Semester 1 Finals Schedule 

  • Exchange Student Support 
    • We are currently coordinating a Spanish exchange student who attends Thomas Jefferson High School and is in need of a new host family. She has previously been welcomed by a family in Congress Park; however, their agreement was only for the first two months. Additionally, the commute from Congress Park to TJ involves a long RTD ride for her.

We are specifically seeking a host family located in the Southeast area of Denver. If you know anyone in the community who might be interested in hosting a mature, independent, responsible, smart, and fun 16-year-old girl from the end of October until June 6th, we would greatly appreciate your assistance in reaching out to them. Her English proficiency is excellent, and she is very adaptable. It’s important to note that families do not need to have children of their own to be eligible to host her.

Contact Lauren Tauchman at lauren_tauchman@dpsk12.net or 630.272.5658 for more information! Let her know Carlos Vargas sent you.

Activities

PTSA
Mark your calendars!

The pre-game Stock-the-Cellar tailgate is today 10/25 at 5 PM at the picnic tables off Meadow Loop in Wash Park. Bring a snack to share and a $30+ bottle of wine or liquor to donate to the Raven Rally Auction and Fundraiser event. It’ll be a great opportunity to meet other South families before the big game!  

Also don’t forget to save 11/21 for the Raven Rally Auction and Fundraiser event at the Space Gallery – 400 Santa Fe Drive. It will NOT be at the Space Annex.  We have an aggressive goal to raise $100,000 for Denver South HS. Proceeds go to supporting South’s academics, enrichments, learning environment, technology, athletics, mental health, and more. Tickets can be purchased, and donations can be made through this link. https://south.bebids.me

And remember, if you can’t attend either event, we can still use your help.

·         You can make a monetary donation to the PTSA at https://south.bebids.me

·         If you have goods, services, or experiences you’d like to donate to our auction you can do so here https://south.bebids.me

·         If you are interested in getting great recognition for your local business as a sponsor of the Raven Rally please contact Erin Roecker at erinroecker@gmail.com for details. 

·         Lastly, the online auction will be open to all to bid on items the week of 11/18. More information on how to do that to come!

We can’t thank you enough for your generous support! It is you who help make this community strong.

Sincerely, the DSHS PTSA
