Last week was like Christmas all over again for several local schools. That's because the Camas Educational Foundation came through with its annual "prize patrol," awarding 32 mini-grants to educators across the Camas School District. Grant requests funded items ranging from play equipment for the Papermaker Pre-School to seed money for student science research projects at Camas High School.
Three Camas schools were among 186 statewide that earned an Achievement Award, considered the highest honor from the state of Washington. Skyridge Middle School, Liberty Middle School and Camas High School made the list for overall excellence. The schools were judged on overall excellence, language arts, math, science, extended graduation rate, improvement and achievement.

John Barrette and Brendan Casey wanted to wrestle each other one more time in the Tacoma Dome. After Casey pinned Mount Baker's Levi Wigg in the opening round, and Barrette beat Joel Trujillo of Burlington Edison 13-2, the two Washougal High School seniors were just a victory away from facing each other in the semifinals. If that happened, it guaranteed at least one of them would be wrestling for a state championship Saturday night and the other would still be going home with a medal.
On Feb. 5 Camas High School sent two Science Olympiad teams to the Aviation Invitational tournament in Des Moines, Wash. They returned victorious with the first- and third-place trophies. Last year's Washington state champion took fourth-place, and last year's Oregon state champion came in sixth.
