Dear Colorado Skies Academy Families,

The countdown is on: there are only three weeks left in the 2022-23 school year! We have a lot to celebrate over the next few weeks, so please read this entire message carefully to avoid missing out on the fun. 

I want to recognize our Honor Squadron for the month of April. Congratulations to the Juliet squadron for earning the most points during the month! 

This Saturday, May 13, is the Aviation Career Symposium from 10 am - 2 pm at the Wings Over the Rockies Exploration of Flight building next door to the school. This is an incredible event for anyone who may be interested in pursuing a career in aviation, and we encourage everyone in our community to attend! While you’re there, stop by and say hello at our Colorado Skies Academy Exhibitor’s table! More information is available at the link above.

Please check out the “Upcoming Events” calendar as well as the detailed articles below for more information regarding:
