Notes of Interest/KUDOs

·        Tim Reichert, April Burbank and Shirlee Wohl have been awarded second place  in the 2008 Toshiba Exploravision competition, beating out over 1,000 other high school teams from all over the US and Canada. They conceived a conceptual technology that will repair diseased and damaged nerve cells using enzymes and created a web site that shows how their technology will work.  The trio will travel to Washington DC with their families in June for a satellite media tour at the National Press Club, meetings with our congressional delegation, tours, and each will receive a $5,000 award from Toshiba America.  No, the teacher-coach does not receive $5,000! Congratulations to April, Tim and Shirlee on their fabulous work. Please take a moment to look at their remarkable website listed with the 2008 winners at  www.exploravision.org.  Also, congratulations to John Dixon, David Hildebrand, Alex Hennessey, Dylan Hudson,(Adult Stem Cell Therapy), Ashley Nixon, Tova Tomasi, Michaela Cornbrooks (Advanced Microchip for Alzheimers),  Benjamin Brooks, Ben Hain, Enhanced Osteogenesis and Nanotube Systems), Christina Mignano, John Hill, Taylor Limanek and Stephanie Puma (Carbon Removal System).  Their Toshiba projects won Honorable Mention Awards in the competition, meaning they were judged to be in the top 10 percent of  entries from the US and Canada.
