Sunny High: Low: 94 65 PAGEA10 ByHeatherHoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com DN_Heather on Twitter REDBLUFF Abby'sSweetFeet,an organization that helps children get new shoes, will be at Red Bluff River Park at 5 p.m. Monday, Aug. 10 to distribute shoes to families in need. Abby Burlison, 9, of Red Bluff created this project after seeing another child with shoes that were uncomfortable. "When she was in third grade at Jackson Heights last win- ter she was sitting with another student and noticed him having shoes that were holey and worn out." Abby's mother, Alena Burli- son, said. "She came home upset that someone would have to go to school and be uncomfortable in shoes. She asked me what she should do, so I told her to brain- storm ideas."

HEATHER HOELSCHER — DAILY NEWS By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF The second an- nual Science, Technology, En- gineering and Math Camp, a three-day camp created to en- courage students to experience and learn about different career fields through fun experiments and workshops, was held at Red Bluff High School this week. The STEM camp, as it's known, was available Tuesday through Thursday for incom- ing students in eighth grade through juniors and made pos- sible by Red Bluff High School, Tehama County Department of Education and College Options. This year's STEM Camp had a Crime Scene Investigation theme where students got to do various experiments throughout the three days. Activities included an in- formational "What is STEM?" discussion by Lorna Manuel, a STEM career discussion by Stacey Garret, a biology crime lab workshop presented by Jes- sica Gttenbein, a who dunnit investigation with Maureen Clements, a lie detector proj- ect with Rochelle Barajas and a plane activity with Cindy Mitchell. Lukas Kennedy, Red Bluff High School's physics, chemis- try and earth science teacher, was the leader of the last three activities, which included a tire quality and friction investiga- tion, a car and can crush inves- tigation and an egg drop. The egg drop on the last day involved the students work- ing in teams to create a para- chute device to protect a raw egg from the drop. Kennedy demon- strated the physics behind the egg dropping event. The school is working on in- corporating more of these type of classes into the schedule. Su- perintendent Todd Brose said STEM will start to be a bigger part of the curriculum. The classes to be added this year include anatomy, physiol- ogy, agriculture soil chemistry and computer science engineer- ing, Brose said. Other offerings Brose said he hopes will get kids more en- gaged are new mass media and guitar classes. "We are here to support and work with them," Brose said. The school will have seven classes or periods a day to incor- porate the new curriculum re- quirement. These electives and STEM programs will benefit stu- dents who plan to go to college by given them college credits for some of the courses. STEM camps are designed to help students find things they are passionate about. "We help kids understand what they need to do to move to higher education," said Ka- rissa Morehouse, of College Op- tions. "(The state) has recog- nized the importance in link- ing high school education to the work force via college." The state has funded a $500,000 grant for the project in Tehama County. The STEM program exposes students to the types of careers that the students may not have thought about before, Brose said. Activities like these will set the students of Tehama County up for success in their future en- deavours.
