Project: Create Week 3 Challenge is Here!

In a world of information overload, we all know that sifting through the many messages and news we receive on a daily, if not hourly basis, can be a challenge. It is compounded by fake news that continues to pervade social media platforms and websites. In times of pandemic, where emotions are already running high, fake news can be even more incendiary and harmful. For this week’s Project: Create challenge, K-12 students will have the opportunity to create a public service announcement or visual art piece (and perhaps, both!) addressing a societal issue in a factual way. The winners will receive 4 entry tickets and a gift basket from this week’s sponsor, the Denver Museum of Art, and will be featured on TV!

Refer SPED Teachers to DSST

We hope you all are well during these times, and while things may be changing in the world around us, one thing is still the same… DSST is still hiring!  While we have been extremely successful in filling most of our core roles already for next year, the one content we are still searching for candidates is in Special Education.  We know from experience that one of the best sources for new team members is YOU, so we are reaching out today to ask for your help in recruiting some amazing licensed Special Education Teachers for our students for the 20-21 school year.

(Illicit) Pet of the Week: Precious Pitty

A recent poll found that the thing people have been missing the most during quarantine is not happy hour with friends, their favorite fitness class, or spending time with their family. It’s been Pet of the Week! 😉

Project: Create Week 2 Challenge is Here!

Last week, we kicked off Project: Create, a series of weekly STEM challenges for K-12 students across Colorado. Every Wednesday, our media partner CBS4 will be announcing the winners of the previous week’s challenge, and will kick off the new one. Stay tuned for the story later this afternoon! These virtual contests not only get K-12 students to think creatively as they dive into a new project, but also have the extra incentive of great prizes and a chance to be featured on TV! We hope that you were able to share this opportunity with students last week, and will continue to do so over the next 5 week, whether during your advisories or in a Morning Meeting.
