Muir School 4431 Mt. Herbert Ave. San Diego CA 92117 November 15, 2010

Dear Senior Advisory Committee:

After high school I would love to become a Registered Nurse. So, for my senior project I plan on making a brochure about what kinds of vaccinations students need to get in order to attend school. Some values that I have always had are helpfulness and knowledge. Helpfulness and knowledge can get you pretty far in life, especially if you can enhance a person’s well-being.

I will make all of this happen by volunteering at the local hospital and doing research of what kinds of vaccinations are necessary for school and why. I do not have a mentor yet, but a possible mentor I could obtain would be a doctor or nurse at the hospital. My audience would be the students of John Muir Magnet School and possibly their parents. I will also go to the local community center, schools, and recreation centers and give them some brochures for their own personal use.

This is not only for everyone else in the community; it is also for myself because I know that I hate getting shots and I always wonder why I have to get so many, so by doing my research and volunteering at the hospital I will understand why those shots are so important and how my life would be affected if we didn’t get them.

Sincerely,

Alexzandria Bahena

===****Comments and suggestions**** ===

Drennon: why are you sending a brochure bout which vaccinations kids need when the school already does this? and its common knowledge that kids are going to need vaccinations.

Mr Loessel: I give you thumbs up on your proposal, however, please consider the following:
 * Make sure you do the research on how to create a marketable brochure.
 * I recommend you talk to the School Nurse Ms Lendoff about your proposal and she may be interested in serving as a mentor or can recommend someone.
 * Volunteering at a hospital with not necessarily be the means for you to access information on vaccinations. Again talk to Ms Lendoff.

Anne: There was a recent article in the UT about parents in San Diego who prefer not to vaccinate their children. I hope you will investigate the statistics.I approve of this as a graduation project, and I hope you will make the brochure bilingual. I think many families are unsure about vaccinations.

Amber: I think your going some where with your idea, but shouldn't stop with the brochure, because this information is already given to students and parents.Needs to be more challenging, maybe having a knowledge quest about why its important a little history lesson. Or sense you want to be a nurse maybe you could have the blood bank come, anyone under 18 would need a premission slipt,but I think that would be cool.
