Jeans for Teens

Orangewoood is collecting used jeans (youth or adult size) for homeless teens.  We will be collecting them from now until Feb. 6.  You can drop them off at the office or in Mrs. Olivarria's room. Many local churches are also involved so talk with your church leaders to see if they have a drop off box for Sabbath.

There will also be a "Jean Drive Thru" Wednesday (Feb. 1) and Thursday (Feb. 2) morning at OA for your convenience. Thank you for helping in this cause!

ORANGEWOOD ACADEMY STUDENT NAMED CARSON SCHOLAR

Tenth-grader Charidan Jackson receives a $1,000 scholarship and was recognized for her academic and humanitarian achievements.

SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA - Tenth-grade Orangewood Adventist Academy Student, Charidan Jackson, was honored at the West Coast Carson Scholars Fund Annual Awards Banquet that was held at the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana, CA on May 12, 2011.  Charidan was one of sixteen students from California to be selected as a Carson Scholar for 2010-2011 and was the first ever Carson Scholar selected from Orangewood Academy!  Orangewood Principal, Datha Tickner, also attended this event with Charidan and her family.
 
The Carson Scholars Fund is a non-profit organization founded in 1994 by Johns Hopkins pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Benjamin Carson and his wife, Candy. The Fund awards $1,000 college scholarships to students in grades 4-11 who excel academically and are dedicated to serving their communities.  Students then receive the honor of being named Carson Scholars and are awarded with an Olympic-sized medal and a trophy for their school to celebrate their accomplishments.
 
An interested student must be nominated by the principal at his or her school to be able to compete for a Carson Scholarship. Only one student from each school is able to apply, ensuring that each nominee epitomizes academic excellence. Carson Scholars must have a GPA of 3.75 and display humanitarian qualities through community service. Scholarships are awarded solely on the basis of academic achievement and humanitarian qualities, without regard to financial need or ethnicity.

Congratulations to Charidan Jackson!
