Muir School 4431 Mt. Herbert Avenue San Diego, California 92117

Dear Senior Committee,

This year is my first year in ASB. I am the Commissioner of Academics which means I help encourage students at Muir to raise their academic grades. I enjoy working with different people and promoting good grades. Along with academic grades, I believe citizenship grades are also very important. I plan to encourage students to raise their citizenship grades by creating a rubric for citizenship grades, for both secondary students and teachers. I also plan to put on parties that honor students who do well with their citizenship grades.

John Muir School molds their students into becoming 'Global Citizens.' In order to become a Global Citizen, we, as students, need to respect, encourage, and support others along with be responsible students. To help promote all of the above, I plan on rewarding students for their impeccable work by putting on parties, like Smarty Parties, for 'E' and 'G' students. In order for everyone to know what an 'E/G' student is, I will create a citizenship rubric for the secondary students and teachers. I am not sure of my mentor at this time. The audience will be the secondary students and teachers.

Our school mascot is a turtle, like The Turtle With The World On His Back. I will do research on this legend to help incorporate our mascot with the citizenship rubric and, possibly, the parties. I will also research other schools' citizenship rubrics and how they congratulate their students and promote good citizenship grades.

Sincerely,

Katie Timmons
