At the High Point Library:
Teens are invited to join poet Ann Teplick in a poetry-writing workshop that explores the themes of self-care and resilience.
In this poetry-writing workshop for teens, we will explore the themes of self-care and resilience. In a world where, in addition to our own personal challenges, we witness the struggles of those whom we love, and of those whom we haven’t had the good fortune to meet; in a world where overwhelm is often the wave that spins us to our outer limits—what brings us to solid ground?
In two workshops at the High Point and Delridge Branches, teens will read and be inspired to respond to the work of poets such as Li-Young Lee, Nikki Giovanni, Naomi Shihab Nye, Suheir Hammad, Rumi, Gretel Ehrlich, Ntozake Shange, David Wagoner, Francisco X. Alarcon, and more. The material for each workshop will be different. Please attend one or both! All participants are invited to read and celebrate their work on Sunday November 4th from 1:30-3:30 p.m. at the Highpoint Branch of the Seattle Public Library. Do join us!
Ann Teplick is a Seattle poet, playwright, prose writer, and teaching artist. She writes with youth at Seattle Children’s Hospital, through Writers in the Schools; Child Study Treatment Center, through Pongo Teen Writing; and at Coyote Central. She’s received support from Artist Trust, Seattle Office of Arts and Culture, 4Culture, and The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. Her writing has appeared in Raven Chronicles, Crab Creek Review, The Louisville Review, Drash, Spartan, Hunger Mountain, Jack Straw Writers’ Anthology, 4Culture’s Poetry on the Busses, and more. Her plays have been showcased in Washington, Oregon, and Nova Scotia. She is currently working on a young-adult novel in poems where resilience and self-care save the day in the face of tragedy.
Library events and programs are free and everyone is welcome. This workshop is intended for teens. Registration is not required for this writing class, but seating is limited. Seating will be on a first come, first seated basis. Doors to the meeting room will open 30 minutes prior to the start of the class. We’ll try our best to make room for all interested writers, but students may be turned away if the room is filled to capacity. Due to the fire code, we cannot exceed the maximum capacity for our rooms.
Please bring a pen/pencil and paper or fully-charged laptop to each class.

We’d like to invite the West Seattle Community to our Nov. 13th, PTSA General Meeting for a presentation on the state requirement for 24 credits for graduation. Presentation by Heidi Bennett, Wa. State Region 6, Legislative Representative.
NEW 24 CREDIT GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS & DECIPHERING HIGH SCHOOL – A guide for middle and high school parents
With the change to WA State 24-credit graduation requirements approaching, I’ve developed a presentation geared toward middle and high school parents to explain:
v New WA State 24-credit graduation requirements
v State and Federal testing High School requirements
v Deciphering acronyms – PPR, HSBP, AP, IB, CHIS, CTE, STEM, etc. – do you know what these are?
v Why and how to earn post-secondary credit (college or work credentials) in high school
For Shoreline and Seattle, the 24-credit graduation requirement starts with the class of 2021 (rising 10th graders) and beyond, as both districts have a 2-year waiver. Neither district has finalized plans for offering more credits beyond their current 6-period day/24 credit earning opportunities! YIKES
Come and learn more about this new requirement

Nature Crafting Skills Workshops for Women
Working with your own hands invites you to be still, within the present moment – for complete concentration to the work at hand. Holding your creation brings a connection to the Earth and the many traditional cultures who honored the plants, fibers, and animals of the land they lived with. Each class will cover the basics of traditional crafting to create a small ‘keepsake’ item of function and beauty. Participants will also take home the tools used in class for continued crafting beyond our time together. COST: $300, plus $125 materials fee for the entire series.
Dec 15 – CARVING, Jan 19 – BASKETRY, Feb 16 – LEATHER CRAFT, Mar 16 – WILDCRAFT (plant medicine)

