Dear students and families,

We had an exceptional day celebrating our 10th Grade MYP Personal Project Showcase. Students shared their learning goals and thoughtfully discussed their projects with peers, staff members, and the many parents who joined us for the event. Their confidence, reflection, and pride in their work were evident this morning at the showcase.

This afternoon, our teachers partnered with AMS colleagues to collaboratively assess each student’s Personal Project report. This meaningful collaboration provided an authentic professional learning experience while celebrating our students’ work at the end of their MYP journey.

Beyond the showcase, school life continues to be jam packed. Athletics are in full swing, students are beginning the course selection process for the upcoming school year, seniors are making decisions about next year, and we are putting the finishing touches on our Experiential Education course offerings.

IB Spotlight

Josie Cole, Margaret Buck, and Sylvan Doyle have completed their IB CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) Project by designing and painting a mural on a wall in the AHS bathroom. The girls said, “We wanted to prevent vandalism by creating a positive and inclusive message on the blank wall.”

Skier Spotlight

Congratulations to the following four students for winning a total of eight Scholastic Art Awards this year! Their murals will be displayed at the Snowmass Collective.

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

Last week was a good one for the Skiers! Swimming is still killing it in the water by qualifying for a few more races at States. Alpine finished Second at the last Race with 3 kids finishing 3-4-5 in Boys and 3-5-7 in Girls. Hockey shut out Mullen and Woodland for wins. Boys Basketball picked up a couple nice wins against Eagle and Basalt. The Girls’ Basketball team is really gelling. Nordic is always consistent with a couple top finishers every race and as a team always finishing in the top half of the competition!

We are working hard to make sure your kids have the proper equipment and team gear for their respective sports season. What makes that possible is the $200 participation fee. We have all the kids for fall and winter sports fees loaded on power school and I am asking that you go in and pay your fees. This will help with eliminating supplemental fees that might get assessed at the end of the year. We can not run a successful sports program without funds and the $200 dollar fee is what helps us become successful. Please pay your fees.

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