    PROM- URGENT

    Spring & Prom Time High Intensity AVOID DUI Crackdown

    Sobriety Checkpoints and DUI Saturation Patrols Planned


    San Diego, CA – Law enforcement throughout the county will be combining resources and sending out a unified message this Prom Season. If you drive drunk, we will be looking for you. If you’re over the limit, you will be arrested. If you are underage and drinking before you get behind the wheel be prepared to have your night cut short.

    The Avoid the 14 DUI task force will be staffing a DUI checkpoint in the City of San Diego this weekend and deploying additional DUI Saturation Patrols and checkpoints countywide targeting those who still don’t heed the message to designate a sober driver.

    All too often, members of our community are senselessly injured or killed on local roadways by impaired drivers. This DUI checkpoint is an effort to reduce those tragedies. A major component of these checkpoints is to increase awareness of the dangers of impaired driving and to encourage sober designated drivers.

    "DUI arrests can be embarrassing and expensive, but they're easy to prevent," said Officer McCullough. "If you're drinking, hand your keys over to a designated sober driver, or call a taxi or sober friend for a ride home. Don't risk an arrest ---or worse, a serious injury or even death."

    Along with the impaired drivers, Avoid members at these checkpoints and saturation patrols will be looking for other violations that will impact all motorists, as this is the time of year we see an increase in the number of young adults on the road to their High School Proms. If you are, or have a young person attending a Prom this year, don’t forget California’s zero tolerance laws and make sure they have a safe and sober prom.

    APPEALS-

    Tomorrow is our 1st appeals process. If you plan on attending PROM you must file an appeal by the end of today.

    Wednesday, May 5, 2010

    APPEALS!! Want to go to PROM???

    If you want to go to PROM and need to do an APPEAL, you MUST have your letter in to Mrs. Cordero by Monday, May 10th @ 3:00pm SHARP!!

    All Appeals that have been turned in to Mrs. Cordero by May 10th will be reviewed and considered for those who want to attend PROM. Please plan on being interviewed by a panel of staff members regarding your appeal letter on Tuesday, May 11th starting at 1:00pm. You will be scheduled a time (10 minutes) to meet with the panel.

    If you have ANY QUESTIONS, please see Mrs. Murphy in the office.

    Thank you

    Have you. . .

    Have you thanked a Teacher yet?

    Did you know that this week is Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week?

    Many of you have spent over 13 years in school (K-12) and are very eager to get started with the next chapter of your lives. Take a few moments to think of a teacher or teachers that have directly impacted your life. Now is the time to thank them!

    Many teachers work ABOVE and BEYOND the typical 7:30am- 2:30pm workday- for FREE! They do it because they care about YOU and want to see you succeed.
    Think of all the teachers that have stayed late after school to help you; arrived early in the morning to let you use a computer; or spent their ENTIRE Saturday to make sure you earned Saturday School credit.

    Write a note, draw a picture, or just tell them a simple Thank You! You'd be surprised at how much your kind words and appreciation will mean to them.

    MORE MONEY

    I have application for another $2500 Scholarship.

    Stop by the office. They are on the bookshelf next to my door.

    Good Luck.

