I’m very excited for the school year and have lots of exciting and creative projects planned for this year. One of our first projects is working with Ms. Sullivan, the music teacher, to help construct the set for the fall 5th grade musical performance on October 29, 2019. In class we will begin construction of large trees out of cardboard for the set. The students will construct the trees using a variety of recycled materials – mainly cardboard and paper tape. We need paper towel rolls, toilet paper rolls, wrapping paper rolls, mailing tubes, poster tubes, and unused concrete form tubes (6-10 inches) to construct our trees. Please save any and all round cardboard tubes and bring them to the art room. I have a box to collect the tubes and hope to begin construction next week (September 3-6). We will need quite a few so any and all would be greatly appreciated and every grade at Ute can and should contribute. Thanks in advance. Walk in Peace, Speak with Love!

Contact:Brigit Mulcahybrigit.mulcahy@jeffco.k12.co.usUte Scoot ~ Running Club Fall 2019 · The Ute Scoot Running Club is designed to prepare runners for the Ute Scoot 5K Fun Run. Running will be the platform to teach healthy habits and choices, and guide them to see their unique individual potential. Our experience with coaching/teaching kids has taught us that big lessons in life are taught in small ways. Sports are a great way to lead children to want to learn good strong life choices, and running is a great sport....anyone can do it! Running is simple, but it is not easy. We plan to use running as the main focus and let all lessons evolve from there.....the value of healthy habits, healthy friendships....the unique individual potential of each person, developing the motivation to reach/strive for success.
