Break Out Boxes were amazing!
Our librarian, Diane, set up a fabulous learning/team building activity today. Two different groups solved a series of challenges and puzzles. Successful problem solving lead to a code that helped unlock one of many locks.

Halloween Skate Day 2016
Halloween
Skate Day 2016
Halloween
is quickly creeping up on us and it’s time for all of the JCOS creatures of the
night to gather at Skate City for our wicked all school skate day. On Monday, October 31st, dressed in our most
outrageous costumes, we will climb aboard the buses and be transported to the
Skate City off of 121st for a monstrous time.
The
cost is $8.00, which can be paid online through JeffcoConnect up until Friday,
October 14th. If, for some
reason, you pay online and your child is absent the day of skate day, the money
will be used to help pay for the all school end of the year picnic. The $8.00 can also be turned in to your
child’s advisor on Monday, Oct. 31st. We’ll
be picked up from school at 9:00 and dropped back off at 1:30. Don’t forget to pack all the gooey and slimy
things that you want to eat for lunch and bring your roller blades if you want
to use them.
Everyone
is strongly encouraged to wear your costumes, as long as it won’t get in the
way of skating (no masks or costumes that hang down by your feet). Don’t forget to bring your head, $8.00, your
slimy lunch and your costume. Parents,
grandparents and siblings are welcome to join us if they dare, but must also
pay $8.00. Please call Rosie at
#303-982-7056 if you have any questions.
Come dressed in your best and be ready to have a bone chilling good
time.
Rosie
and David
Directions: Take Wadsworth South to 6th
Ave. Get on 6th Ave. going
East. Get off 6th Ave. on to
I-25 going North. Take I-25 all the way
to 120th. Take a left on 120th,
cross the bridge and turn right on Delaware.
Turn right on to 121st and follow to Skate City, which will
be on the right side of the road.
Haunted
House – Do you like to be scared? If so, come on down to the gym and get ready
to scream. We will open the doors to the
haunted house around 1:45 and will keep them open until 3:30 or until everyone
is too scared to go through any more.
