CMAS Testing Reminder
Families please note that our CMAS testing starts in April. You can view our testing schedule on our website under “Family Resources”. We shared information with all our students this week on preparing for testing and the importance of these standardized tests on our school and community. Please make sure your child is here and on time for their grade level testing days. We appreciate your support to help us prepare our students to do their very best. Here are some tips for supporting your child at home:
Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep the night before testing days
Ensure your child eats breakfast and avoid sugary items on testing days
Be encouraging by reminding your student to try their best
Donations
Donations Needed: Please drop off all donations at the front office. We appreciate you!
We are always looking for gift card donations of $5 gift cards to support our Be RED card Friday Drawings. Students love Fika, McDonalds, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, Berry Blendz, Swirls, Target, and Five Below gift cards.
In an effort to show our appreciation for our outstanding staff, we are launching an initiative to provide them with tokens of gratitude throughout the year. These tokens, though small, carry a significant impact in letting our staff know that their hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed. To achieve this, we have created an Amazon Wish List filled with a variety of small thank-you gifts that our staff members would greatly appreciate. These gifts will be given out as tokens of appreciation to those who consistently go the extra mile for our students.
The Be RED store is continuing to be a success! Thank you to all the families that have previously donated! We are always looking for continued donations as our inventory gets pretty low; the best sellers are Air Heads, packs of gum, mini Gatorades, and lunch-sized bags of chips/ pringles/ goldfish/ etc!!
Feel free to search on this Amazon wish list but you can always go off board too! Ask your student for ideas on items they would like to see in the store! Thank you!

Wish Week Totals
We want to send out a big THANK YOU for all of your help and support during Wish Week this year! We are excited to announce that during Wish Week we raised a total of $152,112.85 for Make-A-Wish Colorado! With this donation, Make-A-Wish Colorado will be able to not only grant Pochie's wish, but 17 wishes for children all across Colorado! We would not have been able to accomplish this incredible feat without the participation from all of our fantastic feeder schools! It was so amazing to build community over such a wonderful cause and we are excited to do it all over again next year! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