Join us for Restorative Justice and Healing, our MLK Day of Service event in partnership with United Way of King County. Childcare and community dinner are provided.
In honoring Dr. King on this day of service, DNDA will engage Delridge and surrounding communities in constructive conversation about how race and justice influence each other in modern-day America. In examining what it means to have justice, this event will bring together neighbors of all ethnicities and races to bridge our differences and communicate through a restorative justice approach.
Utilizing the peacemaking circle, participants will engage in a non-hierarchical discussion and learn through the collective wisdom embedded in the stories and lived experiences of all participants.
This event will include a screening of the film Healing Justice, which explores the causes and consequences of the U.S. justice system and its effect on marginalized communities.
Local service-based organizations will be invited to participate and advocate for the resources they provide—including organizations like Hate Free Delridge and Young Women Empowered. Following the event, all participants and volunteers will be invited to continue discussing over a community dinner.

Our Lady of Guadalupe Immigrant Ministry is excited to host Professor Catherine Punsalan-Manlimos, PhD from the Institute for Catholic Thought and Culture at Seattle University on Thursday, February 28th at 7:00 p.m. in the School Hall.
Together, we will explore our collective memory with regards to our immigration history. Most of us in the U.S. today are either immigrants or the descendants of immigrants. With the exception of our Native American brothers and sisters and the descendants of enslaved free peoples from Africa, many of us or our forebears immigrated to this country seeking a better future and freedom from persecution, violence, or poverty. Reflecting on the history of U.S. immigration in light of Catholic Social Traditions can remind us why fighting for policies that honor the dignity of our migrant brothers and sisters is a matter of faith and a matter of justice.

Providence Mount St. Vincent and Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish to host ‘Letting it Go, Letting it Grow’ workshop
Join Providence Mount St. Vincent and Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish for a community event on Letting it Go – how to clarify values, get organized, clean and downsize. This March 9, 2019, event offers speakers who will help participants create vision and space for their whole lives. In addition to taking stock of one’s life, the New Year is also a wonderful time to assess one’s financial affairs and to plan for the future. Taking a cue from Marie Kondo and her popular Netflix show “Tidying Up,” this “Letting it Go, Letting it Grow” workshop will help participants clarify their priorities, purpose, personal mission and values – and to develop a thoughtful plan. Between 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. participants will hear from Donna Oiland of Radiant Joy Ministries, participate in a program and interactive workshop with Rebecca Crichton of NW Center for Creative Aging, meet with exhibitors, and enjoy lunch.
A $10 donation is suggested for coffee, refreshments and lunch. Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish Walmesley Hall, 7000 35th Ave., SW, Seattle. RSVP and direct questions to Marion Kari at marionk@olgseattle.org or 206-935-0358 (w) or 206-786-2579 (cell).

Some questions the panel will address: -How do you decide which swims to take on? -What was your training schedule for the long swim? Is there an ideal amount of practice that should go into doing a 5k, a 10k, or longer? -How do you balance training with life? -How do you deal with fear in the open water? -What do you eat on long swims? Go to the bathroom? -How do you overcome negative thinking? -How do you recover?
When: Thursday, March 21st, 6:00-8:00 pm
Where: Price Waterhouse Cooper Café, 1420 5th Ave, Seattle
Featuring: • Stephanie Zimmerman (transitioned from swimming 1 mile to 10k in one year) • Heidi Skyrzypek (completed a relay across the English Channel) • Rose Filer (completed the 10.4 mile Amy Hiland Swim: Bremerton to the Alki Lighthouse)

West Seattle High School welcomes parents from the community.
Talking to your kid about tech and sexuality is hard! Words like “Media,” “Privacy,” “Safety,” “Porn,” and even “Sex” have different meanings than they did a generation ago.
Come learn from Jo Langford, MA, who has two decades of experience working with t/weens. She will be leading a discussion on how to connect with your child/ren in order to help them make informed decisions about and learn tools to deal with sexuality, growing up with technology, and relationships with confidence and seriousness–all while having fun along the way and doing as little harm to themselves and their peers as possible. This event will be held on March 27 at 7pm in the school Library. Please mark your calendar!

