THIS IS SURRATTS FOUNDATION
E-NOTICE 2010-12 OF DECEMBER 1, 2010
Hello Hornets:
Here are some items that might be of interest:
1.
FOUNDATION'S ANNUAL CAMPAIGN CONTINUES.
The Foundation's annual, but rather
informal, fund raising campaign is continuing.
If you'd like to take this opportunity
to support the Foundation, a donation form is printed at the end of
this email, and is available on the Foundation's web site at
www.surrattsville.org.
In addition, a button on the web site is
available for those who would like to donate electronically using a
credit card or through Paypal.
As noted below, a number
of this year's donors have used their donations to honor a teacher
or schoolmate.
Many thanks to the generous donors the
Foundation's 2010 Campaign!
2.
LASER PRINTER AND MONITORS DONATED TO SCHOOL.
Thanks to the generosity of Stacey
Bevans Fowler (87), the Foundation has just donated a Hewlett
Packard laser jet printer and two computer monitors to the School.
The Foundation's 2010 computer equipment
donation drive has been a great success – almost 30 computers and a
number of printers and other peripherals have been donated to date
-- and is on-going.
Please send me an email at
hsmith@downey.com if you -- or your business or employer -- would
like to participate in this great effort.
3.
INTERNSHIP
OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS.
We received this note about a student internship opportunity
from Neal Dawson (73):
"All: Here's another
great opportunity for any young folks you know who might be
interested. From the
site below, SEAP provided competitive research internships to 247
high school students this year. Participating students spend eight
weeks during the summer doing research at approximately 20
Department of the Navy laboratories around the country.
See the Participating Labs button to the left on the HP,
which has Points of Contact as needed within each Lab page.
Neal
"Do you know a high school
student who is interested in science and engineering and is looking
for an apprenticeship next summer?
If so, please let him or her know about the 2011 Science and
Engineering Apprenticeship (SEAP) Program.
Applications for SEAP must be submitted between now and
January 7, 2011. The eight week summer program begins June 20, 2011
and ends August 12, 2011.
SEAP is an Office of Naval Research (ONR) sponsored and
funded program. SEAP
gives highly motivated high school students the opportunity to be
exposed to Navy projects and programs. Participants receive hands-on
experience in the fields of engineering, science, and computers in a
research and development and test and evaluation environment.
Students experiment with a technical career and learn about other
types of careers that are available within Navy labs. The selected
students are placed in a wide variety of scientific and engineering
fields with mentors who are scientists, engineers, and technicians.
Our mentors work with high school students during the summer to give
them a first-hand understanding of professional methods to foster
their desire to pursue college-level training that will lead to
careers in science and engineering.
In order to be eligible for
the SEAP program students must be United States citizens, enrolled
in high school, have completed ninth grade, and be at least 16 years
of age by the beginning of the program.
Participating students will spend eight weeks during the
summer doing research or working on a specific technical project.
The stipend for students will be $3075 for the eight weeks,
which will be paid in two installments.
Returning students will receive $3590 for the eight weeks.
Interested students must
apply online at
http://www.asee.org/seap
by January 7, 2011. Additionally, student transcripts MUST be
mailed to: Science and Engineering Apprenticeship Program, 1818 N
Street, NW, Suite 600, Washington DC 20036."

HORNET LENDS SUPPORT TO CHILDHOOD
OBESITY PROGRAM.
We received this note from Kim
Carrington:
"Hi Henry:

project
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL44S-AzxHM.
We
can use assistance with the project if others are interested.
Thanks, Kim"
5.
MEMORIES OF THE MARLOW HEIGHTS
SHOPPING CENTER.
We received this blast from the past
from Susan Loweth Melton(63):
"
For those of us who went to Marlow Heights
Shopping Center, this is a walk down memory lane! This was
sent to me from my cousin, Bill Richards (72).
www.marlowheights60sand70s.com.
Susan"
[Ed Notes:
I'm guessing that students from many
eras congregated at the Hot Shoppes Junior on those glorious
afternoons after Hornet football victories.
And I imagine a number of Hornets
shopped at the Hobby Shop whose proprietor then was the current
Minority Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives!]

for 2010, and now includes fascinating "what I'm up to" paragraphs
from those who submitted directory information.

Directory, send a $20 check payable to the Foundation to:
Henry Smith, One W. Pennsylvania Avenue,

9.
"SURRATTSVILLE ALUMNI" WINDOW
STICKERS AVAILABLE.
Pat
Becker Oles (71) also kindly handles the Foundation's "Surrattsville
Alumni" window stickers project.
Pat notes that the stickers are
not the
"static cling type," that stick to the inside of a window.
Instead, they are the "stick to the outside type," that can stick on
a window or bumper, and use "repositional adhesive" (meaning no
sticky residue).
Information about purchasing the
stickers can be found on the web site at surrattsville.org.
10.
