Hello Edgewood,

As you may know, the Edgewood debate team competed in the annual Middle School Public Debate Program (MSPDP) National Championship which took place on April 16th at Claremont McKenna College.  Representing the Eagles were 8th graders Nick Flores, Kieran Mital, Alison Ren, Francisco Buitron, Liam Murphy, and 7th grader Amanda Madden.

All teams present had to qualify for this event at the local level.  We are part of the Orange County Debate League, and we were lucky to send two teams.  We are proud of all of the schools in the OCDL (a Fairmont-created debate league):  Anaheim Hills was allowed three teams, while Pegasus (in its first year) was able to send one.

At this event, there were 59 teams (177 students) from all over the country.  Our debaters took on the best of the best and should be very proud of their accomplishments.   Please see the information below for specific awards and a "sunny" photo of the group.

Team Awards:
20th place: Anaheim Hills CTL
17th place: Anaheim Hills KWJ
15th place: Pegasus JFG
11th place: Edgewood MMF: Kieran Mital, Amanda Madden, Nick Flores
8th place: Anaheim Hills BCP

Speaker Awards:
34th place: Francisco Buitron

Our final debate is this Saturday April 30th - the OCDL Championship held at Fairmont Anaheim Hills. We hope to see you all there!

-Mr. Hughes, Debate Coach 

Come, Come, feel the spring breeze!

Spring is here with helpful bees;

The warm rays take away the sadness

And fill you with joy and happiness;

Flowers fill the air with a lively scent

A butterfly proudly sucks the nectar as meant;

Lush green meadows and beautiful skies

With a wonderful and exciting surprise;

Chirping birds sing a melodious song

Spring is now gone, but not for long!

On April 6th 2011, Edgewood's 16 top science fair students headed to the Orange County Fairgrounds to present their projects in the Orange County Science and Engineering Fair (OCSEF).  The OCSEF is an annual event organized to encourage the youth of our county to learn about science and to consider a career in science or engineering.  The competition involves presenting a scientific project completed by the student to a variety of board and special judges who are scientists, engineers, and educators in industry and schools in and around southern California.
Following the judging, students patiently awaited the awards ceremony the following Sunday, April 10th.  The results of this year's competition were another amazing success by Edgewood students!  Of the 16 Edgewood students presenting at the OCSEF, 9 qualified for the California State Science Fair in May.  What follows are the listing of the awards taken by our students at the OCSEF.

Kieran Mital won First Place in the Electricity and Electronics category.  He also won the SPIE the International Society for Optics & Photonics: First Place award.
Amanda Cohn won First Place in the Microbiology and Cell Biology category.  She also won a UCI School of Biological Sciences Award.
Meghana Khurana won First Place in the Product Testing category.
Nicholas Ida won First Place in the Environmental Science / Ecology category.
Alison Ren won Second Place in the Mathematics and Software category.
Christopher Toubia won Second Place in the Fluids/Aerodynamics/Thermodynamics category.  He also won a special U.S. Air Force Award.
Ethan Maahs won Second Place in the Applied Mechanics/Structures & Mechanisms/Manufacturing category.
Lam Nguyen won Second Place in the Electricity and Electronics category.
Parisa Baher won Third Place in the Applied Mechanics/Structures & Mechanisms/Manufacturing.  She also won a special OC Engineering Council Award.

Joseph Rutten won an Office of Naval Research Award award.

That's four 1st place awards, four 2nd place awards, one 3rd place awards, and five honorable mentions.  This was enough medals to ensure that Edgewood kept the trophy for Most Outstanding Junior High school at the OCSEF.  For the fourth year, that trophy sits proudly in the front office, where it will remain until the next OCSEF competition.  Congratulations Edgewood.