Through skill-building, nature-based reflection, and storytelling, you’ll deepen your understanding of yourself and learn how to live with the natural world, as part of it, rather than seeing the wilderness as just a challenge to survive.

What if we used improv comedy to strengthen our relationships and better communicate with our partners?
About this Event
The team behind the internationally touring sex positive comedy show, the Air Sex Championships, is partnering with local Seattle relationship coach Cora Boyd to develop a workshop that uses the fundamentals of improv comedy to open up communication around sex and relationships.
This workshop is for couples, singles, people in relationships of all formations…anyone who’s ready to get creative, feel empowered in their interpersonal lives, and, of course, treat sex with a big old dose of humor and levity. Though the subject matter may veer toward R-rated, the exercises and games keep it all light and ensure everyone is having fun and participating at their comfort level.
The brewery will be open, ready to serve at 1:30 if you need some liquid encouragement. The Air Sex Championships tour stop is later this same night at El Corazon’s Funhouse at 9:00p–tickets available here.
“An evening of adult beverages, tasty bites, music, and an Eastern Cape Market featuring student artwork.” 21+. Tickets available at ReachForSouthAfrica.org. The goal, as A Child Becomes Preschool works to open its second preschool in South Africa:
Help fund preschool in South Africa!
Our first school is up & running, and we’re fundraising now for our second school to open in January 2020. These newly built preschools in rural South Africa will work with our students at A Child Becomes in West Seattle creating an extremely personalized cross-cultural experience. Your donation is greatly appreciated and tax deductible.
Can’t make the event? Please consider supporting in the following ways:
– Donate goods and services for our silent auction
– Provide desserts for the event

Through skill-building, nature-based reflection, and storytelling, you’ll deepen your understanding of yourself and learn how to live with the natural world, as part of it, rather than seeing the wilderness as just a challenge to survive.

Anti-Hate Alaska Junction works to reduce hate in our neighborhood by providing Bystander Intervention Workshops.
The leader reviews brain science, including the reality of emotional responses, their effects on brain chemistry, and the resulting triggering of our fight/flight/freeze survival responses. Participants apply new knowledge and practice new skills by running scenarios of hate-based interactions with the goal of de-escalating the situations. Working as an aggressor, a target, or an intervening bystander, participants learn by doing, not by listening.
There will also be an opportunity to have an extra practice session on Sunday, June 2 at 2:00 pm.
The workshop is FREE, but donations are accepted. To register, email antihate3@gmail.com or just walk in. Visit our website at www.antihatealaskajunction.wordpress.com
This workshop will be the third of four scheduled to take place in 2019.

Join other high school and middle school parents for an interactive conversation with two adolescent development experts, Stephen Bogan and Yvonne-Monique Aviva, where we will discuss:
The complicated realities for teens on the legalization of cannabis and youths increasing access to highly potent “recreational” cannabis with the potency of cannabis increasing exponentially with some cannabis having a THC content as high as 90%. This increase impacts the developing brain and with short and long term negative effects; including complications for youth at risk for anxiety and depression. We will discuss how teens low perception of harm leads to the increasing use of the drug in adolescents, and the affects of early use on the developing brain which increases the possibility of developing an addiction to cannabis. We will also talk about why kids use, how to respond (as opposed to react) if you find out your teen has used cannabis, and what research tells us that parents can do to decrease the possibly of cannabis use.

