Bozeman High students find senior projects powerful – 6 to be presented at Museum of the Rockies on 1/15

For her senior class project, Bozeman High School student Nichole Chimbos did a lot more than a traditional research paper. She pursued her interest in eating disorders by interviewing psychologists, surveying 200 classmates, creating a website and making a small poster to raise awareness. Chimbos, 17, said she learned from her semester of research that most people with eating disorders don’t fit the stereotype of being so thin their bones become visible.

Hers was one of six senior class projects chosen by a vote of their classmates to be presented to the public next Wednesday at 6 p.m. in the Museum of the Rockies http://www.museumoftherockies.org .

All 60 projects will be presented to the public on Saturday, Jan. 18, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Berg Library, upstairs at the high school. English teacher Cale Van Velkinburgh said last year about 300 people attended.
