SkillsUSA State Winners head to Nationals in June34 GOLD, SILVER AND BRONZE MEDALS!

Students from Sabin-Schellenberg Professional Technical Center earned rankings in multiple divisions during the SkillsUSA Oregon State competition in April, with 21 students earning first, second and third place recognitions at the statewide technical skills event. Thirteen Gold medal winners earned the right to compete at the National SkillsUSA contest in Louisville, Kentucky in June.

SkillsUSA is a national orga-nization that unites high school and college students together to test their knowledge of hands-on career and technical pro-grams and promote education in trade industries “These stu-dents represent some of the fin-est and most technically skilled students in Oregon”, said one high school advisor.

Nine of thirteen SSC first place winning students are planning to travel for the com-petition, and three incoming freshmen will join the High School team for this year’s com-petition.

At SkillsUSA competitions, each challenge varies by skill set. SSC students competed in a variety of categories includ-ing Welding Fabrication, Sheet-metal, Electronics Technology,

Criminal Justice, Cosmetology, Commercial Baking, Culinary Arts, Restaurant Service, Com-munity Action Project, Job Skills Demo and more.

Some students agreed that “at the state-level, the compe-tition is a little less fierce than at national’s...a different story.” Oregon’s SkillsUSA chapter is one of the smaller groups in the country, 50 students over-all competed in this year’s state event. At the national level, more than 6,000 students will compete in 100’s of different skills categories.

“National’s is surreal,” one qualifier stated who has pre-viously attended the national competition. “Oregon Skills USA is one of the smaller chap-ters so going and talking to oth-er chapters you start learning more of the involvement that students have and how much bigger this organization is than just in Oregon ... It’s just a whole other level.”

Students look forward to in-teracting with professionals in the technical trades. On the national level, SkillsUSA offers tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of scholarships for tech-nical college programs. And the National Leadership and Skills Conference is also a great way

to network and meet business leaders as well as learn about technical college programs from across the country. More than 16,000 students, teachers and business partners will at-tend the conference this year.

WELDING & WINNING TAKES WORKScholarship Winnersby Jared Robeson, Manufacturing & Engineering Qualifier

My name’s Jared Robeson, I’m a Senior at Clackamas Web Academy, and I’m in the Man-ufacturing and Engineering Qualifiers class. This is my third year in the program, I started in level one and two, and worked my way into the Quali-fier program. From the beginning I worked hard and learned everything I could. As a Level one student I won second in State for General Weld-ing through SkillsUSA, in level two, my team and I won Second in State for Fab Team, and this year my team and I took first in the State for Fab Team. Our team will be representing Oregon at the National level in Louisville at the SkillsUSA National Convention in June.

The path to success and greatness is hard work. In this program the importance of hard work, determination, and a clear goal is emphasized throughout the course. As a student I was always presented opportunities to grow and learn more if I so decided. Our program not only offers in class work, but also real world experiences through custom jobs taken on by the shop, and community service projects that we do. I’ve learned the importance of professionalism in the workplace, and industry. Having had the chance to meet and talk to industry professionals many times, I’ve gotten a better understanding as to how industry works, and where I see myself in it.

My journey started when I joined the Manufacturing class as a sophomore. I didn’t know a whole lot about welding, or even what it was, but I was interested because Man-ufacturing and Engineering was in the name. After my first year I learned that I much

preferred welding over machining, a personal preference. So as a level two student I took weld-ing again, and worked hard to learn as much as I could, and further develop the skills that I had started learning in level one. Having the ability to compete is a super awesome part of the experi-ence. Winning second in General Welding as a level one student was a huge motivator to strive and get better.

This year has been a year of growth and im-provement for me. As a senior class we have been

working on five different community service projects through a 25k grant we received from Lowes. The projects have been focused on sports facilities around Clackamas. It’s been a great experience, and an awesome way to leave our legacy. Because of the work we’re doing, students and athletes will have sports fields and facilities that actually work, and enable them to be their best.

Also this year my Fab Team and I have worked very hard to be the best general Fab-rication Team in Oregon, and we can now say we are. Since winning State we have the oppor-tunity to represent our program, our state, and our families at Nationals in Louisville Kentucky. This is a chance of a lifetime, and a reward hard earned. This experience is a culmination of all our hard work over the past few years, and we look forward to doing our best going forward.

The SSC Fire Science program is happy to announce that Ruben Gavrishov and Mike Leontyuk have both been accepted into firefighter internship programs with full paid college at Central Oregon Community college! Ruben will be working for Crook County Fire District and Mike will be working for Sisters Camp Sherman Fire District. Both of them will start their training academies in Central Oregon on June 18th - hardly any break after they graduate! They will both have their college tuition and books paid for up to three years in order to obtain their Fire Science and Paramedic degrees, they will receive free housing at the fire station, they’ll work as a firefighter on an assigned shift, and receive a monthly stipend to help offset any costs they incur during their internships.

These are great programs for students who are interested in becoming a firefighter, and even better to be accepted right out of high school. A big congratulations to Mike and Ruben, I know they’ll do well and love the experiences they’ll be having!

