Southwest BLAST Partner Avenues for Homeless Youths
BLAST (Being Loving and Sharing Together) Days: Month of December
Sponsored by Southwest Student Council
AVENUES for Homeless Youth: Helping Homeless Youth Move from SURVIVING TO THRIVING
Since 1994, Avenues has been helping homeless youth. Over 4,000 youth are homeless and on their own every night in MN. Avenues operates six programs in the Twin Cities that support more than 300 youth every year with shelter, transitional housing, jobs, education, and other services. Avenues’ has a committed and caring staff and volunteers to support the youth 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Each youth works with a team of case managers, mental health therapists, nurses, education specialists, youth counselors and community partners. Avenues, also, sponsors host home programs which match youth to live with host families in their homes throughout Mpls and the suburbs.
We can help support Avenues through financial support and the donation of supplies. Donations can be brought to Southwest or given to your student to bring to SW. Please see a wish list of supplies and further information on Avenues webpage: http://avenuesforyouth.org/
Robtics Move on to State
Dr Smith,
I thought you might be interested that the "Rubies", a FIRST Tech Challenge Robotics team consisting of six 9th and 10th grade Southwest students, had a tremendous showing at a qualifying tournament in Eden Prairie this past Saturday.
The team's robot went undefeated in preliminary rounds, giving them the opportunity to lead an alliance into the playoffs. Their alliance then defeated all comers in the playoffs to become tournament champions.
The Rubies also won the first place "Inspire" award, given to the top overall team based on outreach, design, build, their engineering notebook, and judging interviews. It's rare for the same team to win both the Inspire and robot rounds.
Based on this result they'll compete at the State tournament in February (after another preliminary tournament in North Branch in January).
The Rubies consist of 10th graders Izzy Mack, Ava Kian, Isabella Kemling, Adelaide Fanner and 9th graders Rachel Springer and Mitra Kian.
For photos or to see what they've been up to check out their Twitter feed, https://twitter.com/ftc_rubies.
Thanks,
Colin

Coming into the meet the team was
sitting at 18th place with 37.5 points based on seed times from the sectional

and 96 points.
In the process many school records along with multiple
MPS All-Time records were broken. The 200 Medley Relay (Amelia Baxley 11th,
Maya Knutson 12th, Peyton D'Emanuele 9th, Elle Niebuhr 9th) broke the all-time
MPS record with a time of 1:47.73 coming in at 7th place earning all state
honors.
In the 50 freestyle Peyton D'Emanuele went 23.99 for a new all-time MPS

These girls and their teammates worked extremely hard
throughout the year while focused on their schoolwork as well. The section team
GPA was 3.70, academic silver standard as denoted by the coaches association.
While our season is complete and we will dearly miss our
seniors, we are very excited to see what next season brings. The team is really
a positive example of what goes right in high school athletics for the
Minneapolis Public Schools.

using a quality lock is the best prevention, a good way to help recover a
stolen bike and prosecute the thieves is to register the bike.
Bicycle registration can be done in 2 ways in the City of Minneapolis

bike owner can call 311 with your contact information, bicycle serial number
(located on bottom of crank shaft or on the fork supporting the handle bars),
and other basic information.
You only need to register once
unless you need to update contact information or bicycle details or
