Hi Chap Feeder Family,
Here is a breakdown for this year’s Wish Week. Please pass this information to your families. We are wanting to involve the community as much as possible, and we would love your support at all these incredible events.
Wish Week is a week-long event characterized by fostering a greater sense of understanding, generosity, and kindness within families, schools, and the community as a whole. This is Chaparral’s fifth year partnering with Make-A-Wish Colorado, an incredible organization that helps grant the wishes of local children with life-threatening illnesses. Here is how you can get involved:
- WISH WEEK 2018 (2-9Mar18)
- WISH WEEK EVENTS
- WISH WEEK FEEDER DANCE WAIVER
Wish Week truly offers a special opportunity to change a family’s life forever. We would love your support in making this a reality. Whether it’s your time, energy, or money, we encourage you to get involved with the Chap Family to help grant a wish that will impact a child’s life forever.
Thank you for your support,
Chloe Croissant - Feeder School Event and Inclusion Coordinator

FROM THE PRINCIPAL - JOSH MILLER
The Principal Chronicles continues ... As I write this, it is Wednesday morning and Mrs. Nottingham is out sick. We don't have a sub for her so I am going to attempt to fill her shoes today. It will probably be the worst day the students have ever had in the library but I am going to give it my best shot. Mrs. Nottingham provides an extra planning time for teachers so I don't want to cancel. Mrs. Nottingham always does a great job with the students so I have some huge shoes to fill for this week.
We have some coding, reading of some books, and then some more coding. I should be able to hack into the Pentagon by the end of the day with so much coding. Actually, I am hoping the students can help me figure it out. Either way, it is going to be an adventure.
That is it for this week, sorry it is so short but there are students to teach!!! Until next time when the Principal Chronicles continue ...
