FRIDAY, MAY 15, 2015
Hello South
“It has been an emotional week with the passing of one of our seniors, Joseline Gonzales. She
was a smart, beautiful young lady who was well-liked by everyone who knew her. In talking with
her mother and father at the viewing and rosary service last evening, they shared their
appreciation for the support and comfort that our school community has provided.
1 / 55
Announcements
It is our concern for one another that helps us move through this difficult time. And yesterday,
that compassion and our welcoming community was quickly evident to 15 educators
who visited from Washington DC. When our guests met with staff, observed instruction,
and interacted with students during passing periods, they saw complete student
engagement in every room, visual and tactile supports for second language learners,
rigor and differentiation, high levels of student discussion and courtesy and respect for
one another. They noted that we are comfortable talking about diversity and that we do
not shy away from open, honest conversations
.” Dr. Waters
SENIOR PARENTS!
It’s hard to believe that the year is coming to a close and our Senior Class of 2015 is
ready (and able) to leave South High School!
In less than one week, they will be leaving us! We wish them the very best.

SENIOR PARENT QUOTE:
“This is my third, and last, daughter to attend South and it has been a great experience! None of
my girls went to our neighborhood elementary or middle schools; we choiced into other DPS
schools, for the Montessori and Expeditionary Learning programs. So South was a new
adventure for all of us! I have to say that I was happy with the entire South community from
beginning to end! And I’m glad that the school is getting the attention it deserves. Thanks for
everything!”

HOST FAMILIES NEEDED!
14 / 55
Announcements
Right now, ISE (International Student Exchange) is trying to find host families for 11
females and 20 males. The majority of them are 16 years old, with a few who are either 15 or
17.Countries of origin of our current students include: Spain, China, Brazil, Italy, Germany,
Finland, Colombia, Czech Republic, Thailand, and Vietnam.
We ask (via the legislation and the US Dept. of State who designates us) that families simply
provide a loving home with 3 square meals a day, a proper bed, a place to sleep, and inclusion
in the family responsibilities and activities. Students come fully insured and must have
$300/month of their own spending money. They are here for an entire academic year
(August-June) and I believe have only a few days after the last day of classes to remain in the
country. Colin Martin is happy to speak with anyone who wants to learn more about the
specifics of a student. We have their interests and religious affiliations, etc., so finding a good
match for both the student and family shouldn't be difficult. For further information or questions,
please contact Colin at the contact information listed below.

Appreciation Week with a quote from one of our teachers.

light up in wonder—not only because of the fascinating thing they just learned, but also
because they recognize in themselves an intelligence and curiosity that makes them
proud.” Jenn Rinaldi, South High
