Miles with meaning

Fourth-grade students at Dorothy Fox Elementary School had the opportunity to learn about the famous "Voyage of Discovery" through an Oregon Museum of Science and Industry interactive outreach workshop. It included hands-on stations exploring cartography, taxonomy, anthropology, astronomy and botany. It was made available through a grant from the Camas Educational Foundation.

This year marks the 15th anniversary of the Camas Educational Foundation. To celebrate, board members have named the annual auction, “Soaring with CEF: Our 15 year Journey,” and are asking community members to donate unused airline miles.

“The idea came from the Make-A-Wish Foundation,” said Mandy Huth, CEF president. “They have a great message about donating miles or tickets to children. Since this year’s auction is based on a journey, I thought this was a good approach to ask our community to support the children in this manner.”
