DEMOCRACY DAY | |
The St. Vrain Valley School District hosted its 3rd annual Doing Democracy Day on April 17, 2012 at the Longmont City Council Chambers. Students from across the district spent the day interviewing local leaders, and researching pertinent local issues, and then presenting their own resolutions to a panel of judges. Five students from Twin Peaks Charter High School were chosen based on the merit of their applications that they submitted to their History teacher, Mr. Schosid.
The five students who participated in Doing Democracy Day for TPCHS were Kindal Ellis, Megan Hiatt, Noah Sanders, Abigail Wanninger, and Evan Young.
They all had very strong presentations, and represented the school very well.

 UNIFORM EXCHANGE 2012
The next Uniform Exchange and Sale will be held just prior to the 2012-2013 school year. The exact date is still to be determined. This event offers families the opportunity to exchange dress code clothing in good condition that children no longer wear or that do not fit for needed clothing. Items are exchanged at a rate of 2:1; for every 2 items donated, 1 item may be selected for free. Clothing is also sold at $2 per item. Families who donate clothing are allowed into the Exchange 30 minutes early so as to have a first chance to select exchanges. Clothing is now being accepted for the Exchange. A list of families who donate and amount to be credited is maintained. Credit carries over for one year so families who had credit last year may still select clothing this year. Please contact Colette Lottor, 303-678-1642, or rejcbl@msn.com for more information. | | |
