Dear students and families,

Happy February! We have a huge list of Skier Spotlights, so be sure to read about all of the terrific things our students are doing and accomplishing. In addition, we have a lot of reminder announcements, so please read to the end. We are in the final weeks before Spring Sports, so be sure you have your physicals and are registered. Enjoy the sunshine and pray for snow!

IB Spotlight

In IB History, Jack Berro and Zach Grieper deserve to be recognized! They have been so enthusiastic and have been asking the best questions. Scott Reed is really proud of both of them!

Skier Spotlight

The AHS robotics team, the Robo Yetis, had an exceptional day at the FIRST Tech Challenge Mountain Qualifier at Fruita Monument High School on January 24. They were a member of the winning alliance in the robot field competition, and they won the Inspire Award, the highest honor given at an FTC event. The Inspire Award recognizes teams that excel not only in robot performance, but also in leadership, outreach, and embodiment of the FIRST mission. With this achievement, the high school team has qualified for the FTC State Tournament to be held in Golden on February 15. Congratulations to team members Aurelia Tunte Stuck, Thomas Robinson, Jack Diaz, Zach Greiper, Sloane Alexander, Parker Waller, and Spencer Ward.

Cell Phone and Airpod Reminder

Cellphones & airpods must be put away BEFORE students enter the building. We are 100% cellphone/airpod free until after 3:20pm when classes end. Students need to remember to put their phones away and remove their airpods before they enter or their phones & airpods will be turned into the main office for parents to retrieve.

Athletics

The Alpine Team had another outstanding race, with Josh Stephens winning overall and the team taking first place while also qualifying several athletes for State, congratulations! The Girls’ Dance Team earned an impressive 3rd place at Nationals, a true testament to their hard work and dedication. All that effort paid off with a well-deserved trip to the podium!

Girls Swimming celebrated Senior Night, and it was wonderful to see Sarah honored. The team heads to the State Championships this weekend, best of luck! Basketball also picked up a big win against Rifle.

We are working hard to ensure all students have the proper equipment and team gear for their respective sports seasons. This is made possible through the $200 participation fee. Fees for all fall and winter sports have been loaded into PowerSchool, and we ask that families log in and submit payment as soon as possible. Paying fees now helps prevent supplemental charges at the end of the year. We cannot run a successful athletic program without these funds, and the participation fee plays an essential role in supporting our teams. Thank you for taking the time to submit your payment and for your continued support of AHS Athletics.

If you have any questions, please contact AD Brett Beville or Assistant AD Bryce Sandoval. bbeville@aspenk12.net and bsandoval@aspenk12.net
