School notes

Rebekah Muir, a Washougal High School sophomore, is one of six winners in the Fort Vancouver Regional Library’s “Imagined Ink” writing contest.

Muir took second place in the high school division with her piece, “The Writer.”

The contest, sponsored by Fort Vancouver Regional Library District, invites young writers in sixth through 12th grade to submit an original work of 1,000 words or less in any format.

The 420 entries were judged by library staff. Winners were announced Oct. 23. Contest results were announced at a special event for teens at Vancouver Community Library.

The event, which also was streamed live at White Salmon Valley Community Library, featured Deb Caletti, award-winning author of “Honey, Baby, Sweetheart” and other young-adult titles.

Camas High School DECA held the MDA Golf Tournament at Camas Meadows Golf Course last week and raised $3,837.

The goal of the project was to raise both awareness and funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Chapter members from Camas DECA worked to register foursomes for the tournament. In addition, local businesses were contacted for sponsorships and donations for the raffle held at the tournament.

All proceeds from the tournament/project went directly to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The MDA Golf Tournament event is a part of a DECA Community Service Chapter Project, headed by students Amanda Shi and Andrew Carson.

The project will consist of two other parts: an MDA Hop-a-Thon targeted towards raising awareness with elementary age students and a Mr./Mrs. Camas competition for MDA that will encourage high school students to raise money and awareness.
