BVSD & Aspen Creek PTA are proud to present a community forum on school culture and climate. Please join us for this important event with Bill De La Cruz, a nationally  recognized expert in equity, school climate, and the process of transforming school culture. He will be facilitating small group discussion about how we talk with our kids about issues of conflict resolution, equity and bias in school and the world around us.  Please support our staff and kids as they take on the tough task of improving the learning environment at Aspen Creek.

Free childcare will be provided. Please arrive a few minutes early to check your kids in with our childcare providers.

Do you shop at King Soopers? Did you know that Aspen Creek can earn 5% on every purchase you make, at no cost to you?

Just buy one of our reloadable King Sooper giftcards for $10. Then you can reload the card over and over again, either at customer service or right at the checkstand before you pay for your

groceries. You can use your credit card http://www.buy-trusted-tablets.com to load $$ onto the King Sooper giftcard, then use the giftcard to pay for your groceries. You earn miles on your credit card, Aspen Creek earns 5% when you load the gift card. Its a WIN-WIN situation for everyone. The more gift cards Aspen Creek families use, the more money Aspen Creek earns.

You must get your giftcard from the Aspen Creek PTA so that the school gets credit. Please contact Julie Haman at jjheyman1@msn.com to get your card today.

On Wednesday, December 7 students from Aspen Creek travelled to Colorado Springs to host our OCHO book fair for students at Wilson Elementary. Thanks to the generous donations of our students and others who donated books for our students that read their 8 books we were able to provide over 2000 books for the fair. Each student was able to take home 4 books to keep. Plus there were some leftover for teachers to use in their classrooms. Mr. Perez and his

students were grateful for the books…especially at this time of the year. Be sure to check out the OCHO poster on the front door of the school…there are lots of great pictures of happy faces. Way to go Aspen Creek!

Join us for an evening of family fun on Friday, November 4 from 5:30-8:30 at Aspen Creek. For dinner we will be serving meat & vegetarian chili, mac & cheese, salad, dessert and a drink. We’ll also have popcorn, cotton candy and yogurt to tempt you taste buds. On our Cafetorium stage we will be featuring molecular gastronomist  Ian Kleinman, aka the Nitrogen Chef. His unique combination of science and food will be sure to entertain.

The small gym will be home to our popular silent auction items. Come and bid on gift baskets with themes suchas Breakfast in Bed, Disney, Family Game Night & Colorado Sports Fan. Plus we have items such as Humter-Douglas shades, a Winter Park mountain home, front row seating for special Aspen Creek events and much, much more.

The big gym will be home to the kids’ favorite games such as duck pond, lollipop tree, bean bag toss and cake walk as well as fun activities such as the ever popular crazy hair and face painting tables.

Coyote Brenna & Friend

Thanks to everyone who helped make this year’s Broomfield Days float the best ever. We had kids of all ages, from little ones in wagons to older ones on unicycles. Check out the pictures including one with Kelsey Gilliam our float designer extraordinaire. Another one from the Broomfield Enterprise features Brenna Fankell as our Coyote mascot. We had a fun time cheering and howling as we walked along Midway Blvd. If you missed it this year make plans to join us next year.
