Intent to Return and a Time of Gratitude
STEM staff indicates their plans for returning the following year with the Intent-to-Return form. They have three choices: Return in the same position; Return in a different position; or Not return.
With almost 200 employees, there will always be some changes due to retirements, moving out of state, wanting to explore other opportunities, or desire to change grades at STEM. Oftentimes, we can accommodate a change of placement to keep staff engaged and growing. Once STEM School Denver and STEM School Sterling Ranch open in the Fall of 2023, we anticipate there will be more opportunities for growth within teaching as well as within administration and leadership roles.

Wish Week Event Sign-Ups
National Honor Society is very excited to be approaching Wish Week! We look forward to supporting our Wish Kid, Saumel, who would like to visit Noah's Ark. Below is information about a couple of events high school boys can participate in this year.
First, we are excited to announce that we will bring back Powder Puff Cheer in collaboration with Student Government.
All high school boys will once again be able to showcase their athletic abilities and school spirit to support Samuel following spring break. If you have any interest in joining the team, please fill out this form! We look forward to seeing you soon!
Second, high school boys have the opportunity to participate in Ruff and Tuff! Ruff and Tuff is similar to Powder Puff in that high school boys will play against each other in a volleyball game. If you are interested in participating, please fill out this form that closes on Wednesday, March 9.
If you have questions about Powder Puff cheer, please contact John Masulit. If you have questions about Ruff and Tuff, please contact Sarah Braunschweig.
