FROM THE WEST OFFICE Dear Bruins, Our 60th year is quickly coming to an end. With the start of the fourth quarter having arrived, we have only 38 days remaining prior to graduation on Wednesday, May 20th. Or, if you think like our students, we have 28 school days before the Class of 2015 graduates. Remind your kids to enjoy the time ahead as it will pass quickly. The month of March was full of activity and celebration. In Twitter fashion here is a recap of the month of March. 1. Congratulations to the 592 seniors and juniors who earned a letter for excellence in academics. It is a joy leading a school where it is cool to be smart and to earn good grades. 2. The CCHS Production of Cinderella was a smashing hit for theater goers of all ages. Bravo to the cast and crew! 3. CC DECA had a record high of 83 students qualify for the national competition. Best of luck! 4. The Creek Hockey Team captured the hearts of Bruins and non-Bruins with a magical run that included a 6 OT Frozen Four win against Dakota Ridge followed by a title victory in the third OT v. Monarch. Congratulations to the champs! 5. The Lady Bruins Basketball Team advanced to the Final Four. I’m very proud of the team for an outstanding season. 6. Cherry Creek would not be the same without the support of our parents. The Exceptional Volunteer of the Year for CC is Christine Tesmer. Thank you Christine for all you do! In the recent past we hosted a college admissions director during our Coming Back to Creek event. The guest speaker was Alex Subert. He is the Senior Assistant Director of Admissions at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Alex shared his knowledge with the students and parents in attendance regarding the admission process. He left the audience with advice that will prepare both seniors and their parents for the transition to college. His advice is as follows: For students: 1. Don’t be intimidated by anyone—by faculty, upperclassmen, or administrators. People can be more knowledgeable, but every perspective is unique and no one else has yours. Everyone is equally intimidated by the college transition process, so keep that in mind. Confidence is cool. 2. Learn to be comfortable saying “no.” Socially, we feel uncomfortable saying no because we want to create bonds and work with people, but it can be very useful. Remember, “no, I can’t go to the movie because I have to study.” It also keeps you safe if you find yourself in sketchy situations. 3. Practice failing at something. No one is perfect 100% of the time and you will learn more and have a more enriching experience if you challenge yourself. 4. The next four years do not define your life—it’s only a part. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself and don’t stress out too much about choosing a major. Remember that 80% of college students change their major at least once, but the average student changes their major 3-5 times. 5. Call your parents and family. College is a time of exploration, so bring them along on the journey. For parents: 1. Send care packages to your student—it lets them know that you’re thinking about them. 2. Think about the transition to college like you are teaching your son or daughter to drive. Only they can do is, and all you can do it help. Sometimes it’s stressful and you’re holding the dash and sometimes you have to grab the wheel and help steer, but ultimately they have to learn on their own. 3.Trust your student—you raised good, moral, hard-working people; look at how successful they have been up to this point. Particularly when thinking about partying—remember, every school is a party school if you’re a partier. For both: Have fun and enjoy the next 9 months. It’s a shame that senior year you spend half of the time mentally being somewhere else. Students are becoming adults and then, unfortunately, moving on. For students, spend time with friends, go to prom, and go to various events. During the month of April, it is important that we focus on our seniors. 66 yes, that is the number of days we have remaining with our seniors before they walk across the stage at Stutler Bowl to receive their diploma. I certainly do not have to tell you that this time will pass by quickly as many of you have already shared with me that it seems that it was just yesterday that you were wiping away your tears after taking your child to their first day of kindergarten. My recommendations for the second semester are simple but important. First, take photos of your senior, much like you did when they were toddlers. There are so many important moments that you will want to capture forever. Second, stay connected. I regularly remind the faculty that our seniors may have beards and the bodies of adults, but they are still kids. They may not always act like it, but they still need their parents just as they did when they had food on their faces and shiny sleeves from their runny nose. Third, require your kids to try new experiences at home that may not be considered fun, but they will make the transition to college and life alone much easier. Yes, I am talking about laundry, cooking, and personal banking. Finally, the most important recommendation is that you schedule time to be together as a family. Our students are extremely busy with their academics, extra-curricular activities, and their social life, but regular family dinners or Starbucks trips together are important for parents and kids. I hope to see you at school in the coming months at any of our school activities that you will find in the Home Herald or on our website. Have a wonderful month! Best wishes, Ryan T. Silva, Principal 2015 CCSD SPECIAL EDUCATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETINGS ALL SEAC MEETINGS ARE AT THE EDUCATIONAL SERVICES CENTER 4700 S.

