February is Heart Awareness Month!

Join us in supporting the Ronald McDonald House Charities by bringing in aluminum pop tabs from now through February 27th. We have some exciting goals to hit: any class that collects 200 tabs wins a class-voted prize, and if the whole school reaches 2,000 tabs, we will celebrate with a PJ and Stuffy Day! The class with the highest overall total will also be rewarded with an ice cream party. Additionally, don’t forget to show your school spirit and support for heart health by participating in Wear Red Day on February 6th.


Send a Cupid Gram!

Show someone you care this Valentine’s Day with a Cupid Gram! For just $1 each (cash only), you can send a beautiful wooden rose and a personalized card to a friend or staff member. To participate, simply fill out a card that went home in Thursday folders, and return it to the front office with your payment. Cupid Grams are available from now through February 6th, but act fast—they are only available while supplies last!

The St. Vrain Valley Schools Education Foundation is thrilled to announce that the Celebration of Excellence nomination form opens on January 12th!

This cherished annual event honors outstanding educators from every St. Vrain school who exemplify excellence in their roles and make extraordinary contributions to student success.

We invite students, parents, volunteers, fellow educators, school staff, community members, and business partners to nominate exceptional educators who inspire, innovate, and shape the future. In order to qualify, nominees must be licensed educators in the State of Colorado and employed at a St. Vrain Valley Schools campus for the current school year. Educators who received their school’s Educator of the Year honor within the past two years are not eligible.

Based on your nominations, one educator from each St. Vrain Valley school will be selected as their school’s Educator of the Year. These honorees will be recognized during the Celebration of Excellence on April 10, 2026, where a district-wide Educator of the Year will also be announced.

Nominations are open January 12 through February 1. Don’t miss this opportunity to recognize the educators who make a lasting impact in our schools and community!
