scholarship award from the California Council for Adult Education. The award will be given at the CCAE
Spring Awards dinner on June 3, 2011 at Luminarias Restaurant in Monterey Park. Well done Ms. Ocampo.
MEMORIAL DAY
Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May. Formerly known as Decoration
Day, it commemorates U.S. soldiers who died while in military service. Begun as a ritual of remembrance and
reconciliation after the civil war, it was expanded after World War I to include all war dead. By the early 20th century,
Memorial Day developed into the present-day occasion of more general expressions of memory, as ordinary people
visit the graves of their deceased relatives, whether they served in the military or not. It has also become a long
weekend increasingly devoted to shopping, family get-togethers, fireworks, trips to the beach, and special events
such as the Indianapolis 500 auto race.
ASIAN-PACIFIC AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH
As athletes, politicians, architects, and scientists, Asian-Americans have not only changed the way we view America
—they've transformed the way we experience the world. This month, you have met ten of our country's most
accomplished Asian Americans.




                                         Yo-Yo Ma - A Magnificent Musician
One of the world's great musicians, Yo-Yo Ma began studying the cello at the age of four. As a toddler, he and his
parents moved from Paris, France, to New York. At age nine, Ma made his musical debut at the famed Carnegie Hall
in New York City. Since graduating from the Julliard School and Harvard University, Ma has played as a soloist with
orchestras around the world. Along the way, he has recorded 50 albums and collected more than a dozen Grammy
Awards. He is also dedicated to bringing music into the lives of young people through education programs and
family concerts. Ma plays two instruments—a 1733 Montagnana cello and a 1712 Davidoff Stradivarius.
Jerry Yang - Web Wizard
A native of Taiwan, Jerry Yang came to America at age 10, knowing a single English word—shoe. After arriving in Los
Angeles, Yang's family settled in San Jose, California. Although he admits to having had a short attention span in
school, Yang aced his studies and was accepted to one of the nation's top colleges—Stanford University. As a
graduate student at Stanford, Yang and classmate, David Filo, created the Yahoo! directory to help their pals hunt
down cool web sites. Today, Yahoo! is the world's most frequently visited Web site, with 237 million loyal surfers.
Yahoo's kid site, Yahooligans, is popular with young webmasters as well. When he's not tracking down web links,
Yang is hitting the links. He is an avid golfer and sumo-wrestling fan.




                                                Michelle Kwan- Perfection on Ice
For nearly a decade, Michelle Kwan had been skating circles around the competition. The California native bounced
back from a disappointing finish at the 2002 Winter Olympics to win 7 U.S. women's figure skating titles and 5 world
titles. Her career 37 perfect scores are the most of any skater in history. When competing, Kwan always wears a
Chinese good luck charm around her neck. The charm was a gift from her grandmother. Kwan began skating at age
five and won her first competition two years later.

GRADUATION MEETING AND REHEARSAL
The 6th and final meeting of Jefferson graduates will be held on Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 8pm in the Library at
Jefferson High School. Rehearsal for graduation speakers is Monday, June 13, 2011. Rehearsal for all graduates is
Tuesday, June 14, 2011. Both rehearsals will be at 6pm in the auditorium. All potential graduates must attend.

George Dawson-America's favorite poster child for literacy
 George Dawson became quite a celebrity; after learning to read at the age of 98. His life story, Life Is So Good, was
 published in 2000. Here is part of his story:
               Grandson of slaves, Dawson was born in a three-room log cabin on a farm near Marshall, Texas in 1898.
               He started work at 4. When he was 10, he saw a good friend lynched. When he was 12, he was sent to
               work on a nearby farm. He earned $1.15 or so a week and helped feed his parents and four younger
               brothers and sisters. He was not able to attend school.
               As a young adult, he traveled all over, sometimes riding the rails as a hobo. He visited Mexico and New
Orleans and went to Canada to see snow. He broke wild horses, built levees on the Mississippi, and shoveled dirt into
mule-drawn wagons. In 1928, he moved to Dallas where he worked on the railroad, did road crew work for the city,
and tended boilers at a dairy for 25 years. He married and had a family of his own. Dawson "helped" all seven of his
children with their homework every night. They never realized he couldn't read.
In 1996, a literacy volunteer knocked on Mr. Dawson's door and told him adult education courses were being taught
a few blocks away. He responded eagerly, "Wait, I'll get my coat."
Dawson: "My first day of school was January 4, 1996. I was ninety-eight years old and I'm still going....I'm up by five-
thirty to make my lunch, pack my books, and go over my schoolwork. Books was something missing from my life for
so long....I learned to read my ABC's in two days -- I was in a hurry....Now I am a man that can read." He signed his
name for the first time at age 98.
The Discovery Channel, The Oprah Winfrey Show, Nightline, People magazine and Good Morning America profiled his
life. Two universities awarded him honorary degrees. He collaborated with a Washington state schoolteacher to
write a book about his life, "Life Is So Good." (This is the cover of the French edition.)
The book's financial success let Mr. Dawson raze his dilapidated house and build a new one. Still, after all the travel
and the interviews and the awards, he settled back into his regular routine of attending adult school classes in social
studies, science and math, and cooking himself the "common food" to which he attributed his longevity: hot
chocolate and white bread for breakfast, barbecue and milk for lunch, catfish for dinner. George Dawson died July 5,
2001 at the age of 103. It was quite a ride.

