Hello, Colorado SKIES Academy community!
As mentioned last week, your PAC team is starting the hard work to influence the delivery and outcomes of school life while enriching and building a greater sense of community, and we are excited to share what we’ve been up to.
We are in desperate need of more parent volunteers. If anyone has free time, we could use some help to make the school even better for our kids. Please email pac@coloradoskiesacademy.org if you can help, even just for one event!
As Directors Coryell and Motley mentioned in their opening greeting, the Winter Festival Dance was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who made it happen! Check the CSA Family Connection page for pictures and videos of the event.
We need a parent/guardian to lead and assist CSA in setting up a Learner Advisory Council. There is a lot of interest from learners, but we need parent help to implement and run it with learners.
Brainstorming ideas for future community-building events:
Chili Cook-Off: Ticketed event for chili cook-off along with a bake sale. An initial thought is to have this in March during March Madness.
Game Night: Family board games get together at CSA with food and beverages for sale and bring everyone together! Set up in the Village with Poker, Uno, Sorry, Trouble, and just small, simple games. BYOBG and join the fun!
Epic Yard Sale: Flyers distributed around the community for an EPIC INDOOR Yard Sale at the school. Everyone brings and sells their own “treasures.” It’s a great way for kids to help sell stuff, for the school to raise money, and to show off our school to the community! We were thinking of spring cleaning time, but we could have it whenever, really.
Talent Show: Let’s show off our kids! A talent show would raise confidence, and we could see some fantastic ideas from the kids. The Learner Advisory Council will hopefully take over this idea.
Change Wars: Each squadron would get its own Jar and have a competition for the most change for a duration (It could be a month or even a couple of weeks). Pizza or donut party, maybe? Thinking about the January timeframe.
Movie / Astronomy Nights: Projector area with food trucks. Possibly May.
Valentine’s Day: Telegrams, candy grams, heart butter braids – we would like the learner advisory council to take this over.
Debate Club: A learner at CSA has written a couple of proposals for a debate club at the school. We need to find others who are interested, a parent volunteer, and a facilitator to be there for meetings.
Staff Appreciation: We need volunteers to help Jan-May bring the staff lunch.
