Favorite Books Roundup

Thank you to everyone who shared your book recommendations earlier this year! We're feeling especially grateful to have them all here, as COVID-19 has given us the opportunity to catch up with all of the reading we may have missed.

We've already linked to their dedicated page on the Denver Public Library catalog so you can learn more and place an easy (and free!) hold on these favorite titles. While the library is closed, the Libby app is open! Using your library card, you can seamlessly access tons of books, including audiobooks, through this app. Check it out today!  

What's Up at DSST: Henry?

Following last week’s post on our efforts to secure a high school for DSST @ Noel, we’ve received some questions about the status of a DSST: Henry high school, so we wanted to take a moment to give an update and, importantly, give you an opportunity to help.  As you may remember, last year, when we advocated for a DSST: Henry High School, we ran into numerous obstacles- primarily, an unwillingness from the school board to entertain serious conversations around a high school. Having strong community support is essential for our success, and we continue to engage our network, parents, and the larger community to help us do this difficult but important work.

Pets of the week: Labs Lily and Max from DSST Middle School @ Noel

Students Prepare for 'Eye-Opening' Mission Trip to Puerto Rico

DENVER (CBS4) – A group of 10 students from Denver’s DSST: College View High School are raising money for a mission trip to the devastated island of Puerto Rico.

Turn Out and Turn Up for DSST High School @ Noel

The Bulldogs at DSST Middle School @ Noel need your help! In just 18 short months, the founding class of Noel will be moving up to 9th grade. We promised our Noel families a 6-12 high quality education, and we intend to keep that promise. But we need your support as we ensure that DPS keeps their promise to the families of the Far Northeast to offer high quality middle and high school options.
