Blue Ridge Making Cranes For Relief The students of Blue Ridge School District are doing their part to help the victims of the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan. For the past two weeks, they have been folding dozens of origami cranes as part of relief efforts organized by Students Rebuild and Carter’s clothing company.
Pictured above, Luis Toban, Allyssa Johnson, Micah Mullen, and Kyra Powell from Miss Daniels' fourth grade class, holding the paper cranes they made to contribute to the relief efforts in Japan. Students Rebuild challenged young people to send in 100,000 cranes to trigger a $200,000 donation from the Bezos Family Foundation. The money will go to Architecture for Humanity's reconstruction efforts in Japan, and the cranes will be woven into an art installation. The 100,000 crane goal has been surpassed. In another project, Carter’s will be donating one article of clothing for every crane they receive. Carter’s will donate up to 50,000 articles of clothing, and will send the cranes to their stores in Japan to display the support of the children who made them. Blue Ridge’s participation in these efforts has been spearheaded by elementary librarian Janelle Tench, who got the idea from Do Something.org, which is one of the largest organizations in the U.S. that helps young people rock causes they care about. Tench says that the project has empowered students’ to recognize the need to do something, believe in their ability to get it done, and then realize that they can take action to make a difference in the world. Students in the high school gifted program have also been making cranes during their enrichment time. In total, Blue Ridge students have contributed 172 cranes to the relief efforts.
Kassandra Stepniak Receives Award AURORA , NY - The School for Field Studies (SFS) presented its bi-annual Distinguished Student Researcher Award to Wells College senior Kassandra Stepniak, a biological sciences major from Montrose, in recognition of exceptional environmental research she conducted while studying abroad during the spring semester of 2010 at The SFS Center for Rainforest Studies in North Queensland, Australia. Each year, The School for Field Studies honors exceptional students with Distinguished Student Researcher Awards for making important contributions in environmental research. SFS semester students engage in undergraduate research guided by SFS faculty on projects related to the Center's Five Year Research Plan (5YRP). Outcomes of these Directed Research (DR) projects provide information and recommendations to community members and other stakeholders on critical, local environmental issues. Students are nominated by SFS faculty based on their demonstrated sophistication in research design, field work, and reporting; their leadership skills and teamwork; and their contribution to the Center's 5YRP. SFS President Bonnie Clendenning and Dean Dr. Robin Sears presented the Award this spring with nominations from Stepniak's DR advisor Dr. Timothy Curran, associate professor in forest management at the Center. Stepniak's's research project, entitled "Does wood density affect the rate of wood decay?," found that wood density as a trait could predict decay rates of certain plant species in a relatively short period of time - a process which usually takes several years to complete. Her research is particularly timely in further understanding the carbon cycle in the midst of global warming. Dr. Curran says, "Kassandra's project shows how work at a local scale can contribute to solving global issues; hers is the vanguard of a suite of studies which aim to understand patterns of wood decay and hence global carbon cycles." "At the School for Field Studies, students engage in research projects that serve the local communities and address local environmental issues," says Wells College Professor of Environmental Studies Niamh O' Leary. "Kassie's research was not just for a class, it's is a great contribution to ongoing research activities in the rainforests of Australia."
