EAT, BE MERRY & GENERATE HOPE    …….BANQUET DINNER AND SILENT AUCTION

SHS STUDENTS RAISING  MONEY FOR GUATEMALAN ORPHANAGE THEY VISITED – OCTOBER 24

Groups of SHS students have been have been visiting the Hogar Santa Maria de Guadalupe Orphanage for the past several years.  The Hogar, as it is fondly known, is a home for 81 children or orphans coming from families that are too poor to support them or from homes of abuse and neglect.

Our experiences at the Hogar, and love for the orphans, inspired us to create the SHS Student Club “Solidarity Hogares” to raise money for the Hogar.  Last year, we raised over $3500 which helped with the base costs of education, food and clothes for the children.  This year we are hoping to pay for a generator for the orphanage.

Our major fundraiser this year will be GENERATING HOPE, which will be held on October 24th at Shorewood’s Hubbard Park Lodge.  We invite you to this event, which will include a

·         banquet dinner

·         silent auction

·         short presentation about our relationship to the orphanage

·         skype conversation with some of the kids (depending on the shaky internet connection at the Hogar)!

Please help us with this worthy cause.  You’ll have fun, and you’ll know you are helping 81 orphans in a tangible way.  If you cannot attend, please consider making a donation.  For more information, to rsvp, to see a photo of some of us and the orphans, and to make a donation, go to http://solidarityhogaresshorewood.eventbrite.com. Thank you for your time and generosity and we hope to see you at GENERATING HOPE!

The GENERATING HOPE event is open to both teens and adults.  All are welcome, whether your child has been part of a trip, is considering a trip or you just wants to support this great cause.  Come with a friend, a spouse, your teen, or by yourself… but come!

Come and Show your Alumni Spirit!

Come one, come all to the dedication of a world-famous sculpture by Jaume Plensa on September 21, 2010! From 6pm - 8pm, Plensa will unveil and speak about his sculpture "Spillover II" which will be a permanent work at Atwater Park at the end of Capitol Drive in Shorewood.

An anonymous donor presents Shorewood with this significant piece, which is to be the first of many public art pieces in Shorewood. Plensa is a well-known artist from Barcelona, who also created the Crown Fountain in Chicago's Millennium Park.  The Committee that chose the sculpture was given a host of works and this piece, Spillover II, seemed most appropriate for the site and for Shorewood. This soul-searching 8 foot high figure made from stainless steel letters will be graceful but allow for a view of the lake through the piece.  It will be mounted on a 2 foot concrete base surrounded by boxwoods, and the sculpture will be lit internally at night. The unveiling should be quite stunning as night falls and the figure begins to glow.

Come out from 6-8PM and Show Your Support - wear your alumni gear or red and grey and help welcome in this significant work of art!

Note from the President of the Alumni Association

Just a week on the heels of our SHS All Class Reunion came the news that a 15 year old boy named Adam Hernandez faced trial for an in-school theft that happened on March 30, 2010.  For some reason, the event escalated to a handcuffed arrest by the in-school police presence (a presence which is not uncommon in schools).   As of today, July 19, 2010, at noon, all charges have been dropped. 
The issue of in-house police at SHS and the informed follow-through on such cases this is becoming something that will warrant further discussion by the community, the school board, and the police department.  For now, please rest assured the charges have been dropped.  The Shorewood Police Dept has issued a public statement.

The story was covered in the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel on 7/20 - the rally did happen, and the discussion has now shifted to putting Shorewood on the forefront of the national discussion about police/high school disciplinary lines.
