STEM SPOTLIGHT

If you missed Mr. Cartier's Friday email, please click the bottom below to read about Koson Schools and STEM School Highlands Ranch.

The holidays are around the corner and we’re excited to once again offer this easy, no-hassle way for families to show appreciation for their child’s teachers and the entire STEM staff during the holiday season.

We have currently collected less than $2,000. We have one more week to collect these funds.

Please make a contribution by using the button below by December 14. All donations will be pooled and evenly distributed among all STEM staff members. Gift cards and a special note from the donors will be delivered to staff on December 20.

Thank you for helping us spread some holiday cheer and gratitude!

With the holidays right around the corner, many parents are wondering what to get their students’ teachers. To help make gift-giving easier, we’ve linked our Staff Favorite Things responses at the button below for inspiration.

Please note: Not all staff members have completed the form yet. We apologize if your child’s teacher is not listed.

Get ready to bring your holiday cheer—Elementary Holiday Spirit Week is happening Dec. 15–18! Join us for festive fun each day as we celebrate the season together.

Lily Williams (Elementary Counselor) and Jill Dean (Elementary Social Worker) will be facilitating the Children of Divorce Intervention Program (CODIP) curriculum in the Spring. The small group will run after school on Wednesday from 3:00-3:40pm. CODIP is a supportive, research-based small-group curriculum designed to help students build coping skills, express their feelings in healthy ways, and navigate family changes with confidence.

Thank you for partnering with us!

It looks like a coat closet exploded in the building—and winter hasn’t even started yet! 😅 Our Lost & Found is bursting with jackets, hoodies, and water bottles just waiting to go home.

Before the cold weather hits, please take a moment to check for your student’s missing items so they’ll have everything they need to stay warm this season. All items will be donated during Winter Break.
