Letters to the Editor

REF Runs Duvall 5K/10K : Fun Runs in the Sun

Dear Editor,

On June 5, 2010, Riverview Education Foundation hosted the 5^th annual Duvall 5K/10K Runs under sunny blue skies. It was a great morning of competition and camaraderie and REF wants to say “thank you!” to Duvall and the surrounding running communities for your participation. We also want to say “thanks!” to our amazing volunteers : this event was made possible by a dedicated group of course marshals, medical personnel, water station workers, registration volunteers, post-race food coordinators, sweeps, pacers, photographers and finish chute workers. Without them, there would simply be no race. They do a tremendous job!

Hats off to our wonderful sponsors as well! Please visit them here: http://www.refweb.org/duvallrun_sponsors.htm We sure are grateful for their help and support – their generosity makes fundraising for health and wellness programming in the Riverview School District a reality. We sincerely appreciate their hands-on community involvement.

So a big thanks to all of you and save the date: we’ll see you at the start line on June 4, 2011!

Wishing you the Best of Times,

Paige Denison, Race Director Dean Vergillo, Course Director

Sam Linnerooth named Benton Scholar

Cedarcrest Senior Sam Linnerooth named Benton Scholar at Colgate University Sam Linnerooth Congratulations to CHS Senior, Sam Linnerooth. Sam has been accepted to Colgate University in Hamilton, New York. Sam chose Colgate after visiting some East Coast schools during his spring break. Sam valued Colgate’s small student population of 2800, its high teacher to student ratio and the fact that it is rated #19 in the nation for Liberal Arts Colleges. Although Sam was offered Honors Programs at many schools, Colgate went above and beyond by naming him a “Benton Scholar”, making him one of 16 students chosen out of the 760 freshman accepted. The Benton Scholars Program teaches students leadership in a global context. The classes and experiences of student’s participating in this program will ensure they are poised for success in the 21st century. This impressive scholarship was developed as a model for how a liberal arts education can be shaped to prepare students to think, act and create in a world that is increasingly diverse; providing scholars with activities and selected courses that will bring new perspectives to not only their experiences on campus, but throughout their lives. Participants in the Benton Scholars Program are students who have demonstrated the ability to think and lead, and share a passion to have a positive impact on their world. Sam began his college search over a year ago. He was assisted by Kevin Miller of College Planning Solutions in Bellevue. He appreciated the assistance that CPSI gave him; helping with compiling his application and finding schools that aligned with his interests. Colgate is the only University to have a partnership with the National Institute of Health in Washington D.C. Sam will have the opportunity to spend a semester during his junior year, living in D.C. and doing research at the institute. Sam explained, “This prospect fits perfectly with my plans, as my long term goal is to go on to medical school and become a doctor.” Sam is very excited to attend Colgate. He shared, “the freshman class is just the right size for me, and the town of Hamilton has a nice “small-town feel.” Sam’s college applications included his many achievements as a student at Cedarcrest and in his personal life as well. He has been a CHS ASB Officer for the past three years, the Rotary Student of the Month, a Rotary International Exchange Participant, the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation (CCFA) honored Hero, CCFA Walk Caption for several years, and a CCFA Camp Leader in training. Sam will be graduating from Cedarcrest this year with a 3.96 GPA and will also be the 2010 Class Salutatorian. Our Congratulations Sam and his family! Add new comment
