WOODSIDE PARENT EDUCATION SERIES
Distracted Driving Workshop
Kelly Browning, PhD, Impact Teen Drivers (California Highway Patrol)
Thursday, January 14, 2016, 7 to 9 pm
Woodside High School, Multi-Use Room (MUR)
Automobile collisions are the leading cause of death for our nation's teens. The overwhelming majority of these crashes are caused by inexperience or distractions, not "thrill-seeking" or deliberate risk-taking. Teen drivers are at the highest risk; the crash rate (per miles driven) for 16-year-olds is four times that of adults.
In this workshop, you will learn about:
- Strategies to keep your teens safe on the road
- Graduated Drivers Licensing (GDL) laws
- The rules of the road for teen drivers
- How YOU can stop the #1 killer of teens in America--reckless and distracted driving
Since 2007, Impact Teen Drivers has emerged as a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to reversing the pervasive yet 100% preventable crisis of "distracted driving." Impact's mission is to change the culture of teen driving, thereby saving lives in this and future generations of drivers.
Parents, students, faculty/staff, and community members welcome! Free admission. Spanish interpretation available. Questions? Contact Charlene Margot, Director of the Parent Education Series, at cmargot@csmconsulting.net or (650) 868-0590. For Spanish, contact Maricela Lopez, Bilingual Parent Liaison, at (650) 367-7263, Ext. 45323.

Boys Freshmen Basketball
The M-A boys freshman basketball team had another great week of basketball with wins against Half Moon Bay, Mountain View and Palo Alto, outscoring their opponents 131-71 in the process. With these games, the team is off to a 10-1 start for the season.
In the first game, M-A triumphed over Half Moon Bay 34-26. Team highlights included 15 blocks/deflections, 3 for 8 shooting from beyond the arc, and only 10 turnovers. Anthony Marini lead the way with 8 points and two steals, followed by Heath Hooper with 6 points while playing in only the second half. Danny Heimuli also had a significant contribution with 5 points, 5 rebounds and 5 blocks/deflections. The game was tight through two quarters (19-18), but once again, M-A pulled away in the second half.
In the Mountain View game, M-A built an early 9 point lead in the first half and expanded that to 14 by the final whistle, winning 41-27. Leading contributors included Danny Heimuli with 12 points and 4 blocks/deflections, David Kelmar with 9 points and 3 assists, and D'Marshaun Payton with 6 points, 2 assists and 2 steals. Other top contributors included Heath Hooper with 6 rebounds and 4 points, and Anthony Marini with 4 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 assists.

Boys JV Basketball
The Bears wrapped up 2015 with two decisive victories over local rival Menlo and out of towners Jefferson and a loss to previously beaten Palo Alto (Burlingame Tournament). Menlo ran into a buzz saw attack by the Bears, led by Jeff Keare's 17 points and 5 (yes, FIVE) made three point shots. Adding to the offensive attack was Brendan McLaughlin with 9 big points, Spencer Corona with 7 and a couple of huge rebounds, Miles Conrad returning to form with 6, and Will "The Beast" Beasley chipping in 6 and some big defensive plays. Elliot Barnes and the entire team played non-stop pressure defense which forced Menlo to search for an answer to getting off a shot before the shot clock would expire on almost all of their possessions. Final score: M-A 61 Menlo 25.
Jefferson met the same fate at the M-A gym, with Kearse making two threes and a deuce before Jefferson was able to get a shot off. Behind a total team effort, the Bears held Jefferson scoreless until the last 30 seconds of the first quarter, and that's where the game really came to an early conclusion. Of special note was Jhavante Hill's floor leadership and scoring, along with Corona, Beasley, and Colin Shen's 7 points and great rebounding in his sixth man roll. The entire team again saw extended action as the team closed it down prior to the Christmas break. Final score: M-A 50 Jefferson 29.
A short handed Bears squad ran in to a red hot three shooting team in the rematch with Palo Alto. Led by the tough play and scoring of Hill, the team saw great play by Chris Lobdel, Conrad, Barnes, and McLaughlin to pull within 4 by the half, but went down to an 18 point quarter by PA which led to a final score of Palo Alto 44 M-A 29. Congratulations to the Bears on a great 7-2 start to their season.

SERIES EDUCATIVAS PARA PADRES DE WOODSIDE
"Taller sobre la conducción distraída"
presentado por Kelly Browning, PhD, Impact Teen Drivers (California Highway Patrol/Patrulla de Carreteras de California)
Jueves 14 de enero de 2016. 7:00 a 9:00 pm.
Woodside High School, Sala Multi-Usos (MUR)
¡Padres, estudiantes, miembros de la facultad/ empleados
y miembros de la comunidad son bienvenidos!
Interpretación en español estará disponible. Entrada gratis.
Los choques automovilisticos son la principal causa de muerte en los adolescentes de nuestra nación. La mayor parte de estos accidentes al volante son el resultado de la falta de experiencia o de distracciones y no de la búsqueda de experiencias emocionantes o de un deseo de tomar riesgos deliberados. Los conductores adolescentes tienen un alto riesgo: la tasa de choques (por millas recorridas) ocasionados por conductores de 16 años es cuatro veces la de los acasionados por adultos.
En este taller usted aprenderá asuntos referentes a:
- Estrategias para mantener a sus adolescentes seguros en la carretera.
- Leyes relacionadas con Graduated Drivers Licencing o GDL (Licencias para Conductores Graduados).
- Reglas de la Carretera para conductores adolescentes.
- Como puede USTED detener el asesino de adolescentes #1 en los Estados Unidos - - Conducción distraida e imprudente.
Desde el año 2007, Impact Teen Drivers (Impacto a Conductores Adolescentes) ha surgido en liderazgo como una organización sin ánimo de lucro dedicada a revertir la penetrante y al mismo tiempo 100% prevenible crisis de "conducción distraída". La misión de Impact es cambiar la cultura de la conducción en adolescentes y así salvar vidas en ésta y en futuras generaciones de conductores.
Las Series Educativas para Padres de Woodside están patrocinadas por la Woodside PTSA, El Sequoia Healthcare District, y El Sequoia Union High School District.
