Octorara students score high marks at STEM competition

BY FRANCINE FULTON

SeveralOctorara students scored high marks for their ingenuity and creativity at the Chester County STEM design challenge held at the Chester County Intermediate Unit in Downingtown, including one fifth-grade team, which will advance to the state competition.

As part of the annual challenge, held this year on March 31, students were asked to solve the following problem: “Major environmental issues, including climate change and pollution are currently facing our world. Your team is being tasked to research environmental issues, identify one that your team would like to address, and create a solution to that issue. Build a prototype out of K’Nex that supports your solution.”

“They give (the students) the

Ladies invited to benefit tea, auction

“Like a traditional tea, tiered plates will hold the tea sandwiches and desserts. It’s all fancy and girly,” said Jennie Straub, executive director, when describing the 13th annual Ladies’ Tea and Auction that is being hosted by Pregnancy Resources at Cornerstone. The event will take place on Saturday, May 6, at Linville Hill Elementary School,

295 S. Kinzer Road, Paradise, Registration will open at 9:30 a.m., and activities will begin at 10 a.m.

All proceeds will benefit the center, which educates and supports women facing unplanned pregnancies. “We will give an update on what we do as a ministry and the new things that are happening at the ministry,” said Straub. “Then, we will go into a traditional ladies’ high tea.”

problem in December, and then the kids work in teams of three to four to solve the problem,” explained Christine Gray, the gifted support teacher at Octorara Intermediate School (OIS). “They have to brainstorm and use the design thinking process, and they have to do research, create blueprints, create an engineering journal and do a presentation.”

materials with them and re-create their design, and then they have a presentation to a panel of judges,” she said.

Gray noted that all student team members work on problem solving together. “I coach them, but it is their idea,” she stated. “They all have to do the presentation, (and) they all have to help with the building. It is a team approach. There is not necessarily a leader. They collaborate throughout the whole process.”

The gift of life

Gray explained that students created a prototype, which they rebuilt at the competition. “When they get to the challenge, they have to rebuild their project in two hours from scratch. They bring the

One fifth-grade team from OIS, called Team Seas, created the Ocean Olympian, a vehicle that can travel on land and in water to eliminate plastic and other waste found in the ocean. Students Jack Bierlein, Jack McGinnis and Andrew Mitman placed first in the fourth- and fifthgrade division and will move on to the state level in Harrisburg on Friday, May 12.

In November of 2022, Community Courier readers were introduced to Nicholas Madrigale of Atglen, who was in need of a heart transplant.

Today, Madrigale, who turned 32 on April 19, not only has a new heart, but he is also home recuperating with his family. “I am sore and not as strong physically, but I have moments when I (realize) I never felt this good before,” he said.

The surgery took place at the University of Pennsylvania in

Philadelphia, where Madrigale had been a patient for 95 days waiting for a donor heart. “In December 2022 they did a heart catheterization. They noted that my levels were not stable enough to go home, and they implanted an Impella heart pump,” he explained. “I was hooked up to a machine that assisted my heart in pumping. You cannot leave the hospital with that.”

He received his new heart on April 1. “The organ procurement center called me on Saturday morning at 2 a.m. and told me it would happen that day. I went in (for

“They all have to do the presentation, (and) they all have to help with the building. It is a team approach.”

surgery) at 7 p.m. and came out at 2 in the morning,” he said. “I woke up on Sunday and was sore, and on Monday, they had me sit in a chair. I walked on Tuesday. It gets easier once you get up.”

Madrigale returned home on April 12 to his girlfriend, Danielle Hayes, and their four children. He is now able to breathe easier and enjoy a good night’s sleep. “I

am trying to figure out the best way to put it into words. It’s a new lease on life,” he shared. “I am lucky enough to be home and recovering.”

Madrigale hopes to someday meet the family members of the organ donor, but that decision would be up to them. “There is a process from the organ center. I know (the heart) came from Kentucky,” he said. “You can write a letter and it goes to a third party, and they send the information to the donor family and it’s up to them to respond. This person is now a part of me, (but) it’s up to them. I will accept what they decide.”

Madrigale is already thinking about returning to work. “In the next two or three months, I will eventually be cleared for cardiac

West Chester University (WCU), West Chester, has earned the 2023-24 Military Friendly School designation, maintaining Gold status in recognition of leading practices, outcomes, and effective programs for members of the military and veterans enrolled at the university. Military Friendly is a standard that measures an organization’s commitment to, efforts toward, and success in creating sustainable and meaningful benefit for the military community.

More than 1,800 schools sought the Military Friendly designation by participating in the 2023-24 proprietary survey. Institutions were also evaluated using public data sources. Of the 530 institutions that earned the general designation, only 250 nationally were selected for Gold award status, which is reserved for schools that scored within

10% of the 10th ranking school in their category.

WCU strives to create an intentional culture of understanding, acceptance, and success for veterans, active military members, National Guard service members, and those who support them. Services and

resources for members of the military and veterans at WCU are centralized through the Greg and Sandra Weisenstein Veterans Center, thanks to the endeavors of WCU leadership, the WCU Foundation, and the WCU Veterans Center team.

Menu items, which will be prepared by Hillary Prickett from The Salted Apron, will include homemade scones with lemon curd and jellies, quiche, finger sandwiches and desserts.

A highlight of the evening each year is the table decorations. “Individual hostesses volunteer to decorate a table, and they invite their friends to sit at their table,” explained Straub, noting that prizes are awarded to the top three tables. “The tables are beautiful; these people are so creative.”

Last year, one of the tables featured a baby theme, and each napkin was folded into the shape of a diaper. Another table included a plant in a teacup for each of the guests. Some table hostesses bring their own teapots and cups and

bake individualized cookies.

In addition to the food, the fundraiser will include a live auction. Among the items on the auction block will be tickets to Sight & Sound, a weekend getaway at a beach property, dinner vouchers and tickets to Longwood Gardens. “We get donations from the community like floral

arrangements, wreaths and gift certificates (to local businesses),” said Straub. “We go to a local auction and buy potted flowers and hanging plants, and we auction those off as well.”

Pregnancy Resources at Cornerstone is located at 5380 Lincoln Highway, Gap. The facility offers medical quality pregnancy testing and an ultrasound service to confirm viable pregnancies. Appointments are free and confidential. The vision of the ministry is to empower individuals to embrace life-honoring choices.

For more information, to host a table or to purchase tickets for the tea, visit www.pregnancyresources.org or contact event coordinator Kristi Martin at kri@pregnancy resources.org or 717-4428694. The tea is open to women age 18 and older. Tickets will be available at the door.

Veterans Affairs benefits reported

In January, Chester County veterans received more federal benefit payoutsexcluding survivor and pension benefits - than any other county in Pennsylvania, according to the Chester County Department of Veterans Affairs. Over $3 million was paid to veterans in January, nearly $500,000 more than Berks County, which was ranked second.

The mission of Veterans Affairs is to provide information and guidance that makes it easier for veterans and their families to get the most out of the benefits that they are entitled to under county, state, and federal laws.

The Veterans Affairs Central Office in Washington, D.C., is the source of a monthly report that shows a breakdown by county of benefits payouts and the number of claimants.
