Our theme for this week is our bodies and health. We will talk about the different parts of the body and their important tasks. We will also learn about what actions keep our bodies healthy and strong.
Our letter of the week is “Xx”. Our word family this week is “-et”.
The school science fair is this Thursday night starting at 6:00. We will have on display three of our classroom experiments that we have completed. Please be sure to stop by and see our display!

We’ve been popping, sorting, and counting kernels of corn like crazy for the Science Fair. Which is best, the Orville Redenbacher brand or generic? Come Thursday night to see and hear the results. Some of our students will be on hand to explain the hows and whys of our corn-y experience.
Pet week begins on Monday, April 2nd. Bring your picture for our board. Make an appointment to bring in your amazing pet.

Fine Arts
Mrs. Carlisle & Mrs. Force
Thank you for a very successful Music Festival. Thank you to all the parents that shuffled your students back and forth to the concerts. Last year we had less than 20 students that attended the festival and this year we had around 45! They learned a great deal and from what I can tell they enjoyed themselves. Thank you again for your efforts – students and parents! Marirose Force

Home and School
Scrip Program
We are in the process of adding new vendors to our Scrip program. Currently we still have the King Soopers gift cards. These cards are used just like cash and don’t cost any extra to buy but our school receives 5% of all sales! To order these cards please contact Diana Manion at 303 926 1317 and she will deliver the cards to the school office.
School Store
Mon. – Thurs. 9a.m. – 3p.m. & Fri. 9a.m. – noon
We have vegetarian canned and frozen products, and seasonings from several companies. Come browse and help our school. Buy by case or individually.
Fund Raising
Box Tops for Education & Campbell's Labels |
 |
 Save every Box Top for Education and Campbell's Label for our school! The Campbell's "Labels for Education" program is similar -- save the UPC codes of most products (not the front labels as in the past). On most Campbell's products, a tiny inscription beside the "Labels for Education" logo will describe what to save. Vista Ridge Academy benefits from every "Box Tops for Education" and "Campbell's Labels for Education" turned in. Don't throw away these treasures! Our school has received a free huge play parachute from redeeming the Campbell's labels, and we have received over $500 cash from redeeming the Box Tops for Education.
