Riverdale High School Musical Opens Thursday, January 30th - Limited Engagement - 4 Shows Only - Don't Miss It!
Click here to buy your tickets.
Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critic’s Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards, and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is an earnest tale of love, greed, and revolution. The show is set in a town plagued by a 20-year drought, where water has become so scarce that private toilets have become unthinkable. At the mercy of a single dominating corporation who maintains a monopoly on the town’s public amenities, the destitute citizens must pay towering taxes and fines to carry out their most private and basic of needs. Out of the mass of the pitiable, a hero rises to lead his fellow citizens against the tyrannical regime. Drawing from West Side Story, Chicago, and Les Misérables among others, the show irreverently pays witty homage to the great American musical theatre tradition. Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective of one of America’s greatest art forms.

Riverdale Sweeps CH2M-Hill/OSU Bridge Building Competition -- Taking Top 22 spots - February 22, 2014
Riverdale Sweeps CH2M-Hill/OSU Bridge Building Competition -- Taking Top 22 spots - February 22, 2014
For the tenth year in a row, Riverdale High School students claimed the top team prize at the 45th Annual CH2M-Hill/Oregon State University (OSU) College of Engineering model bridge contest. Riverdale students Cole Bemis and Kate Hollingshead (pictured above with their physics teacher, Mark Wechter) won first and second spots respectively enabling them to travel to Chicago, Illinois Saturday, May 10th to vie for international honors.
The contest requires students to apply specific, changing physics principles to a real-life construction project. Model bridges are constructed of basswood according to strict size, height and weight specifications and are tested to failure. Winners are those whose bridges have the highest efficiency rating. This year, Riverdale students took the top 22 spots.
Other top ten finishers for Riverdale (listed in attachment), #3 Shayna Pauleen, #4 Tal Volk, #5 Tyler Puterbaugh, #6 Rachel Berne, #7 Ben Lorimore, #8 Hadley Kohnstamm, #9 Matous Komers, #10 Mallanie Tellinghusen.
The object of this contest is to see who can design, construct and test the most efficient bridge within the specifications. Model bridges are intended to be simplified versions of real-world bridges, which are designed to accept a load in any position and permit the load to travel across the entire bridge.
The competition pitted high school students from across the state against each other to see who could make the most efficient balsa wood bridge. Efficiency was determined by dividing the total weight that the bridge held by the weight of the bridge.
The contest is intended to promote interest in engineering and provides an opportunity for high school teachers to introduce the concepts of design and testing of engineering structures to their students. The contest is “staffed” by professional engineers from CH2M-Hill and students from OSU’s Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering, many of whom are members of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) student chapter.

RHS's Collin Styring speaker - TEDxYouth Inspired by his service work for the Oregon Food Bank and solar energy installations near the family farm, eighteen year-old Collin Styring founded Green Food Nation. This 501(c)(3) installs renewable energy devices on food banks so more money can be spent feeding those in need. He raised funds to build a proof of concept installation at the Yamhill County Action Project. Today, each kilowatt on the meter buys two meals for hungry people. |
RHS's Oscar Tzintzun speaker - TEDxYouth Born in Michoacan, Mexico, Oscar immigrated to the US at age four. He initially struggled to integrate himself into American culture. While this did not stop him from being a happy child, he searched for his voice and found it with Momentum Alliance. There, he collaborated with like-minded peers to empower himself and other youth to become social activists. Today, he plays an active role in the organization and advocates for immigrant rights as well as reproductive and minority justice. |

In November 2012, Lincoln High School selected a delegation of students, including Marty Berger, Kendra Hong and McKinley Rodriguez, to visit Doha, Qatar, as part of a trip courtesy of Qatar Foundation International (QFI). While there, the students attended TEDxYouth@Doha. After their initial exposure to a TEDxYouth event, Marty, Kendra, and McKinley considered hosting one at home. They applied for a grant from QFI and were fortunate enough to receive it.
Early in 2014, TEDxPortland took the students under its wing, offering mentorship and resources. It was then that TEDxYouth@Portland formed fully. As they searched for speakers, they encountered youth who have flourished in their communities through education, evolution, and growth. That’s why the TEDxYouth@Portland theme for 2014 is “Limitless,” as inspired by the speakers
The speakers include Theodore Ashford, Kirsten Calverley, Sierra Hosea, Jacob Johnson, Brenda Ramirez, Collin Styring, Bella Trent, Oscar Tzintzun and Lizzy Zhao. Performers are Leila Hawana, Roopa Ramanujam, and the Rose City Quintet.