HEALTH SERVICESHealthy Happenins’

SCRUB CLUB -This May, Health Services Level 2 cele-

brated the ending of a great year in Scrub Club. Our guest speakers from the commu-nity who donated their evenings to speak to our students ranged from plastic surgeons to surgical techs. We also had three nurses who graduated from the SSC Health Ser-vices Program, an army xray technician, physical therapist, occupational therapist,

where students can work on the multiple skills that they learn in this class including taping and wrapping injured areas, CPR and first aid skills, and rehabilitation meth-ods. Students also learn how to cast and were challenged with a forearm/thumb cast this year!

KAISER LEARNING CREW -Throughout the 2016-17 school year a

group of students from the Health Sciences Level 1 classes met the first Tuesday of each month at Kaiser Sunnyside Hospital to par-ticipate in a club called the Kaiser Learning Crew. The hospital team that coordinates the event provides dinner, snacks and the opportunity for students to meet and in-teract with professionals from many differ-ent career path areas. Students were able to participate in hands-on learning ranging from instruction on casting, suturing, par-ticipating in a mock code using a high tech simulator, as well as touring the Diagnos-tic Imaging Department, Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy Departments, the Biomedical Technology Department and the Operating Rooms in the Sunnyside Ambulatory Surgery Center. Students were able to explore many areas of healthcare requiring on the job training to doctorate degrees.

SURVEY OF HEALTH SCIENCES - Sec-ond semester continues with 9th and 10th grade students learning body systems. The highlight of the nervous system was com-pleting a dissection of a lamb brain. Stu-dents successfully completed the dissection using information learned in the nervous system unit. Students were able to identify sections of the brain and understand the functions of each section. Proper dissection techniques and professional behaviors were displayed. In the cardiovascular system unit students learned functions of the system, components of blood, organs and struc-tures, and the pathway of blood through the heart and circulatory system. At the end of the dissection unit teams dissected a pig heart, charted the pathway of blood, and noted all chambers, valves and major veins and arteries returning and exiting blood to the heart. The rest of the year includes units on the respiratory system, vital signs, diges-tive and urinary systems. All in all a year well spent in the Survey of Health Sciences class!

and a pharmacist! Each guest shared their individual path of how they got to their dream careers and any words of wisdom they could offer. We are so thankful for these generous guest speakers who inspire our students with their experiences!

Hi there, my name is Lindsay Nicholson, but I was Lindsay Bluemmel when I attended Sabin-Schellen-berg Professional Technical Center a few years ago. I graduated from Milwaukie High School in 2005 after I spent two years in the SSC Law Enforcement program. Presently I am working at Clackamas County 911 as an Emergency Dispatcher. I have worked here since February of 2007 and I love what I do! We handle emergency and non-emergency calls and dispatch local Police/Fire/EMS (emergen-cy medical services). I recently was promoted as the Training & Quality Assurance Coordinator and I

now oversee the entire training division. I am also married to a police officer who also took the Law Enforcement Class at SSC and has been a police officer for over 15 years.SSC had a strong impact on my career choice. If it wasn’t for the Law Enforcement program at SSC I do not believe I would be as successful or even in the career field that I am in. While in high school I honestly had no idea what I wanted to do after I graduated...until my Junior year when on a whim I took Law Enforcement and found my passion for emergency services. And at just 19 years old I was hired on full time at the job I have now. I think that my exposure to the SSC Law Enforce-ment program was a great introduction to emergency services and different career fields in law enforcement like no other class I had taken before. The program defi-nitely helped prepare me for my current position!Students who come to SSC should take every opportunity to learn different skills and learn about different career fields, even if it is something that only slightly interests you. If you’re able to learn more about various careers, you never know when you’ll find the path for you. If I could give high school students just one piece of advice, it would be “ High school is tough no matter who you are or where you come from, be kind to everyone because you never know the difference you can make from simple acts of kindness.”I am reaching out to SSC students and sharing my experience because I feel it is im-portant. I owe SSC for where I am today and I hope I can help inspire other students to follow my path. I think the classes and programs offered at SSC are very unique, you get hands-on experience by professionals with dedication and commitment and that can impact your career as an adult. In the future I hope to help educate students about the 911 program and career opportunities as first responders.

GRAD STORYLaw Grad endorses SSC

Can you name the seven most common facial shapes or the four most common corrective eyeliner techniques? Did you know that the goal of makeup application is to give the face an oval appearance? Cosmetology 1 students know the answers to these questions and more. The Cosmetology 1 students have just completed their Facial and Makeup Unit, where students learned corrective make up techniques for all facial shapes and irregularities. The unit culminated in a Guest Day where students invite a guest and perform a full facial, then apply

makeup to their guest using all their newly learned corrective techniques.

Our next unit is hair-color where students will learn to properly apply a 1/2 inch grow-out, a virgin bleach, and highlight the hair using foil and bleach. This unit is always fun because the students have been eager all year to learn how to color hair properly. Students will use their mannequins to practice on using conditioner instead of hair-color. After much practicing, the students will then apply real hair-color and bleach to their mannequins and this results in a great learning experience.
