KODIAK WEEKLY BULLETIN

Greetings,


Heartfelt thanks to all who generously participated in GivingTuesday! Together, we raised an incredible $53,607 toward our $250,000 goal provided by the Chapman Foundation.


We have had an exciting week and appreciate your participation as we welcomed finalist candidates for our Head of School search. Next week, help us welcome our third and final candidate on December 4 and 5!


CSS has recently been featured in NORTH magazine, you can click here to read the full interview as it highlights CSS in the broader education landscape of the Pikes Peak region.


In case you missed this month's Parent Speaking Series: Safe Healthy Kids event, we have included the presentation slides here. We look forward to continuing this series on mental health in 2024 with the event Building Mentally Strong Kids on January 19.


It is with sadness and gratitude that we send Ms. Heidi Cooper off to her next adventure in Pennsylvania beginning in the new year. Her work at CSS has been invaluable and we wish her all the best. The School Counselor position will be posted today and we are confident we will find a wonderful counselor to take over this important position. Please see Ms. Cooper's letter (here) to the community to hear directly from her.


Looking ahead, CSS will be brimming with events next week, and we look forward to seeing you all - from choir and band concerts, Parents Association Holiday Market, Kodiak Classic Basketball Tournament, and much more!

Mike Edmonds,

Interim Head of School

Ellen Crow,
