4 images of CSA learners of merit holding up their awards

Colorado SKIES Academy Families,

We hope that you stayed safe and warm during the storm last week. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to campus on Tuesday. Our Halloween Spirit Week may be over, but we will continue to have spirit days on Wednesdays and Fridays. Be sure to read about and celebrate our Learners of Merit for the first quarter.

Colorado SKIES Academy is honored to partner with Wings Over the Rockies in their Fall Food Drive! The article details what food items are accepted, and there is a donation box in the front office to make drop off easy. To close out the food drive, there is a really fun event planned, Build an Airplane from Food, at Exploration of Flight on November 23rd from 11:00 am – 1:30 pm.

Our CSA learners have been hard at work planning events for our community and they expressed interest in helping the school communities affected by the recent hurricanes. As a result, the  CSA Learner Ambassadors have organized this school supply drive.

The CSA Learner Ambassadors are putting on a Winter Dance and need your help. The dance is being held on Dec 13, 2024, after school from 3-5 pm. The theme for the dance is The Nightmare Before Christmas. We are requesting your assistance with chaperones, food, drinks, music, decorations, and set-up & clean-up. Please help us by signing up here. If you have any questions, please contact the Learner Ambassador Advisors; Mr. Kemper or Ms. Kristoffersen. Thank you for all that you do for CSA and all the learners!!

Please remind your learners about our co-pilot shadow days where they can earn their wings! As a proud CSA learner, we are recruiting them to invite friends, neighbors, and relatives to climb into the cockpit and see how an aviation & aerospace-focused 6-8th grade education takes flight at Colorado SKIES Academy! Guests will shadow as a “Co-Pilot for a Day” and get an up-close encounter with classes, projects, and facilitators. They will experience firsthand the unique learning opportunities your learner is experiencing every day here at Colorado SKIES Academy. Each co-pilot will receive a CSA swag.

A friendly reminder to regularly check the CSA Community Calendar that usually includes the upcoming POL details, MAP testing dates, and other school events such as Tour and Co-Pilot days. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. We’re always here to support you and your learner and are excited to soar to new heights together!

In partnership, Directors Coryell and Motley
