STOP.....
Breathe....
Look Around....
Don't ever forget the power of our profession!
No matter their economic status....No matter if they come in their PJ's....No matter if their hair or teeth are bushed....No matter if they can read or solve math problems....There is nothing that will stop our work! Because WE believe every single one of our students are worth our time, our worries, our frustrations, our hugs, and our love!

Making Memories with our students!
Bilingual Play Performance: October 24th...
The Creede Repertory Theatre will be presenting the bilingual musical, "Albert Porter! Boy Explorer!" to Moffat County School District's elementary students on Tuesday, October 24th. The musical emphasizes social studies, history, culture, and much more!
Albert Porter! Boy Explorer!
Albert Porter is an ordinary kid in every sort of way. At
least that’s what he thinks – until he discovers the people
and stories from the past that make him exceptional.
Throughout his journey he learns about the many
cultures that make up Colorado’s diverse landscape:
including Pueblo and Ute ancestors, Hispano explorers,
and more. Travel with Albert as he adventures through
time, discovering the rich cultures that weave together
the contemporary landscape of the Southwest!
There will be two performances. The morning performance is for elementary students 3rd-5th and the afternoon performance is for our K-2nd students.
3rd-5th Grade Performance
Bus pick up time at each school will be 8:30
Morning Performance starts at 9:00 and ends by 10:00
Students will return to schools by 10:30.
K-2nd Grade Performance
Bus pick up time at each school will be 12:30.
Afternoon performance starts at 1:00 and ends by 2:00.
Students will return to schools by 2:30.
Permission slips will be placed in your boxes this upcoming week! Please collect them - you will need them all back!
CUPS Song (Thank you Mrs. Green)
C.U.P.S. Song
By: Mrs. Green’s 1st Grade Class
Capital letters start my sentences.
I look for proper nouns throughout them.
I use my words so you understand
What came from my brain to my hand.
I put my punctuation mark at the end.
I spell my words the best that I can.
I check my work when I’m done and
Then I give myself an assessment.
This is my CUPS song
And we’re at the end.
Thanks for listening to my friends.
