It was so nice to see all of you who were able to attend Orientation yesterday! We hope you enjoyed splitting off into Parent Crews to have more in-depth conversations about coming together as a community, setting intentions, and reviewing our school and class norms. Now and always, Parent Orientation materials can be found under the Evergreen Families Tab on the Navigation Menu. Review these and any materials sent by your classroom teachers.
We’re Listening: We’d love to hear your feedback on Orientation Day!

Adventure Program Volunteer Opportunities
We’re looking for volunteers to support the Adventure Program. Throughout the school year there are a variety of opportunities to get involved ranging from driving with Ski and Snowboard Club to being a Mountain Bike Coach.
All year we are looking for parent volunteers on Monday mornings, 9am - Noon to help with our climbing wall and ropes course. These volunteers help belay and guide our students through these high impact activities to support our students’ growth. Volunteer for one or multiple Mondays!
We're also looking for assistance with our Cans for Climbing program. When our trailer is full, we need help driving it to our local metal buyers. This volunteer option could be a one time help or a regular engagement.
If interested in either of these options, please let our Adventure Coordinator know at ethan.rhodus[at]evergreenccs[dot]org
Do you use aluminum cans in life? Do you want to help support our Adventure Program? If the answer is yes to both then we’re looking for you. Our Cans for Climbing program is a major fundraiser for Evergreen’s Adventure Program that is easy to participate in. All you need to do is drop off any aluminum cans you have in the Cans for Climbing Trailer located by our buses.
Any questions can be sent to our Adventure Coordinator at ethan.rhodus[at]evergreenccs[dot]org

Back to School Block Party
Hey Evergreen! I know it’s short notice, but there’s a Back to School Block Party happening TODAY at Pack Square Park! Did you know that Hip Hop was created 50 years ago at a Back to School Block Party? Here’s a primer and a playlist to celebrate 50 years of the artform from the podcast 1A!
It’s happening this afternoon- right after pick up until 7pm! So come celebrate a great start to the school year! Evergreen is exploring how we can partner with United Way to see how we can help them serve their mission: to co-create opportunities for every person in our community to live free from poverty and injustice. In support of this potential partnership, let’s see how many families we can get to show up and BE our community!
