The Monarch Messenger

Happy Friday, Coyotes!

I want to give a BIG thank you to the parents who helped put on an incredible “Nacho Day” this past Tuesday as part of our Teacher Appreciation Week! It really was awesome and the staff loved it! It is not too late to show your appreciation for our teachers so please take a moment and celebrate one of your child's teachers!

We still have a few crockpots left in the front office, please stop by and pick up your crockpot-

Thank you!

Have a great Weekend!

Principal

For a complete list of events, please see the CALENDAR on our website.

Congratulations to our 115 seniors who were recognized on Tuesday for earning their Seal of Biliteracy. These students were recognized with green cords that they will wear at graduation on 5/19/23.

The Teacher Recognition Awards Program was established by the Trustees of the Boettcher Foundation in 1992 to provide an opportunity for Boettcher Scholars to extend their gratitude to the teachers who have dedicated themselves to providing Colorado students with an outstanding education. Each 2023 Boettcher Scholar was asked to identify one teacher who impacted their lives and made significant contributions to their growth and education. Our 2023 Boettcher Scholar Alina Miranda chose Kathy Packard as their teacher honoree in recognition of Kathleen Packard’s passion for the profession and dedication to their students. In addition to being recognized with a certificate, Kathy will receive a $500 grant, to use toward an educational program, professional development, or project to benefit students at our school.

Ms. Packard, we are incredibly proud to have you as a teacher in our school community and thank you for inspiring not only your students but also setting a standard of excellence for others in your profession!

Congratulations to KATHY PACKARD!

TITLE IX STUDENT COUNCIL

The BVSD Student Title IX Council is accepting applications for the 2023-2024 school year! The Council is comprised of students who are interested in collaborating with the District regarding issues of sexual violence, harassment and gender discrimination. Students participating in the council complete Title IX related projects and play an advisory role to the District with a shared goal of elevating student voices and leadership. High school students that are interested in working on the prevention of sex-based harassment and violence at school, who are looking to utilize their leadership skills, and who are passionately committed to this long-term process of change in culture and breaking stigmas around reporting are encouraged to apply here! The Council welcomes all students, regardless of their level of knowledge on Title IX.
