MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Hi Cory Families,
Happy Friday! We have finished CMAS and ready to get back into our learning and projects. There are still have many make-up tests to complete next week. The kids did such a wonderful job using their time, focusing, and showcasing their very best thinking. Way to go Cory Cougars!
Next Friday is the Cory Derby! I hope everyone can attend to have some fun, connect, and raise money for our wonderful programs and opportutnies for all our Cory students.
Eight Cory art pieces are on display at the Denver Art Museum through April 28. A handful of students joined Mrs. Alexander this week for a student reception. Great work, Cory artists!
Important dates coming up!!!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hello Cory Families!
Thank you to students for participating in the ‘Chickens for Change Drive.’ Our outstanding
students raised over $600 to support the chicken program. First place goes to the 3rd-grade
classes who raised $284.76!!
More Chicken News:
We installed the landscaping around the chicken coop. Our landscaper's Innovation Design
gave us a 10% on the installation!
Finally, the 3rd Grade Art Classes have created six chicken art paintings for the Cory Auction
later this month. Don’t forget to ask your students how the paintings were created.