    -
    Essay Contest – Win a $2,500 scholarship
    open to 11th and 12th graders in San Diego County
    Your essay should thoughtfully answer any one of the following questions:
    1) The state has frozen funding for social services for the poor, and San Diego County, unlike many other counties, has decided it’s not going to help bridge the gap. Do you agree with that decision? If so, what is your view on the level of social services the county should provide? If not, how should the county fund more social services?
    2) Should the city of San Diego recycle sewage to buttress our supply of drinking water? San Diego is facing a long-term water shortage. There are efforts to conserve water, build seawater desalination plants and invest billions to shore up other sources. But the city has been reluctant to use sewage because of concerns about cost and the perception of drinking purified wastewater. Should the city continue studying this new source and implement it or not?
    3) Was San Diego Unified School District right to not take part in the California application for Race to the Top? Race to the Top is a competition between states to get more federal stimulus money for schools by promising to do specific reforms that the Obama Administration wants, such as including student test scores as part of teachers' evaluations. San Diego Unified didn't participate in Race to the Top because it argued that it knew too little about what it would entail. Its elected leaders are also wary of some of the reforms.
    Official Rules:
    1) Essays must be original work, typed, 1,000 words or less and must be received on or before Friday, May 21, 2010.
    2) To enter, students must live in San Diego County, be enrolled in an accredited high school in San Diego County, and be in 11th or 12th grade.
    3) The student must write the essay and any quotations or copyrighted material must be identified properly.
    4) Scholarships can be used for any college, university, or trade school.
    5) Each student may only submit one essay.
    6) Essays will be judged on insightfulness, supporting facts and evidence, development of ideas and style.
    7) Submit your essay preferably via email to summer@voiceofsandiego.org. You will receive a confirmation of receipt within 24 hours. If you do not, contact the voice office at 619.325.0525. We will also accept essays by U.S. mail to voiceofsandiego.org Essay Contest, 2508 Historic Decatur Rd, Ste 120, San Diego, CA 92106.
    8) Please be sure to include your name, address, phone number, school you attend, and grade level (11th or 12th) in the email or, if mailing, on a cover sheet. Please do not have that information on your actual essay, as essays will be reviewed and judged without identifying information.
    Questions about the process of the essay contest should be sent to summer@voiceofsandiego.org. Questions or guidance about specific essays will not be answered. Winner will be notified by June 11, 2010 and the five finalist essays will be published on the voiceofsandiego.org website during the week of June 14th. Thank you for your participation.

    Oscar Jimenez Scholarship Application

    Gamma Zeta Alpha Latino Interest Fraternity Inc.

    Oscar Jimenez Scholarship Application

    San Diego State University; Zeta Chapter

    GZA History

    Gamma Zeta Alpha Fraternity, Inc. is a Latino interest fraternity which was founded in the fall of 1987 at California State University, Chico by fifteen young, diverse, and educated men that saw a need for an organization that would uphold brotherhood and facilitate their needs. Among those needs were the three principles that they shared in common. Those principles have become the foundation upon which this fraternity has grown upon: Academic Excellence, Community Service, and the promotion of the Latino Culture. Gamma Zeta Alpha was established for the purposes of uniting and directing all persons interested in promotion of the Latino culture and ethnic origins via community interaction and the educational system. Since then, chapters have been founded at San Jose State University, University of California at Berkeley, California State University at Northridge, California State University at Fresno, San Diego State University, University of California at Los Angeles, University of California at Davis, Stanford University, and University of California at Santa Barbara and more.

    Zeta Chapter History

    After experiencing the various degrees of fraternal organizations at San Diego State University, a group of dedicated men decided to gather other like-minded college students to address the reality and need of a different type of fraternity on our campus. As Latinos, we notice and value the comfort and support that can only come from strong family ties. Together, this group established the campus club “Raza Unida,” as the initial step to establishing a chapter of Gamma Zeta Alpha at SDSU.

    The founding fathers not only noticed, but w ere concerned about the lack of community involvement and unity among the Latino population at SDSU and San Diego in general. Gamma Zeta Alpha, with its core principals of Academics, Brotherhood, Community Service and Maintenance of the Latino Culture, proved to be the best organization to help us develop, explore and execute our ideas and beliefs.

    On May 31, 1997, they earned the privilege to establish and became the founding fathers of Gamma Zeta Alpha, Zeta Chapter, San Diego State University. Since then, our fraternity has established and maintained a level of professionalism and respect that is recognized throughout California. Whether we are encouraging each other towards graduation or supporting each other afterwards, all brothers of the Zeta Chapter are proud of what we started; and we will continue to be proud, thanks to the classes that will forever maintain, develop, and surpass our goals and achievements.

    Oscar A. Jimenez

    Oscar Jimenez was a Zeta Chapter Brother who lost his life on April 11, 2004 performing an act of heroism, while on active duty in Iraq. We have chosen to commemorate his life and the legacy he left us by offering scholarships to deserving students who exemplify the goals of our fraternity. The members of the Zeta Chapter at San Diego State University would like to encourage graduating under-represented minority high school seniors and community college transfer students to apply for this scholarship.