EMPLOYEE ATTENDANCE POLICY
While the vast majority of employees have a strong commitment to their work and excellent attendance, it is also
clear that unnecessary absenteeism has a negative impact upon student achievement due to interruption of the
continuity of instruction, and results in reduced productivity, loss of service, and significant costs to the LAUSD.
Please do your best to:
    • In order to be paid for the holiday, you must work the day before and the day after.
    • Maintain regular attendance and avoid absenteeism.
    • Work your entire assignment.
    • Be on time.
    • Report all absences according to LAUSD Board rules and collective bargaining agreement.
CASAS
Evening ESL teachers; please prepare to post-test your students in class the week of May 31st. Satellite teachers;
please check your boxes for testing materials and instructions. We need to earn about 300 more benchmarks in
order to meet our year-end target. We can do it!
JCAS SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Please don’t miss your opportunity to donate to the JCAS Scholarship fund for this year. No donation is too small
and every donation will help a student. Make checks payable to JEFFERSON CAS FACULTY SCHOLARSHIP FUND.
THANK YOU. Yes, cash is always accepted as well.

                                            Thought for the Week
        Even when walking in the company of two other men, I am bound to be able to learn from them. The good
                       points of the one I copy; the bad points of the other I correct in myself.
                                                      ~ Confucius

