I have been doing research involving an area of our community that we think needs help. This project includes 10 hours of volunteer work in our community. After our volunteering work we are required to present our knowledge in a place that might help others be aware of the problems throughout the world. My project is on the Elderly.'s Welfare and how depression and other diseases may affect their life span and health. It would be great if we could schedule a time for me to present at one of your meetings. • I know you are a very busy people and have to take time out of your schedule to work with me. I really appreciate your consideration. 7 Sincerely, i' ii Kayla 4 hoonhoven SOAR 6th Grade 509- 697 -9571 I Distributed at .-.. . ,. -,- • Council Mee t ing_ w elf a re and dare of the Elderly in Nursin Faci • • B KayIa S choonhoven ..

N f^a -ten "`� N y ? -aA-i_ S � � . . � • 1 My name is 'Kayla Schoonhoven and I am a 6 grade participant of an advanced program in the Selah School District called . SOAR. This program consists of a ten -hour community service project and presentation of my knowledge. I volunteered at the Living Care Nursing Care Facility in Yakima and have learned many things. Through my research I have learned that throughout the U.S. a lot of nursing homes are physically unfit or not proper for its residents. Working with our community's elderly at Living Care I have learned that this facility does not face these problems. I do believe our community needs more volunteers. There are a lot of activities for nursing home residents to do, but there is more to activities than just the games. Our community needs more volunteers. Elderly in Retirement or Nursing Homes love to talk to people, but there are not many volunteers at retirement homes. Some resident's families can't visit them, so they need someone that they can talk to other than the staff.. Our community needs volunteers more than we may think. To help our community people can volunteer in many ways. You can help by spending time with individual residents, helping with activities such as BINGO, exercise classes, or cooking classes. These are a few of the ways that I helped out in the Nursing Home. You can also contribute by helping to organize other activities like field trips, concerts, or religious gatherings. Thank you for your time and I hope that together, we can make our community better! Sincerely, • )( 1 1 • ' ss • Kayla Schoonhoven a ' S i b0 - ee� '� ry Distributed at ase unc i � ' � � C Council Meeting Subject: Math Here is a little something someone sent me that is indisputable mathematical logic. It also made me Laugh Out Loud. This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint... it goes like this: What Makes 100 %? What does it mean to give MORE than 100 %? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100 %? We have all been to those meetings where Someone wants you to give over 100 %. How about achieving 133 %? What makes up 100% In life? Heres a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions: If: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Is represented as: 1 234567891011 1213 1415 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26. Then: H- A- R- D- W -O -R -K 8 +1 +18 +4 +23 +15 +18 +11 = 98% and K- N- O- W- L- E -D -G -E 11 +14 +15 +23 +12 +5 +4 +7 +5 =96% But , A- T- T- I- T -U -D -E 1 +20 +20 +9 +20 +21 +4 +5 = 100% And, B- U- L- L- S -H -I -T 2 +21 +12 +12 +19 +8 +9 +20 = 103% AND, look how far ass kissing will take you. A- S- S- K- I- S- S -I -N -G 1 +19 +19 +11 +9 +19 +19 +9 +14 +7 =118% So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will Get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you Over the top. And remember if your like me (which your not) maybe? Then try this one it definitely take's longer but the air is fresher and I am I.
