Dear St. Vrain Valley Community,

Yesterday marked a historic moment for our schools and community as voters overwhelmingly approved Ballot Issue 5C, demonstrating once again the extraordinary commitment our community has to advancing public education and creating a stronger future for all students. This $739.8 million investment represents far more than building improvements and new schools – it represents our shared vision for excellence and our collective dedication to providing every student with the competitive advantage they will need to thrive in our rapidly evolving world.

Through your continued partnership and support, we will construct five new schools to serve our growing communities, including a large comprehensive grades 9-12 high school, a state-of-the-art Career and Technical Education center, a grades PK-5 elementary school, a Montessori school, and a PK-8 school. Additionally, this investment will strengthen safety and security across our system, advance critical infrastructure improvements, and ensure that every school in our district continues to provide the highest quality and safest learning environment for current and future generations of students.

To celebrate this momentous achievement and express our profound gratitude, I invite you to join us at one of two upcoming community appreciation events. These special evenings will feature an innovative drone show by our student drone performance team. We will be providing hot cocoa and cookies at these events. Please join us:

Tuesday, November 19, 2024, 6:30 p.m., at Frederick High School
Thursday, November 21, 2024, 6:30 p.m., at the Innovation Center

The passage of 5C reflects our community’s deep understanding that public education serves as the foundation for advancing our society, strengthening our democracy, and ensuring a prosperous future for our communities, state, and nation. As we move forward with implementing these vital investments across our system, we will keep our community informed of our progress. Your investment in St. Vrain Valley Schools through the passage of 5C will catalyze unprecedented levels of student achievement and success, further strengthening our position as a premier public education system in Colorado and across the nation.

Your unwavering support continues to humble and inspire us as we work together to champion a stronger future for our children, our communities, and our world.

Sincerely,

Don Haddad, Ed.D.
Superintendent
St. Vrain Valley Schools

St. Vrain on Parade. Join Us September 7th, 2024, to celebrate the outstanding teachers, students, and schools in our community. Parade starts at 10 a.m. at Roosevelt Park in Longmont.

Students across St. Vrain Valley Schools have been preparing for the upcoming Public Education on Parade event this September. Organized by a committee of high school students and educators, the parade is designed to celebrate the achievements of the district and strengthen the connection between St. Vrain Valley Schools and the community.

Addison Brents, senior at Silver Creek High School shared, “We have plans to get students and teachers from every single school involved. Each school will have the opportunity to showcase something that they are passionate about and that they think represents the district in the best light.”

The parade is scheduled for Saturday, September 7 at 10:00 a.m. The parade route will begin at Roosevelt Park, proceed east on Longs Peak to Main Street, then travel south on Main Street to 4th Avenue. From there, it will go east on 4th Avenue to Kimbark Street, head north on Kimbark to Longs Peak Avenue, turn left on Longs Peak, and return to Roosevelt Park. The parade announcers’ table will be in front of the Longmont Chamber of Commerce, and spectators are encouraged to set up along this area for the best viewing locations.

Carrie Adams, Silver Creek Leadership Academy Program Director and a key organizer of the parade, shared insights into the preparation and goals of the event. “We organized a committee this spring, asking each high school principal to nominate two students to represent their feeder program,” said Adams. “The students have worked tirelessly with support from staff to create and finalize the parade logo, manage logistics, and brainstorm ideas for giveaways. They’ve been instrumental in every step of the process, from creating save-the-date forms to coordinating parade entries.”

The parade is a collaboration between all schools in St. Vrain and their programs. “It will showcase special programs like the Innovation Center of St. Vrain Valley Schools and the Career Elevation and Technology Center, with entries that highlight unique aspects of each school, such as Mariachi band, P-TECH, and other focus programs,” shared Blake Baker, junior at Skyline High School.

“Allowing the community to see all the amazing programs and opportunities available to all St. Vrain Valley Schools students in one place is a great thing,” Adams noted. “This parade lets the community see the span and scope of the work the school district does. It shows a powerful partnership between the schools and the community members.”

St. Vrain’s Fine Arts department is hosting their fourth annual musical instrument collection drive. Members of the community are invited to donate gently used instruments to St. Vrain Valley Schools’ music program and receive a donation receipt from the St. Vrain Valley Schools Education Foundation.

There are two drop-off dates at the Lincoln School building on 619 Bowen St. in Longmont.

Tuesday, September 26 | 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Friday, September 29 | 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

After the drive, St. Vrain’s Music Leadership team will collaborate to ensure all donations are cleaned and tuned. Instruments are divided up to schools by a raffle system, which is held on a teacher professional development day.

The chickens were interesting and everyone wanted to know how bees make their honey. But the big star at Wednesday’s farming show-and-tell at Columbine Elementary was Westley, a 16-month-old horse who likes to show off a bit.

“Oh he loves it,” said Westley’s owner, Niwot High School senior Lilly Thomas. “He also likes little kids.”

Curious students at Columbine were enamored with Westley, peppering Lilly with questions about Westley’s diet, where he came from and what exactly Westley does all day.

“This is good,” said Theresa Spires, Wellness Coordinator for Nutrition Services for the St. Vrain Valley School District. “This is what we wanted to do. Educate our youth about local agriculture and help them understand our food system.” …
