For many Americans, the Memorial Day weekend is an opportunity to have a barbecue and celebrate the unofficial beginning of summer. For others, it serves as a somber reminder of what our way of life truly costs. In either case, it is important to note that while most living veterans and active duty service members welcome words and acts of appreciation for their service, this day is specifically to commemorate those who are not with us anymore.
From Student to Honorable Leader: Embracing Extraordinary Leadership. I am honored and privileged to introduce you to Tucker Yarbrough, a fourth-grade SVA student. He has taken on the role of being an honorable leader. At nine years old, he stood up in front of the Littleton School Board of Directors and spoke...
As the discussion between my AP Lang students and me transpired, I witnessed their complete understanding of my overall objective for their learning. This brought me unspeakable joy, but it also illuminated significant heartbreak. My high school students clearly see what most adults leave unspoken.
I can't fix all the things. This is true.
But that makes me feel like I cannot fix any of the things. This is not true.
We can't help the masses, so we think we can't help anyone.
You can help someone.
Do for one what you wish you can do for everyone.
What is something I'm good at?
What is the need?
Memories From the Carline By Janice Hrncir I'm not certain if you remember the carline system about 12 years ago. I have enclosed our 373 number for car line pick-up for reference. A lot has changed.

That wisdom dug roots right into my heart.
The Hawks did not get to play another home game and rather became road warriors. They continued their success, ending with a 14-7 record (10-2 in the conference) and beating the two best teams in our league, Front Range Christian, on February 2nd and Bishop Machebeuf on February 17th. Those two, and the rest of our wins, earned us an at-large bid for the State Playoffs for the first time in SkyView Boys Basketball History and the 2022-2023 Mile High League Co-Champions.
Appreciate The Small Things. Whether it’s a teachable moment in class and a student sees success, or it’s on the soccer pitch for practice and your players are truly coming together and playing as a team, or at home while holding your little baby boy, rocking in the chair because he’s having a rough night sleeping.

As a school, we embrace the struggle. We want students to work hard, with the support of the teachers and parents, to unlock knowledge and new learning. We celebrate growth and achievement. We affirm and shout out the accomplishments of students, staff, and the community. SVA is a great place to make mistakes and try new things.
The benefits of a multisport athlete, along with the idea in general, appear to be something of the past when looking at the competitive environment of sports today and an athlete’s perceived need to specialize in one sport in order to excel. I believe that’s not necessarily the case when analyzing the benefits one gets from playing multiple sports as an athlete grows and develops.
