Hello Columbine families and communities! Thank you for a great start to the 2022-2023 schools year. At the high school level, many families are involved in fundraisers for specific programs. We do have a few whole-building level programs that benefit the whole school and community. Please consider donating your time, talent, or funds to these programs.

This craft fair is a great community event to showcase local crafters. The entry fee and the booth rentals support the Columbine After Prom fund--a safe event for students after the prom event.

We need 2 people to coordinate the craft fair for 2023. The fabulous Mary Hung has done this for the last 4 years and her daughter graduated 2 years ago. We are looking for parents to run the craft fair for next year. It entails working with our activities director, Jayne Vahle, as well as communicating with the vendors about dates, times, spaces, etc. There are few events that raise considerable funds in such a short time. It is essential for our afterprom. Contact Jayne Vahle, activities director, 303-982-8751 for more information. jayne.vahle@jeffco.k12.co.us

After Prom 2023

What: The After Prom party starts when Prom ends! It’s a parent-planned party for 500+ juniors and seniors, and their guests! The After-Prom party helps to keep our children safe on Prom Night

Where: Main Event Highlands Ranch

When: April 28, 2022; 11:30 p.m. to 3:00 a.m.

Why: To provide a fun, safe and alcohol- and drug-free environment for our junior and senior students and their guests on our campus.

Who: We need 2 parents of 11th/12th graders to coordinate after prom. We host it off site so the time commitment and number of volunteers is minimal. We need help with

donations for decorations, prize planning, door prizes, etc.

This is a PARENT-run event though the administrative team will be there for supervision. Many schools have had to cancel their afterproms because of a lack of parent volunteers. Columbine has been very lucky to have parents step up. Contact Jayne Vahle, activities director, 303-982-8751 for more information. jayne.vahle@jeffco.k12.co.us
