Weekly Update March 10th - 14th
Hello CSA Families and Friends,
We have officially completed our first week of March! Time truly flies when you're having fun. Speaking of fun, it was wonderful seeing so many of you this past Wednesday during our Awards Assembly. Thank you once again for everything you do!
Today, six of our eighth graders attended this year's student leadership conference. The conference was a huge success, and our young ladies were outstanding representatives of what it means to be a CSA student leader. We could not be prouder of them! We will be sending out additional information and pictures soon.
Looking ahead, we have even more exciting activities planned for our students. Please check out the information below for more details.
- Don't miss our Spring Carnival this year! For your convenience, you can purchase tickets, pre-order meals, or bid on auction items using the short URL: bit.ly/CSACarnival. For more details, please see the flyer below.
- Skate City Arvada is offering our students great deals on skating over Spring Break. Be sure to check out the flyer below.
We also wanted to remind you that Raise Craze ends Monday! While we encourage Acts of Kindness to continue, this will be your last chance to mark off items on your Bingo cards. Also, remember that Monday is Early Release, and the Boys & Girls Club will be closed.
Lastly, a reminder that CMAS testing will begin shortly after we return from Spring Break. Please start discussing with your students the importance of doing their best.
That's it for now—we look forward to seeing you all soon!
Best regards,
Karina Costas
Principal, Colorado STEM Academy

We believe that uniforms can help build community. We also believe that individual style is important! For that reason, there are lots of ways that students and familes can show their school spirit at STEM. In addition to the yearly shirt exchange (see flyer below), families can purchase shirts and other swag from our School Store or directly through our vendor.
