Sports Banquet Invitation: Parents of students who participated in track, wrestling, girls and boys volleyball, and girls soccer are invited to join us for our sports banquet on January 26th from 5pm-6:30pm, with desserts to follow.

Come support our boys basketball teams this Saturday! 8th grade will be playing at home at Aurora Quest at 8 AM against Columbia, so let's pack the gym and cheer them on, while 7th grade will be traveling to Columbia for an 8 AM game.

Girls basketball starts on February 9th. Please make sure your kids are registered in Arbiter and CHSAA physical forms have been uploaded. This information can be found on our school website.

Please take a moment to review the district letter about spectator sportsmanship. As we continue our athletic season, it's important that all families understand the expectations for creating a positive and supportive environment at our games. We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring that our events remain respectful and enjoyable for everyone—players, coaches, officials, and spectators alike. Thank you for helping us model good sportsmanship for our student-athletes!

Humane Education- Compassionate Changemakers Club (Grades 3-6) 👈 click on link to register

Teacher: Ms. Brynn Wiessner

Location: Ms Brynn’s room 104

Meeting Date and Time: Wednesdays Weekly 2:30-3:30 Quarter 3 and 4, starting January 28th

This club is for those who are interested in animals, the environment, and all living beings. We will look at the intersection of caring for each other, animals, and the earth. We will choose an area of interest based on the students in the club to create positive and compassionate change in our community!

• Flu rates have continued to rise with additional reports of "super flu". Hospitals in numerous areas including Connecicut, Pennsylvania, and University of New Mexico are at capacity due to flu. Please consider obtaining the influenza vaccine for all members of your family.

• This is a reminder to parents of our younger students to please have a clean change of clothes in their backpack every day. We stock changes of shirts, underwear, socks, gloves, and hats but not pants.

• Dry skin season is almost year round in Colorado but so much worse in the winter. Some suggestions include applying a thick cream moisturizer after bathing while the skin is still damp. This will help hold in moisture. Increase fluid consumption. Use a humidifier in bedrooms--this can also help with nosebleeds. Be sure to change the water daily. Lips--please send a "chapstick" with your child. A petroleum jelly (Vaseline) is perfect.

Please let me know how I can help your child.
