P.L. Julian School Holds Kick Off Event
P.L. Julian School held an event in late April to kick off the sales of its “Bricks for Julian” fundraising project. It was a great opportunity for many of the Julian alumni to see and tour the new school for the first time. McCarthy Construction jump started the engraved brick sales by donating a $500.00 check for a brick. The engraved bricks will be placed as a feature at the school after all brick sales are completed.

Sierra Vista School partners with General Motors Engineers
For the 4th year in a row, Sierra Vista Elementary School is partnering with retired General Motors automotive engineers and aerospace students from ASU as part of the A World In Motion (AWIM) program. The engineers mentor students in a hands-on investigation through design and experimentation, and culminates in the creation of a small-scale moving vehicle. Mr. Atonna’s 5th graders are investigating “jet-powered” vehicles with the engineers.
The student teams demonstrated their inventions in a competition on May 17 at Sierra Vista. Students and staff at Sierra Vista wish to express their deepest gratitude to the volunteer engineers who are creating hopes and dreams for our young people.

Villages in Transition III (from the cover May 2011)
Posted by South Mountain Villager on May 1, 2011
“Villages in Transition III”
(By Annia Quiroz)
South Mountain Community College held the event “Villages in Transition III” on Friday, April 8 2011 to discuss issues like education, public safety and development in the community. The event started at 8 a.m. with introductions by Greg Brownell, Chair of the SMCC President’s Community Advisory Council and Justice of the Peace of the South Mountain Justice Court, Cody Williams who gave a historic overview of (South Mountain Village) south Phoenix.
There were three panels of experts which were open to questions and discussion from the audience. The first panel opened up the discussion of planning, geography and transportation, the second was education and the final was about public safety, the media and community image. A recurring theme among the panels was the great natural resources available and the need for the community to take advantage of them. A second one was the need to re-image or “brand” the community for its advantage.
A member of the first panel, Leslie Dornfeld, owner of PLAN-et and retired employee for the city of Phoenix, responded too many of the questions with suggestions for growth and expansion. “As a community we need to buy local. This market is a very unique market,” said Dornfeld.
The panel explained that (South Mountain Village) south Phoenix is just as important as north Phoenix or east Phoenix or any part of the valley, according to Dean Brennen, a retired City of Phoenix Village planner, who was part of the same panel.
The education panel brought to light the many great things the (South Mountain Village) south Phoenix communities have achieved. Mary Beyda, from the Roosevelt School district, told the audience of the recognitions and changes the district has achieved, like the “Kids at Hope” program and a new culinary school. Dr. Kent Scribner from the Phoenix Union High School district talked about his achievements with a new International Baccalaureate program. “We have to invest in the education community,” said Mrs. Josie Pete.
The last panel underlined the importance of re-branding the community with the help of Jason Rose, part of the Rose+Moser+Allyn PR Company. “There needs to be a goal of re-branding this community,” he said. “Unless you fundamentally change the image of the community nothing will change.”
A series of guest speakers were also part of the event sharing valuable information about the community, its history and leadership.
“There is passion in the people of the community and because of that passion of the people, great things can happen in this community,” said Greg Brownell.

Ask Grandpa (April 2011)
Posted by South Mountain Villager on March 24, 2011
“I messed up last year and now I have a police record. Why stay in school since nobody will hire me anyway?” - Mario
Just about everyone “messed up” at one time or another. To use that as an excuse for giving up is a cop-out. Coincidentally, I met a fellow the other day that specializes in training & placing 
ex-felons. His name is Demetrius Ford (Arizona O.I.C. 602-254-5028) and I’ll bet he could be of tremendous assistance to you.
Aside from that, why would you want to miss out on an education? Unless you plan on spending the rest of you life hanging out with Hobos, you’ll need to be able to carry on an intelligent conversation—Duh, Yuh no whut I meen, Dude? When you meet new people their impression of you may determine if you are given a bank loan, rented an apartment or even allowed to date my granddaughter. If you appear to be dim-witted, folks of prominence will probably be nice to you but you won’t be accepted as an equal. I’m not suggesting that you aspire to Hoity-toity status, but I know that you will feel better about yourself if you understand what’s going on around you. English, Math, Science, History and Civics are basic to a well rounded education. Foreign language, Biology, Business and Music are icing on the cake. If you decide to take up a trade, all these things will still help. Mario, I didn’t take geometry in High School or College and kick myself in the butt for it. After about 35 years of figuring my jobs that hard way I took the course (at 65)), talk about a dim-wit. Do it now while you have a chance —and it is free. Good Luck, Dude.

EAGLE College Prep (April 2010)
Posted by South Mountain Villager on March 17, 2010
EAGLE College Prep Fundraising
The students of EAGLE College Prep, located in our South Mountain community, study the six pillars of character and practice these traits daily. This was evident in the recent efforts of the students to raise money and collect shoes for the survivors of the devastating earthquake in Haiti.
Led by Mrs. Ariel Elgar’s fourth grade class, the students participated in two relief events. First, EAGLE held an out-of-uniform day, in which students could dress down if they brought in $1.00. The school raised over $400.00 for the Red Cross in one day.
In the Soles-to-Soles Shoe Drive, EAGLE students partnered with Sports Chalet to collect gently used shoes to send to Haiti’s earthquake survivors. Students and staff brought in over 1,000 pairs of shoes.
A school-wide assembly celebrated the success of both relief efforts. Team members from Sports Chalet came to collect the shoes and speak to the students about how their use of good character will help the people of Haiti. Another treat was a visit from Phoenix-born actress Alex Shipp, a student at Primavera Online High School. Miss Shipp spoke to the students about using the character skills they are learning, and she performed a song for the appreciative audience. Miss Shipp also autographed posters from her film Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel for every student at EAGLE.
The scholars at EAGLE College Prep have participated in several fund raisers, and they always eagerly await other opportunities to help their community: locally, nationally, and internationally.
