Kellie Phelps is no stranger to furry friends- she jumped in the Henry Lion mascot costume at Senior Signing Day last year to the roaring crowd’s delight! This week, we’re featuring her two black cats, Monte and Filius, and her German Shepherd/Lab mix Phoebe.
In our modern world of constant distractions, piles of work, and ceaseless demands on our attention, it can feel tough to find a moment of serenity. Meditation has been proven to help, and yet getting started may feel daunting. Maybe you’ve dabbled in meditation but the habit never really stuck? Perhaps you are tired of your smug friends talking about how much meditation has changed their lives, and you’re ready to get on the bandwagon?
As we touched upon in a previous Pet of the Week highlighting Australian Shepherd Manolo and his mom Yunuen Cisneros, we are in the midst of School Choice season, which comes to a close next Tuesday, February 18.
If you joined us last month at the DPS Board Meeting to show you support for DSST High School @ Noel, you already know what a great time that was, and we’re excited to see you again next week!
While it may seem far away now, Senior Signing Day planning is already underway!
On March 26, DSST high school students will have the opportunity to explore and connect with 30+ colleges and universities from around the country at the Colorado Convention Center. In addition to a traditional college fair, students will be able to take advantage of breakout sessions geared toward preparing students for success on the road to and through college.
8th graders from CGMS will showcase their original art creations that celebrate women who catalyzed positive change.
While we’ve seen some very notable and accomplished cats and dogs grace the pages of the Helix blog, let’s just say it- there’s been an embarrassing lack of animal diversity. That’s why we were especially excited when Natalie Thorsland, Support Specialist with Affective Needs Center students at DSST: Henry, reached out with not just her 2 dogs, but 10 pet reptiles.
At College View High School, students have been preparing for their ACCESS exams, which assess English proficiency. When they pass the test, they receive a biliteracy seal. To help get students and staff excited about acing these tests, CV HS has a resident hype man, Sal the Seal of Biliteracy.
On January 23, over 200 community members from the Far Northeast community came out to the DPS Board Meeting to advocate for a DSST High School @ Noel. We overflowed the board room as we supported the 5 public comments speakers- one from School Director Brandi Chin, two from students, and two from parents.
