The Automotive Technology Program at Desert Winds High School includes a race team that is sponsored by the Instructor of the Automotive Technology classes on campus, private sponsors, and by maintaining a student project 1969 Chevrolet Nova bracket race car that competes at local raceways, including the annual NHRA Career Day held in Pomona, California.
The team encompasses a complete student staff that includes a fund raising committee, graphic arts committee along with the event planning. Both male and female students participate within the team and serve as crew for the car. Students of the DWHS Race Team continually promote the National Hot Rod Association, and only attend sanctioned NHRA events.

These incredible inductees will be honored on Friday, October 5, 2012, at 5:00 pm in the AVHS Library.

PAST EVENT: Walk to Defeat ALS
Posted September 5, 2012
Information courtesy of Lisa Potter, Secretary, Palmdale High School
Recently former PHS student Juan Lastra contacted me regarding his mother and her fight with ALS. I was shocked and saddened to hear about Juan’s mom. I am very familiar with this awful disease - our family friend, Bill Hobson, lost his fight with ALS a few years back and it’s hard to watch outgoing strong people lose their life due to the affects of ALS. Juan is participating in the “Walk to Defeat ALS” on October 21st [2012] and I asked him to send me the link to make a donation and I also told him I would share the link here at work. Please click on the link below to read Juan’s story about his mom and why he is participating in this fundraiser. I am not asking you to make a donation , but I know Juan would be very appreciative if you did – I just mainly wanted to spread the word about his mom and his efforts to raise money for awareness and a cure on this ugly disease.
Here is the link to his story –

PAST INFO: Need a forever home!
Posted October 2, 2012
Information courtesy of Melody Speed, Senior Accountant, DO
TWO DOGS NEED A HOME. PLEASE SEE INFO ABOUT EACH BELOW!
Miracle the Dog! "Antelope Valley Dog and Cat Rescue (in Pearblossom) rescued this poor little guy being attacked by a coyote....(hence the name Miracle). He had broken ribs and punctured lungs. The picture shows him after his surgery. He is neutered and all current vaccinations are complete. He is 1 or 2 years old, and needs a loving home. They said he is very sweet. AV Dog and Cat Rescue does a "home check" prior to adoption and the fee is $100 (which doesn't even come close to covering the costs involved in saving his life and they don't like to charge, but they are a non-profit organization that only functions on donations).
Vilma Drever, Founder of AV Dog and Cat Rescue can be reached at 661-406-2179. This is her cell number, and most of the time, her voice mail answers (it is her cute grandkids voice), so just leave a message with your phone number and she will call you back. Vilma is a very nice person, very caring."
TAKE A LOOK AT LOKI! "This is Loki. He is a 4 year old Chihuahua/Jack Russell Mix that needs a new forever home as our current living arrangements are about to change. He is a bit skittish as most chihuahua's are, but really sweet when he warms up to you. He does well with other dogs, but would probably be best as an only dog especially if you desire an affectionate lap dog. If you or anyone else you know are interested please contact me via email or personal cell phone (661-886-4908) Text or call is fine. Thank you for considering this guy." - -Jason McClure <jmcclure@cityoflancasterca.org

Fortunately, while a snake may be hard for you to notice, your pets can detect them from hundreds of feet away. With over 1,300 rattlesnake bites to people in the U.S. in 2007, and the number of bites increasing each year, training your pet to detect and avoid a rattlesnake is especially important.

Little Chi Needs a Home BEFORE 4/26/13!
Posted April 25, 2013
# A4566862.
Do you have a forever home for Little Chi - SHE NEEDS A HOME BEFORE 4/26/13!
I forgot to mention she is about 2 years old and this is a terrible picture. You can tell how scared she is. The only thing I can add is when I saw her, she was in shock and had a bad gash over her right hind leg. In lieu of the circumstances her disposition was really good and very friendly -- SUPER SWEET! Her intake was 4/22 and from what I understand she has until 4/26. I have been working with the Lancaster Shelter to network her. I am hoping to save this little girl, as I want to point out to people that when they donate to animal control, this is where their money is going. This little girl went to the vet and got treated and the response time to Lake Los Angeles to pick her up was done in an exemplary time frame.
Thanks again, The little baby is at Lancaster Animal Control, Intake # A4566862.
