π Hall of Fame!
Last night, Ms Jane Silver was inducted into the CHSAA Hall of Fame. π
Ms Silver is here in Mancos at the nursing home and a few Mancos graduates accepted the award on her behalf. The graduates put this video together, that was aired during last nights event.
A quick history of Ms Silver. Ms Silver came to Mancos to teach in 1967. She was one of few women teachers and the first women band and choir teacher for Mancos. She helped bring women's sports to Mancos with Title 9 and was a coach and mentor to many students. She built an amazing marching band program and lead MHS to 3 Colorado State Championships. She retired in 2000.
π΅ Congratulations!

π Wild Chicken
Our next two Wild Fridays will look a little different as we are taking the group to Chicken Creek for the Wild Chicken events. These events are February 9th and 23rd - a cross country skiing festival.
Mancos students and parents can meet at the flagpole at 12:00pm for both days. Hereβs the catch - we are limited to 11 people total including chaperones and students. If you need gear, you must sign up by clicking https://sjma.org/events/category/interpretive/ or scanning the QR code on the flyer. If you have your own xc skis and transportation, feel free to head straight to Chicken Creek and join on the fun at your own pace. Be sure to check the link out for a list of items that is helpful to wear/bring while cross country skiing in the back country. Hope to see a bunch of you out there. Letβs get wild, chicken!
