Director’s Note from the Middle School:

Good afternoon families!

We are very excited to have you and your students on campus today for our Wish Week Festival. We have had a very special week celebrating and raising money for our wish kid Orion. Today, a company came to campus and shared a donation of 2,000 dollars for him. It is so powerful for us to practice generosity and giving for those in need, and we thank you so much for supporting us this week. We had a great time at Coors Field yesterday for STEM day. Thank you for sending your students to this important opportunity. We are hoping to increase students' interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math because these are where the most jobs are in our future job market.

One quick announcement: As the weather gets nicer, we have started opening the doors again at 7:25 to students. If the weather in the morning drops below freezing, we will let students into the commons at 7:15. Please continue to bring students early, or wait with them until 7:25 in cars to help promote a quick entry and cut down on traffic.

Sincerely,

Graham Wynings, School Director
