Hello Ravens,
Thanks for another great week!
A huge congratulations in the production of this year's show, Radium Girls, wowed audiences and showcased the amazing talent and dedication of our theatre students.
We’d also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our JROTC students and staff for their service and representation in the Veterans Day Parade last week. Your commitment and pride not only look good marching down the streets, but make us all proud to be a South Raven!
Don't forget the annual Raven Rally Fundraiser is tonight! This is a great opportunity to connect with our school community and help fundraise money for South! Check out the PTSA Corner below for more information!
Also, as we approach finals week, please review the calendar below.
Go Ravens!

Dear South Families,
DSF shared a great opportunity for families. This is open to ALL DPS families, even if you do not have a dedicated future center at your school. Please share with your communities.
In November, DSF will kick off Families Fuel Futures, a webinar series for 9th–11th grade families to learn how to support students in aligning their dreams with postsecondary goals. The attached flyers include registration links and they are listed below as well. There is no registration deadline but the sooner the better for students to sign up as we will make reminder phone calls for all registrants.
Registration:
Please reach out to Diana Madriz, Assistant Director of College Access, at dmadriz@denverscholarship.org with any questions.
