FINES LIST! PLEASE CHECK WITH THE BOOKKEEPER TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT ON THE FINES LIST!

YEARBOOKS! The number of printed Yearbooks have been ordered and there is a good chance we will run out this year. We have presold 220 yearbooks.

Preordering early in the school year helps us out with deciding on how many yearbooks to have printed with Jostens. With so many late preorders this year, we did not realize the number of yearbooks that would be purchased! There will be just a few yearbooks available at the yearbook signing First come, first served!

Have you heard the band this year?

If you haven’t had a chance to hear the Mazama Symphonic Band this year, they will be performing at the Basin Band Festival on April 9th at the Ross Ragland Theater. We hope you can attend!

Congratulations to our STEM & M Class of 2022!

MAZAMA ROBOTICS Exciting news for our Mazama Robotics team. At their most recent competition, Javier Gonzalez and Brandon Lewis got 2nd place in the Platinum Bracket (out of 72 teams). This is an amazing accomplishment as it is their first year competing. Their place qualified them to compete in the VEX World Championships in April in Louisville, Kentucky.

The Worlds competition hosts 650+ teams from 90+ countries. The event is the Olympics of robotics and even has a parade of nations to kick off the event. We have a short amount of time to raise funds for this competition. We are seeking sponsors at all levels. If a business or individual would like to sponsor, please have them contact Laura Nickerson @ nickerson@kcsd.k12.or.us.

We also had the following accomplishments:  Jake Healey, Gordon McCreadie and Markus Patton won the Excellence Award (like the MVP) for the Gold Bracket (40 teams). They also placed 2nd in a dramatic 1 point loss in the championship match.  Jon Allison and Aidyn Smith were nominated for a sportsmanship award and competed very well in the Gold Bracket.  Kayden Kappas, Lucy Pena and Asia Scott as well as Geremy Mathews also competed in the Platinum bracket and were selected for alliance partners. 

It was a great weekend full of unexpected successes!

Regionals at OIT Marketing Officer Charity Hamar becomes best friends with Oregon Institute of Technology’s mascot, Hooty the Owl. Hooty was “on display” during the Regional competition. He was present in workshops across the building and a friendly face in the crowd of strangers.

Our Mazama FBLA seniors did an amazing job this year. The majority of our seniors advanced to State Business Leadership Conference, or SBLC. The class of 2019 seniors competed in a variety of competitions, such as, Client Services, Personal Finance, Marketing and Agricultural Business. This is their last Regional Conference together, and this years SBLC will be their last as well. We hope to see some of them return. as alumni to Mazama FBLA.

Fifty-four of Mazama’s FBLA members attended the Regional competition February 6, 2019 at Oregon Institute of Technology.

Fifty-seven members will be attending the State Business Leadership Conference in Portland, Oregon this April, 2019.
