IDA B WELLS ARTS IMMERSION
Timeline Dec 2021-June 2022
The Ida B Wells Arts Immersion is a pilot project for all 9th grade students in partnership with IBWB HS. All funding is administered through Viva La Free. Your generous donations are tax deductible. Please note "IBW", "Ida B Wells-Barnett" on your donation. https://1.shortstack.com/lCFrjQ
Over the last year, Viva La Free has been working directly with Principal Filip Hristic & Lead organizer, Megan Jackson, 9th Success Team Lead, Instructional Specialist, AVID Coordinator AVID Center, Western Division Consultant. Viva La Free project team is currently working with 9th grade teachers. Have had 4 on site meetings, numerous zooms and will be onsite Friday, November, 19th.
Viva La Free’s innovative, collaborative student-centric models provide students with the opportunity to connect and engage the curriculum and each other through multidisciplinary expressive arts. Arts Immersion offers valuable connections for 9th grade students who have not been physically, or socially in school since 7th grade. Our students have needs that a trauma-informed arts approach is particularly suited for.
Viva La Free will be working with the entire 9th grade class; split into 4 pods, each pod consists of approx 80-140 students with 3-5 teachers to each pod; English, History, & Science. We are also engaging upperclass students who were active in the name change and transformation and student clubs: No Place for Hate/ADL, Black Student Union + in the collaborative arts immersion. Our multimedia, multidisciplinary project installation will be produced for mobility and preservation. To be stored during renovation, and reinstalled after. Together we are customizing Viva La Free’s innovative models to immerse students in the creative exploration of the Ida B Wells curriculum through expressive arts, collaborative design, and hands on production.

GRAD KATEY SCHULTZ '97 RECEIVES MULTIPLE BOOK AWARDS, STILL COME HOME
Check out her book, Still Come Home, at: https://kateyschultz.com/still-come-home/.
Set in both Western North Carolina and Afghanistan, the three characters in Katey Schultz’s novel are each searching for the best way to be, the best way to live—all the while fighting cultural, societal, and political forces far beyond their control. As their paths intersect over the span of three days, Still Come Home explores how their decisions will forever alter each other’s lives.
The North Carolina Literary and Historical Association has named Katey Schultz’s Still Come Home the winner of the 2020 Sir Walter Raleigh Award for Fiction. This prestigious award is presented in recognition of the most significant work of original fiction published in the past year by a North Carolina author. Past recipients include Lee Zacharias, Wiley Cash, Lee Smith, Ron Rash, Kaye Gibbons, Reynolds Price, Charles Frazier, and Clyde Edgerton. This is one of five wins for Still Come Home, which also won the Silver Medal from the Military Writers Society of America, a Bronze Medal from the Foreword INDIES, and was named a finalist by the National Indie Excellence Awards. This week Schultz and Still Come Home were also awarded the 2020 Book of the Year Award from the Chicago Writers Association in the Indie Fiction category.
“Schultz's ability to enter into these radically different lives is nothing short of breathtaking. There is tragedy here, but also humor, moral blindness, along with deep courage. And the desert holds it all.”
—Abigail DeWitt, author of News of Our Loved Ones
“An acutely perceptive novel about survival and conscience in war. [Schultz’s] three main protagonists—a young Afghan woman, an unwilling Taliban peon, and a US soldier—are all struggling in their own ways to find a path through chaos and tragedy while retaining their humanity. The result is a deeply engaging novel about the moral quest of all human hearts: how to do right in a world full of wrong.”
—Helen Benedict, Columbia University Journalism School professor, author of Wolf Season
“Still Come Home personalizes the perpetual and distant war in Afghanistan in ways that are as rare as they are remarkable. Through stunning prose and gripping pace, Schultz weaves together the stories of the everyday people of this war, humanizing their perspectives and the stark choices they face … an important work for those who wish to better understand our nation’s longest war.”
—Caleb Cage, veteran, author of Desert Mementos
“[Schultz] soaks her writing in such detail that even the smallest narrative observations evoke emotional weight.”
—Matt Peiken for NPR Regional Spotlight, Blue Ridge Public Radio
Katey Schultz is the author of Flashes of War, which the Daily Beast praised as an “ambitious and fearless” collection, and Still Come Home, a novel, both published by Loyola University Maryland. Honors for her work include the Linda Flowers Literary Award, Doris Betts Fiction Prize, Foreword INDIES Book of the Year for both titles, gold and silver medals from the Military Writers Society of America, five Pushcart nominations, a nomination to Best American Short Stories, National Indies Excellence Finalist recognition, and writing fellowships in eight states. She lives in Celo, North Carolina, and is the founder of Maximum Impact, a transformative mentoring service for creative writers that has been recognized by both CNBC and the What Works Network.

PIL HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE (WILSON) OF THE MONTH NOVEMBER 2021
Congratulations to Cathy Jamison-Imwalle ’67 (swimming)!
Source: Profile written by Steve Brandon (Cleveland, 1972)
First-grader Cathy Jamison’s (Wilson, 1967) first swim lesson, at the Jewish Community Center, a short walk from her school (St. Helen’s Hall, now Oregon Episcopal School) made such an impression on her that about 65 years later she still remembers it clearly. By the time Cathy Jamison finished her freshmen year at then- Wilson High, she competed swimming in the U.S. Olympic Trials and nearly made the team. As a freshman at Santa Clara University, Cathy did make the team and swam the 200-meter breaststroke for the U.S. in the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. Jamison-Imwalle, a 1967 Wilson grad, was inducted into the PIL Hall of Fame in 2004. She also went into the Santa Clara Hall of Fame in 1971, and in 2019 she was part of the first inaugural class of the Oregon Swimming Hall of Fame.

Congratulations to John Fought (golf)!

The PIL Hall of Fame added John Fought (Jackson, 1972) as a member in 2008. According to the PIL, Fought, who grew seven inches to 6 feet from his junior year of high school to freshman year at Brigham Young University (BYU), finished second by one shot as a junior in the 1971 state championship. In the second and final round at Glendoveer, Jesuit’s Rocky Chapman holed a 20-foot par par on the 15th hole and a 5-foot birdie putt on the 18th to claim the title by one stroke. Fought became an All-American at BYU, leading the Cougars to four Western Athletic Conference championships and 29 tourney titles, with a second-place finish to Oklahoma State in the 1976 NCAA tournament. In 1977, he was unbeatable, and captured the U.S. Amateur title. Then Fought not only made it to the PGA Tour, but he also was the 1979 Rookie of the Year, winning back-to-back events. Fought, whose family joined Tualatin Country Club, attended the relatively new Jackson High all four years.

PIL HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE (WILSON) OF THE MONTH NOVEMBER 2020
Congratulations to Jack Dunn (coach)!
Source: PIL HOF
Jack Dunn (’46 Lincoln) has remained active on several fronts. Now 91, the former Cleveland and Wilson High School and Portland State University baseball coach has written books, traveled the world and fished some favorite waters in recent years, while keeping tabs on a family that includes 10 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren (with one more on the way). Dunn and granddaughter/speech therapist Rebecca Dunn penned All Different, But the Same, a children’s book that tackles discrimination. “I’m proud of this book. It has a nice message,” Jack says. Dunn also is the author of two editions of From the Third Base Coach’s Box, an instruction manual of sorts for baseball coaches and players. “Wade Williams, my coach at Lincoln, told me ‘take what I give you, improve on it and pass it on,’ and that’s what I attempted to do in the book,” Dunn says.
