Interstate 35 Preschool

Here are a few photos of our younger Roadrunners supporting JDRF yesterday at the annual track walk. Great job, Roadrunners! #RoadrunnerPride

Mark your calendars! The I-35 Drama Department is proud to present "Murder on the 518" on Friday, May 5 at 7:00 pm and again on Saturday, May 6 at 2:00 pm. Red-eye travelers on the westbound 518 are in for a surprise when first one passenger, and then another, mysteriously drop dead right before their eyes — and just as the train is halted by a rock slide in an isolated canyon. Because the pair appears to have been poisoned, anyone and everyone in the train dining car is a suspect! (Murder on the 518 by Michelle Giles produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Services, Denver, CO.)

Last night's School Board Meeting is available on the I-35 YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/8nwFojUR9lQ

Dress warm for today's walk. It looks like it might be chilly.

Please help us support our efforts in raising funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). We will be selling paper JDRF shoes for $1 each during the week of April 24th- 28th. These will be for sale in classrooms (elementary) and each office (MS/HS). Our goal is to sell enough shoes to line the hallways of the entire school! Proceeds will be given to The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. #RoadrunnerPride

Just a friendly reminder that our new high school principal candidate, Mr Beckel, will be visiting the district this evening for the board meeting. He will be here around 5:15 to meet as many people as possible. If you would like to meet him or if you have questions for him, please plan on coming. We will also try to have him here a couple more times this semester. Those dates will be shared once confirmed. #RoadrunnerPride

Students currently in kindergarten- 4th are invited to attend our Summer Jump Start program this summer between July 6 and August 1 on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00a - 11:30a. Students can be dropped off at the front door on those days and enjoy lessons in literacy, writing, math, and creativity/inquiry during each day of attendance. Students will also enjoy a daily snack and recess. Students will be grouped by age for instructional lessons, and our goal is to provide a fun and engaging jump start to the school year content for all students that are able to participate!
