Dear Everitt Families,
This week our music students had an opportunity to tour all of our elementary schools. It's always such a special week for them to make music with the high school musicians, to see their elementary teachers, and to inspire the elementary students to make music themselves. This evening our honor band and orchestra students perform. We are so proud of our musicians!
I hope that you are all able to be safe and warm this weekend in the extreme cold temperatures. We received many brand new coats from our partners at the Wheat Ridge Rotary club this week. If your child needs a new coat or if your family has any other needs during this cold snap, please let us know.
We do not have school on Monday due to Martin Luther King, Jr day.
Thank you for supporting and believing in your neighborhood school. It is our privilege to partner with you!

Book Study Opportunity
Our book study on the book 10-25:The Science of Motivating Young People by David Yeager. The book is about how to help young people between the ages of 10 and 25 to feel inspired, enthusiastic, and ready to contribute rather than discouraged, outraged or overwhelmed. It is equally powerful for parents, educators, mentors, coaches, and managers. We have a wonderful group of parents and staff members and have powerful conversations each week. We meet on Wednesday evenings at 5:00. Purchase the book, read chapter 11, and join us in the conference room on Wednesday evenings.

Everitt Student Wellness Day - Friday, May 2nd
We are looking for parents and community members who have a passion and expertise in a “wellness” topic who would be willing to share it with kids in May at Everitt’s 3rd annual Wellness Day for students. Students get to choose sessions and learn about everything from yoga, to mindfulness, to financial planning. Please review the list of past and potential session ideas and e-mail the PTA if you would like to get involved or know someone who you can reach out to. Sample wellness day sessions here: Wellness Day session ideas
Other Ways to help raise funds for Everitt PTA:
- Does your employer provide matching funds or are they looking for a community non-profit to donate to?
Everitt PTA is a 501c3 non-profit and would be happy to talk to your employer or help with any paperwork needed. While we focus on community building and not fundraising, additional funds could be put to good use helping to outfit more classrooms with the SmartBoard technology your kids have used in some, and all rooms can make great use of them!
- Have you linked your King Soopers Community Rewards yet?
Help raise funds for Everitt just by doing your grocery shopping! Everitt PTA is enrolled in the King Soopers Community Rewards Program. This is a great way to support the school without spending additional money, all you have to do is enroll and King Soopers will give back to Everitt! 🥦🍎🌽🍊
- Go to www.kingsoopers.com
Once logged into your King Soopers or City Market account go to My account ~ Community Rewards ~ search for Everitt Middle School PTA either by name or FT620 and then click Enroll. New users will need to create an account which requires some basic information, a valid email address and a loyalty card.
