I'm a School Project?

Hi Ms. Russo,
I am a high school biology teacher in Southern California. I heard your NPR interview the other day and was inspired to use it as a lesson with my students. I showed them the story, taught them about how vaccines and herd immunity work, and had them create a "message from Juniper Russo to parents who are fearful of vaccinating their children." I think it was very meaningful for them. Here is a sample of what they are working on (today!). Thanks for your courage to speak out. 

Best,
Faith Blake

You know-- it's strange. I have gotten emails and Tweets from some of my favorite celebrities and have been getting tons of media requests from national news outlets, but somehow, nothing has excited me quite as much as seeing that my story was having a real impact on the education of today's children. High school aged students are our future-- not just in some distant, abstract sense, but in a very real way that will affect us all in just a couple of years. If I've changed the minds of a single high school student, all this effort has been worth it. Thank you, Faith Blake, for honoring me by using my story as a way to educate and enlighten your students.
