WEST COAST NEWS
June 13, 2007
I have some
great news to share
with the family. My daughter Fallon (my youngest daughter who will be
14 in
October)) has been honored nationally by her honor's instructor as an All
American Scholar Award Winner. Teachers throughout the
nation make the
honor. Fallon is a member of a select group of students who excel
in
all academic areas (she has been in the gifted program
since the 3rd
grade, now going to the 8th grade). Even more importantly she qualifies
as a
candidate who can apply for one of 254 scholarship grants of up to
$10,000
awarded each year by the nonprofit USAA (United States Achievement
Academy)
Scholarship Foundation (this was all taken from the letter she rec'd
from the
founder). All students in grades 6-12 may apply for scholarships and
the year
in school (grade level) is not a determining factor. We incur no
financial
obligation of any kind in accepting the award. We have reserved our
personal
copy of the All American Scholar Awards Yearbook featuring Fallon's
accomplishments. Fallon wants to be a physician in Pediatrics. I am so
very
proud of her. We really have some bright folks in our family!!!
Also, Auntie
Samantha asked me
to send you an email with a few highlights. Her eldest grandson Marcel
Carter,
graduated with honors from Southwest College in Los Angeles. He applied
for and
has accepted employment with the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration)
in
Tucson, AZ with a report date of July 2007. He is expecting his first
child
early in the fall.........Auntie Sam's 1st great grandchild, Lydia
Ruth's 1st
grandchild. Auntie
Samantha's granddaughter Simone Lemelle graduated with honors
(Valedictorian) from St. Mary's Catholic Academy and received
an academic
scholarship (full ride) to Cal-Poly Pomona. This is Auntie Sam's eldest
daughter Freda Joyce's only child. Tracye

HEART WARMING MESSAGE FROM
MICHAEL JOHNSON
February 28, 2007
Hi Ted, Just wanted to share our story and our sincerity for the
Katrina victims.
Michael Johnson
Project Katrina at Pensacola High
Phuong Thach, a senior in the International Baccalaureate Program at
Pensacola High School, created a service project titled 'Project
Katrina" to assist in the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
This
service project has evolved into a school-wide effort over the past two
years and consists of 25 members, and is sponsored by Jan Sales, a
teacher in the Mathematics Department of the IB Program.
Project Katrina has created and participated in various
activities. In the past, the students have traveled to
Biloxi,
Mississippi twice and have worked at the principal disaster relief
distribution center and at the Salvation Army warehouse. In
the
case of the distribution center, it could not have opened without the
assistance of the Project Katrina members on that particular Saturday
due to the overwhelming abundance of relief needed. The
students
assisted with cleaning up debris, packing boxes, gift wrapping,
babysitting, distributing supplies, and interacting with Mississippi
citizens that were affected by the hurricane.
Project Katrina went to Pass Christian, Mississippi on February 23,
2007 to present a $1,000 check to Pass Christian Elementary
School. The money was raised by the Project Katrina members
over
the past two years through various fund-raising activities including
selling Magnolia pins that the students hand-crafted themselves.
The students also worked with the elementary school students to
beautify their campus by cleaning up and gardening.
Currently,
Pass Christian Elementary and Middle Schools are both located on the
grounds of DeLisle Elementary School in order to share the
cafeteria. Both Pass Christian Elementary and Middle School
are
operating completely out of portables built off the ground with
boardwalks connecting them together.
Project Katrina has also contributed to their local Pensacola community
through various activities. The students have held clothing
and
blanket drives in association with the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society
and the Toy for Tots drive with the Marine Corps Reserves.
The
members have also worked with Habitat for Humanity in several
projects.
For more information contact Jan Sales, Pensacola High School, 595-1500.
