VIKING NATION NEWSLETTER November, 2018
Viking Nation,
We want to thank those of you who attended Parent Teacher conferences in October and taking the time to keep current with your students’ progress at Mazama. We had over 250 parents attend over the two days and the staff appreciates the efforts. We hope to see more of you in March! Remember you can always monitor your students’ academic progress, attendance and behaviors via the Home Access system. If you don’t have your students log in information or need some assistance with the program please contact the guidance office. This is also located on our school web page www.kcsd.k12.or.us Once again our Science department is going above and beyond to assist our feeder elementary schools. Over the past few weeks we have had several of the schools visit and on October the 25th we are hosting Ferguson 2nd graders at Wards Wetlands on the MHS campus. The event will go from 11:35-1:00 pm and will be outside in the wetlands area working with our students. This last one is special because we will also have a group of 7th graders from Brixner joining us. They will lead a station on planting Native plants to Oregon that help foster the Monarch Butterfly population. The kids will be planting them in the wetlands as one of our stations. The other stations that will be discussed are water, air, soil temperatures, plant diversity and macroinvertebrates in the area. We were lucky enough last week to have a guest speaker from NASA come to speak at our school, Norman Chaffee. He is a veteran of over 50 years’ experience in the aerospace industry at the NASA Johnson Space Center, focused on the design, development, and operation of manned spacecraft and their systems. His expertise is in propulsion and power systems; robotics; biomedical engineering; systems engineering and integration; and program management. He held a number of senior positions in these areas at the NASA Johnson Space Center, from 1962 – 1998. Since 1998 he has worked as a consultant, contractor, and volunteer for the Johnson Space Center Education Office, specializing in the design and implementation of unique STEM programs for middle school and high school students. He has served as the Manager of the highly successful Space Settlement Design Competition for High School Students from 1999 to 2012. Thanks and let’s have a great year! Steve Morosin Principal

The Mazama Kindness Club, Student Government and Service Learning accepted donations for the Klamath Animal Shelter for our annual Give Back Day. We collected many supplies of dog food, cat food, litter, toys, treats and dog beds. Students sold paws to help generate cash that we turned into supplies. We presented these supplies on October 15th to the Klamath Animal Shelter. They were extremely grateful and happy for our donations. Thank you to everyone who donated. Our Vikings are pawsome!
Congratulations to our football team for their 14-6 homecoming victory over Marist High School. We would also like to congratulate Viking Nation Football for their 5th consecutive conference title! Go Viks! OUR HOMECOMING ROYALTY Grade 9 Briona Valdez Gunner Dolce

Mazama Yearbook Senior Ads Dear Senior and/or Senior Parent: Hard to believe, isn’t it, that you will be graduating in a matter of months? Doesn’t it seem like only yesterday that you were a scared little freshman trying to find your locker and avoid those “big seniors” whose sole purpose in life seemed to be to make your life miserable? You and your friends have shared some incredible times. Remember your first prom, that big game when you finally got to start, your first kiss from that extra special someone, the teacher you loved to torture, or the coach who pushed you far beyond what you thought was humanly possible? Memories are made of this—the times you and your friends shared. Even though all you can think about now is “getting’ outta here,” someday, you will look back at these high school years as some of the best years of your life. Why not tell your friends how much you care and make your message one that will last forever? Express your friendship, love, or congratulations to all the special people in your life by recognizing them with an ad in the all-color 2019 Valhalla Yearbook. Select any one of several sizes to fit your budget and personalize it with your own message, even a photo, at no extra charge. Please don’t send original photos. We cannot guarantee safe return! Digital pictur es can be emailed to bandfields@kcsd.k12.or .us. Many times several friends go together to buy an ad and include a photograph of the “gang.” Couples often choose a Winter Formal photo with a special message expressing their affection. How about thanking Mom and Dad for all the love and support they have given you over the years? Parents or grandparents often write a good luck message to their graduating senior. Write your message below or attach a copy of what you would like and put it in an envelope addressed to “Mazama High School Attn: Sarah Bandfield” with a check made payable to Mazama before December 14, 2019. Don’t let this special opportunity pass. Every time you page through your yearbook, you’ll see the personal message you sent to your special friend at the end of your high school years, and all those memories will come back for you to enjoy again and again.