  • 1. JEFFERSON EDUCATION AND CAREER CENTER LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT ~~ DIVISION OF ADULT AND CAREER EDUCATION BULLETIN Week of May 23, 2011 #38 Approved by Ann L. Reed, Principal CALENDAR PREVIEW May 30 Memorial Day Holiday- School Closed May 31-June 3 GED Testing June 3 CCAE Spring Awards Dinner June 5 Women Educators Installation and Scholarship Brunch June 15 JCAS Graduation CONGRATULATIONS Ms. Claudia Ocampo, Jefferson CAS high school graduate has been selected as a recipient of a $1,000 scholarship award from the California Council for Adult Education. The award will be given at the CCAE Spring Awards dinner on June 3, 2011 at Luminarias Restaurant in Monterey Park. Well done Ms. Ocampo. MEMORIAL DAY Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. soldiers who died while in military service. Begun as a ritual of remembrance and reconciliation after the civil war, it was expanded after World War I to include all war dead. By the early 20th century, Memorial Day developed into the present-day occasion of more general expressions of memory, as ordinary people visit the graves of their deceased relatives, whether they served in the military or not. It has also become a long weekend increasingly devoted to shopping, family get-togethers, fireworks, trips to the beach, and special events such as the Indianapolis 500 auto race. ASIAN-PACIFIC AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH As athletes, politicians, architects, and scientists, Asian-Americans have not only changed the way we view America —they've transformed the way we experience the world. This month, you have met ten of our country's most accomplished Asian Americans. Yo-Yo Ma - A Magnificent Musician One of the world's great musicians, Yo-Yo Ma began studying the cello at the age of four. As a toddler, he and his parents moved from Paris, France, to New York. At age nine, Ma made his musical debut at the famed Carnegie Hall in New York City. Since graduating from the Julliard School and Harvard University, Ma has played as a soloist with orchestras around the world. Along the way, he has recorded 50 albums and collected more than a dozen Grammy Awards. He is also dedicated to bringing music into the lives of young people through education programs and family concerts. Ma plays two instruments—a 1733 Montagnana cello and a 1712 Davidoff Stradivarius.
  • 2. Jerry Yang - Web Wizard A native of Taiwan, Jerry Yang came to America at age 10, knowing a single English word—shoe. After arriving in Los Angeles, Yang's family settled in San Jose, California. Although he admits to having had a short attention span in school, Yang aced his studies and was accepted to one of the nation's top colleges—Stanford University. As a graduate student at Stanford, Yang and classmate, David Filo, created the Yahoo! directory to help their pals hunt down cool web sites. Today, Yahoo! is the world's most frequently visited Web site, with 237 million loyal surfers. Yahoo's kid site, Yahooligans, is popular with young webmasters as well. When he's not tracking down web links, Yang is hitting the links. He is an avid golfer and sumo-wrestling fan. Michelle Kwan- Perfection on Ice For nearly a decade, Michelle Kwan had been skating circles around the competition. The California native bounced back from a disappointing finish at the 2002 Winter Olympics to win 7 U.S. women's figure skating titles and 5 world titles. Her career 37 perfect scores are the most of any skater in history. When competing, Kwan always wears a Chinese good luck charm around her neck. The charm was a gift from her grandmother. Kwan began skating at age five and won her first competition two years later. GRADUATION MEETING AND REHEARSAL The 6th and final meeting of Jefferson graduates will be held on Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 8pm in the Library at Jefferson High School. Rehearsal for graduation speakers is Monday, June 13, 2011. Rehearsal for all graduates is Tuesday, June 14, 2011. Both rehearsals will be at 6pm in the auditorium. All potential graduates must attend. George Dawson-America's favorite poster child for literacy George Dawson became quite a celebrity; after learning to read at the age of 98. His life story, Life Is So Good, was published in 2000. Here is part of his story: Grandson of slaves, Dawson was born in a three-room log cabin on a farm near Marshall, Texas in 1898. He started work at 4. When he was 10, he saw a good friend lynched. When he was 12, he was sent to work on a nearby farm. He earned $1.15 or so a week and helped feed his parents and four younger brothers and sisters. He was not able to attend school. As a young adult, he traveled all over, sometimes riding the rails as a hobo. He visited Mexico and New Orleans and went to Canada to see snow. He broke wild horses, built levees on the Mississippi, and shoveled dirt into mule-drawn wagons. In 1928, he moved to Dallas where he worked on the railroad, did road crew work for the city, and tended boilers at a dairy for 25 years. He married and had a family of his own. Dawson "helped" all seven of his children with their homework every night. They never realized he couldn't read. In 1996, a literacy volunteer knocked on Mr. Dawson's door and told him adult education courses were being taught a few blocks away. He responded eagerly, "Wait, I'll get my coat." Dawson: "My first day of school was January 4, 1996. I was ninety-eight years old and I'm still going....I'm up by five- thirty to make my lunch, pack my books, and go over my schoolwork. Books was something missing from my life for so long....I learned to read my ABC's in two days -- I was in a hurry....Now I am a man that can read." He signed his name for the first time at age 98. The Discovery Channel, The Oprah Winfrey Show, Nightline, People magazine and Good Morning America profiled his life. Two universities awarded him honorary degrees. He collaborated with a Washington state schoolteacher to write a book about his life, "Life Is So Good." (This is the cover of the French edition.) The book's financial success let Mr. Dawson raze his dilapidated house and build a new one. Still, after all the travel and the interviews and the awards, he settled back into his regular routine of attending adult school classes in social studies, science and math, and cooking himself the "common food" to which he attributed his longevity: hot chocolate and white bread for breakfast, barbecue and milk for lunch, catfish for dinner. George Dawson died July 5, 2001 at the age of 103. It was quite a ride.

George Dawson at a book signing for “Life Is So Good” EMPLOYEE ATTENDANCE POLICY While the vast majority of employees have a strong commitment to their work and excellent attendance, it is also clear that unnecessary absenteeism has a negative impact upon student achievement due to interruption of the continuity of instruction, and results in reduced productivity, loss of service, and significant costs to the LAUSD. Please do your best to: • In order to be paid for the holiday, you must work the day before and the day after. • Maintain regular attendance and avoid absenteeism. • Work your entire assignment. • Be on time. • Report all absences according to LAUSD Board rules and collective bargaining agreement. CASAS Evening ESL teachers; please prepare to post-test your students in class the week of May 31st. Satellite teachers; please check your boxes for testing materials and instructions. We need to earn about 300 more benchmarks in order to meet our year-end target. We can do it! JCAS SCHOLARSHIP FUND Please don’t miss your opportunity to donate to the JCAS Scholarship fund for this year. No donation is too small and every donation will help a student. Make checks payable to JEFFERSON CAS FACULTY SCHOLARSHIP FUND. THANK YOU. Yes, cash is always accepted as well.
