PTSA Meeting – Next Week! **Wednesday, March 15th at 6:30pm**  South Career Center, Rm 114A

Stephanie Brazinsky and Elena Elder from the Counseling Department are our special guests for the meeting.  They will give us an overview of South’s academic counseling support followed by a Q & A.  Principal Rachel Goss will join us with an administrative update to include school safety.  We will vote for 2023-24 PTSA Board Members.  Here is the complete agenda for the meeting.  We hope you join us!

Ravens Gear School Store

The PTSA would like to officially launch a mobile School Store at South.  Selling Ravens gear is great for our school spirit, it helps continue to support the rebranding of South and it’s fun!  Running a school store is a bit like running a small business.  You have ordering, inventory management, pricing, marketing, sales, volunteer/”employee” management, operational process, and financials.  It is an amazing opportunity for high school students to see first-hand how to run a business!  They will then be able to share these experiences in college essays or job applications.  We have parent volunteers who will purchase merchandise, but for the store to be successful, we need more parent and student help (especially organizing and selling gear).  If any parent is interested, contact:  Danielle Vitale, PTSA President dvitale@adobe.com or ptsadenversouth@gmail.com 

Prom & After Prom UPDATE

The date for prom has been set…Saturday, May 6th from 8-11pm.  After Prom will be at Dave & Busters from 11pm-2am.  There will be food, games and lots of fun!
