fundraisers included proceeds from the first
dance of the school year, product sales and raf
fles, and one activity that allowed students to
tape teacher/advisor Ms. Patti Dickens-Turk to
the gym wall with duct tape, at 50 cents a foot
(She stayed attached to the wall for 45 minutes).
In a separate project that benefited JD, music
student Jake Brock produced an evening of en
tertainment that filled the gym with a paid crowd.
