Thank you for taking a moment to review the following updates:

School Dance
Safe Driving Class
PAC Meeting
Spring Sports Sale
Enrollment Continues


School Dance
This Friday, April 15th from 7 to 9pm, the students of Animas High School and Grace Prep will be sponsoring a dance at the Main Mall in downtown Durango. Tickets are for sale from student reps at both schools and are $10.00 per person. Each AHS and GP student is allowed to invite one, high school-aged guest and must register that visitor when purchasing tickets. Students should arrive at the rear entrance and once you leave the event, there is no re-admittance. The students have done a fantastic job planning this dance and we are all looking forward to a very fun Friday night!

Parents, we are looking for a few volunteers who are willing to help out with this upcoming school dance. Please respond to student Ian Bowers at ianbowerscentralpark@gmail.com to lend a hand.

Safe Driving Class
Students are encouraged to participate in a SAFE DRIVING CLASS being held on campus afterschool, this Wednesday April 13th from 3:30 to 5 PM. The class will cover CO traffic laws, costs of driving citations, distracted driving issues, crash dynamics, true stories of teenage driving calamities, tips for safe driving and much more. Presenters include Diane Downing, Child Passenger Safety Instructor, Trooper Doug Wiersma from the CO State Patrol and Greg Childress from Durango Fire and Rescue Authority. The class is free to attend and students can sign up in the lodge.
