Columbine Poets of Colorado is a state poetry society and is affiliated with the National Federation of State Poetry Societies. Their mission is to promote the writing and appreciation of poetry among all ages across Colorado. Each year they hold a contest for school age children. Poems are then judged and prizes are awarded. The top ten poems are forwarded to the National Manningham Contest to compete for even greater prizes. This year Kayla Goddard took first prize, Katelyn Luze took second place, and Gabe Rabold and Kylee Miller were Honorable Mention. CLP had the national award winner last year as Julia Schmidt’s poem was recognized as best in the nation among those in her age group.

Personal Project Open House:
As our 8th graders register for Poudre High School, many are choosing to continue with their IB experience. As 10th graders they complete the Middle Year Programme and prepare for the Diploma Programme. Part of the transition to the Diploma Programme is completing a 10th grade IB Personal Project. Each year Poudre High School has an open house for the community to view the personal projects. This year the IB-MYP Personal Project Open House is Wednesday, May 1st from 6:00pm-8:00pm at Poudre High School. This is a great opportunity for parent and community to view what the students have been creating. This event was rescheduled from April.
School Innovation Program Grant:
Each year, $300,000 is designated from the 2010 Mill Levy for School Innovation Program grant funds. Per the Mill Levy ballot language, these funds are to be used to “maintain excellence for student academic achievement and interventions and provide resources for preschool, whole child, career awareness and wellness.” This year CLPMS applied for funds to focus on education of the” whole child” by developing a school-wide interdisciplinary project. This proposed innovation would be centered on the topic of GLOBAL WATER QUALITY, AVAILABILITY AND STEWARDSHIP. This proposal is innovative since students will develop a student and community-friendly expo, complete an interdisciplinary school-wide book study and then raise funds to support local and global water education programs. This program will begin with a focus on local water quality, availability and stewardship, and as the school year progresses, it will move to a more global perspective. The budget for the grant is $23520.00.

CLP Middle school is offering assistance to families affected by the High Park Fire and requesting donations of gift cards to be distributed to affected families. Read more to find out how you can help.
Why does a middle school still need at PTO? Middle school students are older and more independent but they still need us. A Parent, Teacher, Student Community organization lets our children know we support them and their school. It can be a great resource for parents, students, and the school. What would you like? Support for your child's sport or other extra-curricular activity? Parenting resources? More school pride and promotion? To be more informed? An awesome school? WE CAN BUILD IT!! All we need is you. Please join in the discussion Thursday, January 17th, at 2:30pm at CLPMS. See you there!
Can’t make it but still want to contribute? Please email Alicia Goddard at ak_goddard@msn.com with PTO in the subject line.
We expect students to wear clothing that promotes a positive, safe, productive, and learning-focused school environment. With this in mind, please adhere to the following requirements when choosing how to dress each day: More Information.
It is extremely vital that your student be at school. Colorado school law requires that students attend and that it is the parents’ responsibility to have their student attend school until the age of 17. Colorado law states that secondary students must attend school for 1056 hours out of 1080 hours. This equals four days of absences. You will be notified if your student has more than four days of absences. Students must have all absences excused through the attendance office. You may call our 24-hour attendance line at 490-3087 or our attendance clerk at 488-7405. If the parent does not notify the school of their students’ absence, then the school will contact the parent to verify the students’ absence.
*Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its three academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), or the Diploma Programme (and in addition the IB Career-related Certificate). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit http://www.ibo.org
