4th Grade Family Weekend

Last weekend, students and parents from the 4th-grade class had an amazing time together at Snow Mountain Ranch. Beautiful weather, fun activities, and lasting memories were made. The purpose of this parent sponsored retreat was to create a foundation for future conversations among parents and a tighter bond within the class.

8th Grade Retreat

Our 8th-grade students spent last Wednesday through Friday on retreat at Camp Idrahaje in Bailey, Colorado. Their time away included team-building exercises and a number of good old-fashioned fun activities, including archery tag, cliff rappelling, a ropes course, water balloon fights, frisbee golf, and night-time games.

An email to our STEM teachers from a parent:

Hi STEM teachers! I wanted to send a quick note to thank you for all your hard work with my kids. We were on a road trip this summer and stayed at a ranch in Cody, WY which had an irrigation ditch running through. One lazy morning while my husband and I were inside catching up on work, our kids planned and executed their own STEM challenge to see who could create the fastest boat that could deliver a payload (a piece of broken smoothed glass). They could only use materials they found laying around. They invited us out to witness the…

The commissioners’ plans include a $10 million, one-time offering for physical security and mental health programming in schools, plus an ongoing $3 million — if matched by county schools — that will help fund school resource officers in the county. He’s grateful, he said, that the financial offer was made to all…