2 West Seattle locations listed at end:
If you drive around Seattle this Saturday, you might notice some slightly unusual neighborhood gatherings—with whiteboards, radio equipment, folks in safety vests, and more. What’s going on? It’s the latest city-wide disaster drill carried out by Seattle’s Emergency Hubs and the Seattle Auxiliary Communications Service, and the participants are citizens from all walks of life, united by a mission to assist at a time of major need.
Saturday’s “Seattle’s Fault” exercise will bring together volunteers from two organizations whose missions align closely: Seattle Emergency Hubs, a grass- roots, neighborhood network of community members who foster hyper-local organizational and communication resources; and Seattle Auxiliary Communications Service (ACS), a volunteer organization of amateur (“ham”) radio experts operating under the auspices of the Seattle Office of Emergency Management.
The drill simulates conditions the day after a magnitude 6.7 earthquake along the Seattle Fault has caused extensive infrastructure damage. The damage from such a quake would likely include a failure of grid power and cellular service, making communications and emergency services a challenge. Because the Hubs are key gathering points for neighborhoods, communications between the Hubs, ACS, and the city’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) are critical. Much of the exercise will involve moving simulated messages around the city using field- deployed, off-grid communications.
The key goals of the exercise are:
• Activate multiple Emergency Hubs and Seattle ACS, emphasizing reliable, efficient, accurate message management and documentation. Exercise participants will use voice as well as data communications via radio, throughout the city. (Technical highlights include using office-style telephones and email systems, routed entirely over ham radio frequencies and running on battery or solar power.)
• Demonstrate, practice, and assess the ability to communicate up and down the various levels of the response structure, based on the Incident Command System (ICS), which spells out a hierarchical, yet flexible, means of managing emergency situations.
• Nurture strong working relationships among Emergency Communication Hub members and ACS members, through team problem solving and practice.Exercise Scenario
In an event such as the one this exercise portrays, the neighborhood Hubs would mobilize to assist with the immediate needs of residents, especially those who may need emergency services. The ACS would also have activated shortly after the scope of the outage was known, with sector sites around the city providing situation reports and helping coordinate emergency and logistical responses.“It’s really important for us to practice our plans” said Cindi Barker, Volunteer Coordinator for the Hubs. “We need know that our planning is going to help the community. It’s also a great way to meet people who are interested in the hubs and finding out how they can be better prepared.”
“Seattle’s Fault is the latest in a series of emergency exercises that helps our membership to continually hone their skills and upgrade, deploy, and test their equipment,” said David Wilma, Deputy Director of ACS. “With each successive exercise, we aim to sharpen our skills as well as our technical infrastructure, to ensure communications capabilities in a difficult situation.”

WEST SEATTLE HIGH SCHOOL ALL-SCHOOL REUNION
First off – please note that we’re shaking things up a bit this year! With accessibility issues of many of our honored guests, and a very small cast of volunteers managing this event, we’ve opted for a MUCH simpler approach than in years past. Instead of breaking out into classrooms, we are designating tables for each range of years in or around the Commons, and for some in the Library. Think very large open house vibe. As laid out in the program map, tables will be organized chronologically by year range, so most of you will be next to the table of classes in the range above or behind you. No more climbing stairs, hunting for elusive rooms, traversing a daunting length of hallways, and dashing between classrooms to find and greet friends and family from other years.
We thank you in advance for supporting this change! As always, we welcome suggestions for improvement (highly recommended to be accompanied by offers for help ;) ), in our effort to maximize community and rapport while minimizing effort for planners and guests alike.

This year the auction is going to be at The Brockey Center at South Seattle College on June 1st, 2019 at 6p. Admission to the auction is $40 per person and we hope you consider joining us.
Sanislo Elementary School is building a network of dedicated individuals from throughout our community whose support and passion helps increase the chances of success for our children. Last year at Sanislo while we had a goal of raising just $20,000, we ended up exceeding this goal by 50%. We raised $30,000 thanks to all of your donations to Sanislo! The school used this money to support: mindfulness/social emotional learning, a learning garden, and scholarships for after school enrichment programs.
This year our need is even greater. I interviewed key stakeholders including the Principal in order to determine what aspect of the school was in greatest need of support. One of the largest challenges the school is facing is the increasing age of the books and other instruction materials. Our children are struggling to experience the joy of learning and self discovery partially because the average age of their books is more than 10 years old! Our library has become out of touch with reality and the children are not as motivated to participate in self guided learning as children at other schools. Help us bring the joy of learning to our children.
Our annual auction is coming up soon! We hope you can join us once again in supporting educational equity. Come enjoy an evening of fun with us: dinner, dancing, drinks, silent auction, and dancing
