Happy December!!

I wanted to provide you with a few tidbits that will make school run much smoother for our students and staff:

• As the weather gets colder and even more unpredictable, it is important that students are prepared for the weather with a coat, hat, and gloves. Our general rule is that if the temperature is above 20 degrees and not overly wet, students will go outside for recess. Please make sure that your children are prepared.
• Breakfast is not served in the cafeteria before 7:40. Our daycare and kitchen staff cannot supervise children before this time. At 7:40, students are able to come into the cafeteria through door #9 to have breakfast. Students not eating breakfast may enter the building anytime after 7:45.
• We prefer that early dismissal occurs prior to 2:30 (1:30 on Wednesdays). The office is quite busy at the end of the day and classrooms are focused during that time wrapping up their day and early dismissals have the potential to disrupt that important time of day. Also, if you are trying to check your child out after that time, there is a high liklihood that you won't even see them until after the bell rings anyway. ☺️

PLEASE - come visit our lost and found to check for your child's missing items.

On December 22nd, all remaining items will be sent for donation to our District Family Liaison office.

Hello Smoky Hill Families, Feeder School Families, Alumni, and Community Members -

We hope this message finds you well. In Cherry Creek School District, we are committed to five core values – Equity, Growth Mindset, Whole Well Being, Relationships, and Engagement –which shape our educational approach and enriches the lives of our students and community.

At Smoky Hill High School, we stand firm in embodying these values as we guide our students toward success. Our dedication to nurturing growth, fostering meaningful connections, and delivering an exceptional educational journey is a testament to our alignment with Cherry Creek's core values.

Our students' well-being and engagement are at the heart of everything we do. To truly embody our values, we're embarking on an exciting endeavor – the revitalization of our worn and outdated weight room. Our current equipment paints a picture that does not reflect the pride we have in our school or the success.

Why the Weight Room Matters: We believe that a well-equipped and modern weight room is vital for the holistic development of our students. It's not just about fitness; it's about instilling values like discipline, teamwork, and perseverance. We want every student to have access to a facility that empowers them to be their best selves.

How You Can Make a Difference: We invite you to be a part of this transformative journey. Your support, no matter the size, will contribute directly to enhancing the weight room experience for all students at Smoky Hill. Here's how you can help:

1. Donate: Every dollar counts and takes us closer to our goal. To kickstart this project, we aim to raise $75,000. This initial amount will allow us to invest in new squat racks, bumper plates, and barbells – a tremendous leap toward revitalizing our weight room.

2. Spread the Word: Even if you're unable to contribute financially, your voice matters. Share this email with your friends, family, and anyone who believes in the power of education and community. Together, we can reach even greater heights.

3. Reach Out: If you have any questions, ideas, or would like to get involved in our fundraising efforts, please don't hesitate to contact Reid Heller at Rheller@cherrycreekschool.org. Your input is invaluable as we work towards our common goal.

We are building a school in which all students will thrive socially, emotionally, and academically as they are prepared to make a positive impact on the world.
