Message from the Principal

Dear Parents and Community Members,

I am proud to announce that our students have been working incredibly hard during the Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) this week in grades 3-5.   Their dedication and effort have been commendable.

Our annual capstone student propelled school wide event, Hawk Air, is  only three weeks away.  Our students have been studying the UK for several months and are ready to embark and explore the countries of England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland.  This is our 13 year of Hawk Air and can only be possible with a tremendous strong parent community and partnerships.  I would like to invite all volunteers to participate in our annual Hawk Air UK event. We begin setting up on April 28th.  This takes several days to complete so there are numerous opportunities to support this event. 

 Hawk Air UK  is a great opportunity to showcase the talent and hard work of our students, and our incredible strong community. We are currently looking for volunteers to help with a variety of tasks, that include the set up of Ireland, Scotland and England in the gym.  

If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up HERE . We appreciate your continued support, and we look forward to working together to make this event a huge success.

Thank you for your ongoing support of our school and our students.

Have a great weekend,

Renee Collier

Hygiene Principal
