A huge thank you to all of you who donated your time, energy, money, toys, cakes, tents, tables, gift cards and Broncos tickets to host a great community event! The turnout was fabulous, the weather held, we raised over $10,000 for teacher grants and most importantly, a good time was had by all, especially Brayden Clark and Jaymee Peterson who won the Broncos tickets!

100-Mile Club
The morning running club attendance continues to amaze me.  The track is packed with joggers. 
Thanks to Southmoor parent, Melissa Trujillo, we had a great “golden ticket” event, last Friday. 
Students who were lucky enough to pick a yellow popsicle stick, received a special prize.  
There definitely was a noticeable faster pace of movement, in order to get more opportunities to pick a stick.
Thriller Time
All students have begun learning the Thriller dance.  We will perform it at the conclusion of the Halloween parade, on the blacktop.
It’s going to be awesome!  Hope to see you on the 31st.
Appropriate Footwear
As winter approaches, please send your child to school every day with shoes appropriate for safe and efficient movement on the playground and in the gym.
It is common for students who incur injuries to be wearing inappropriate footwear, especially snow boots.
Live Well, Joseph Bazzanella
