Cultural Celebration Days
On designated cultural celebration days (such as Hispanic Heritage Month, Chinese New Year, and Mardi Gras), students may wear either traditional cultural attire that reflects the heritage(s) being celebrated or the school’s formal uniform.

For Mardi Gras, formal dress representing any French-speaking nation is appropriate. Examples may include Mardi Gras colors (green, gold, and purple), batiks, beads, berets, or kaftans.

Jeans, T-shirts, and sweatshirts-even if they include language from the celebrated culture or reflect contemporary casual clothing from that culture-are not considered traditional cultural attire and are not permitted on cultural celebration days.

The purpose of these guidelines is to honor and respect the cultures we study. Increasing the formality of dress on these days serves as a sign of respect and appreciation for the cultural traditions being celebrated.

District Spelling Champion

Huge congratulations to Shreyas on his incredible win at the District Spelling Bee. He triumphed over 67 talented spellers and advanced to the Colorado State Spelling Bee on March 7. Best of luck as you continue to showcase your spelling skills! We’re so proud of you, Shreyas!

2nd Grade Westward Expansion

Second grade had an unforgettable hands-on experience exploring Westward Expansion! Students galloped through history with horse races, practiced frontier skills like lassoing and bow & arrow use, and even learned how goats played a vital role in helping families survive on the trail. It was a fun, immersive way to bring the pioneer journey to life—full of adventure, teamwork, and discovery.

Bubonic Plague Simulation

Ms. Tabaka’s hands-on simulation of how the bubonic plague spread was incredibly engaging and inspiring. Her creative approach brought history to life and sparked deep student curiosity.

World Read Aloud Day

Our 6th grade ELA students had the joy of reading aloud to kindergarteners today in celebration of World Read Aloud Day! 📚✨ It was a heartwarming sight—big kids sharing stories with little ones, building confidence, connection, and a shared love of reading. So proud of our student readers for being such amazing role models!

Charter School Advocacy Day

WCA students proudly represented our school at Charter Advocacy Day, engaging with policymakers and championing the value of charter education. Their presence and voices made a meaningful impact—proof of their leadership and commitment to their school.

Student CPR Training

In the Middle School Child Development elective, students gained hands-on experience learning CPR—a vital skill that empowers them to act with confidence in emergencies. It was inspiring to see their focus and engagement as they practiced life-saving techniques.
