Denver Children's Choir, 2nd-5th Grade: Sign-up Today, Starts Tuesday!

Like last year, we are continuing our partnership with Denver Children's Choir (DCC) and new this year, we are hosting a "Timberline" Choir at Dora Moore on Tuesday's after school--This is exciting! 

However, there was some miscommunication between us and DCC around the cost to participate and equitable access to our families. We were finally able to connect and we have some clarification. 

1. We are committed to ensuring that all students have access to this opportunity. 
   
   1. To keep costs low for Dora Moore families, we have agreed to pay DCC a fee of $3,000 and the use of our space. This cuts down on the cost for families and solves one of the transportation barriers if the choir were to be hosted somewhere else. 
   2. When registering, families are eligible to choose ANY Tuition Code. Specific to our agreement, Dora Moore families can and should feel comfortable choosing the DCC90 Tuition Code on the last page. Rather than revamp their entire registration form just for us, that code [though originally intended for just qualified assistance], provides the pricing that Dora Moore and DCC agreed to for our families. This should equate to about $90 for the year + a registration fee. 
   3. Additionally, should a family need 100% financial assistance please sign up with code above and send Mr. Janson (abram_janson@dpsk12.net) an email and we will take care of it. 

Ok! So with that said, please register with the directions below! The first session is on September 5th from 4:15pm - 5:15pm and DCC would like to get at least 15 more students signed up this week!

My Spark Denver Program - Middle School Students Potentially Eligible for $1,000!

Every kid in Denver should have the opportunity to pursue their passions and find their purpose through a variety of activities including athletics, arts, and academics regardless of their income level. 

My Spark Denver increases access to extracurricular programs for Denver Public School middle school students whose families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. During the 2023-2024 school year, 4,000 eligible students and their families will receive a $1,000 debit card to enroll in participating programs.

FREE REDUCED LUNCH CLARIFICATION 

Accepted documentation for application can include one of the following: 

a.) MySchoolApps Eligibility Letter 

b.) My Spark Free and Reduced Lunch Veritication Form (filled out by guardian and signed by school staff)

Ensuring all kids have access to enrichment activities, social-emotional learning and tutoring, can help kids manage current stressors and prepare for future ones.

• Young people who have a variety of opportunities for positive learning and enrichment activities engage in less risky behavior and have higher rates of successful transitions into adulthood

• Youth who say they have a trusted adult or group of peers they connect with regularly report more feelings of hopefulness about the future.

My Spark Denver is supported by a broad range of individuals, organizations and afterschool services providers.  My Spark Denver is administered through Mile High United Way and Gary Community Ventures with oversight from the Denver Office of Children’s Affairs.
