For Charity Week this year, the Student Council chose to support the Colorado Cancer Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that focuses on treatment and palliative care, as well as medical research and education at the University of Colorado (CU) Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, CO.
Charity Week kicks off on Monday, March 11. Students can participate in fun, themed dress-up days all week, and we’ll close out the week with Middle School Dodgeball for Dollars on Friday, March 15. Donations for the Colorado Cancer Foundation will be accepted via MySchoolBucks through Friday, March 15.
Charity Week
All students are invited to participate in the following themed days in support of Charity Week:
- Monday, March 11: Formal Uniform Day – We’re taking class photos, so please remember to send your student to school in their Formal Uniform.
- Tuesday: Red Out Day – Students may wear a red top, red bottom, or all red; if they do so, they do not need to wear any part of their uniform. Students who choose not to participate need to come in their uniform.
- Wednesday: Ribbon Wednesday – Students may wear a top, a bottom, or both in the cancer ribbon color they’ve chosen to support and do not need to wear any part of their uniform. Students who choose to simply wear a ribbon or choose not to participate need to come to school in their uniform.
- Thursday: Charity Shirt Day – Students who purchased a Charity Week t-shirt can wear their shirt and bottoms of choice (as long as the bottoms meet the regular dress of choice standards). Students who did not purchase a Charity Week t-shirt need to come in their uniform. (This is a change as originally we stated that students should wear their uniform bottoms with the Charity Week t-shirt.)
- Friday: Regular Dress of Choice Day Friday, March 15: It’s a Dress of Choice Day, and middle school students can participate in Dodgeball for Dollars.
Note: If your student wants to recognize those who have faced lung cancer, they should wear white instead of clear.
Middle School Dodgeball for Dollars
Dodgeball for Dollars will be held from approximately 8:30 a.m. – 3:20 p.m. on Friday, March 15, in the Thunder gym. Middle school students should bring their own lunch, and lunch will be held from noon – 1 p.m.
Middle School students who signed up to play have been invoiced through MySchoolBucks for $5 p
Students who do not want to participate will go to a designated classroom for study hall.
Thanks for supporting Charity Week!