Panel Discussion, Healing Our Youth: Michael Mazenko coordinates programs and events at Creek. He received a lot of input last year that a conversation about the pressures facing our kids would make a good panel discussion. Michael introduced Valerie Purser, the Executive Director of South Metro Health Alliance, and panelist host. Valerie said that two counselors are on hand if you want to have a one-on-one session at any point during the evening. There are also many opportunities for mental health classes and certification in the metro area. Gina Moore, President of NAMI Arapahoe and Douglas. This is her personal journey. Her son exhibited signs of depression as early as 4 months old. He had severe separation anxiety, angry outbursts, and was a poor sleeper. Gina’s son is doing much better now, but she often wonders if she should have sought help for him earlier. Gina said to get help for yourself or a loved one if you think there is need. Dr. Amy Gensler, Parker Pediatrics and Adolescents. Dr. Gensler has two children. She says that mental disorders are a neurobiological brain disorder. 1 in 4 adults, and 1 in 5 children, have a diagnosable mental disorder in any given year. 50% of lifetime mental disorders present themselves by 14 years of age. The brain doesn’t fully finish developing until age 25. Teen stress is particularly harmful. These stressors are: 1. school, 2. family, 3. social, and 4. time. Chronic stress during the teen years is very detrimental to brain development. The biggest thing you can do to help your kids is to make sure they are getting enough sleep. Dennis Ballinger, Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network. Dennis mentioned that the onset of addiction typically happens before 21 years old. Marijuana has been shown to lead to a significant decrease in IQ levels among heavy users. Marijuana today is much stronger than it used to be and kids in Colorado are under the mistaken impression that since it is legal, it is not harmful. Nicotine is a very frightening gateway drug. The biggest thing you can do to help your children navigate drugs and alcohol is to delay their use. Jocelyn Hilling, At Peace Therapy Centers. Jocelyn said that mental illness is not a one-size-fits-all issue. People are different, but she presented some signs and symptoms of depression. Time management is a big part of helping your children. Mental illness is a treatable condition. Casey McAndrew, Youth Action Board, Children’s Hospital Colorado. Casey shared her experience with mental illness and time spent in a psychiatric ward. She says our culture would benefit from treating the whole person with integrative medicine. Is there any definitive research on the link between diet and managing ADD and ADHD? According to Jocelyn, taking a holistic approach to health care and possibly adding supplements under the care of a doctor or psychiatrist can help. PTCO MEETING RECAP ~ February 5, 2015 Call to Order/Welcome: The meeting was called to order at 9:15 am by Stephanie Kallet. Stephanie said thanks to all the volunteers for everything they do for the school and students. Penny moved to approve the minutes from December and January, seconded by Joan Adams, and unanimously approved. February 9, 2015 is the Parent’s Council meeting at 9:15 am. This meeting will be held at SARC with Dr. Bull in a Q&A format. The February accountability meeting has been canceled due to a non-contact day. After Prom Update: Paula Romero Schmidt and Catherine Cooper provided an After Prom update. The event will be on Saturday, May 16th, at the Brunswick Zone in Lonetree. There will be activities for the students to choose from, including an Italian dinner buffet. There are many parent volunteers needed. Karen Petroff is the After Prom fund raising chair. Karen mentioned that After Prom is looking for fund raising donations from businesses and parents. Senate Students: Wish Week Activities: The Student Body President mentioned that the Mr. Creek contest held last week raised over $750 with proceeds going to Wish Week and DECA. Swishes for Wishes was held last night and raised over $1000. The Community event sing-along brought in $450 Creek has raised over $6000 so far for Wish Week. The Talent Show will be held tonight at 5 p.m., the pep assembly is tomorrow, and the Snowball Dance will be held tomorrow night after the basketball game. There is a link under activities on the CCHS website if you’d like to donate to Wish Week. Principal Ryan Silva, “State of Creek” update: The AP Computer class unveiled their computer software program built for Creek’s Master Schedule. The AP class worked with the Registrar on this program. CCHS has two primary goals of Excellence and Equity. For Excellence, Principal Silva mentioned increasing our numbers around all four college readiness benchmarks. It is hard to meet all four benchmarks. Creek’s Equity goal is to raise the graduation rate so that all populations meet 90%. It is good to have these goals working in conjunction with one another. Students did very well on the ACT, reporting the highest numbers in the state. Creek has had an increase in the graduation rate for black students, but we still need to increase the Hispanic graduation rate. Black students now have the highest graduation rate at CCHS. All of this data is available on the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) website. There are two areas we need to concentrate on: Hispanic students, and all boys, with the exception of Asians. CCHS’s 1% drop-out rate is the lowest in the district. The Diversity Conference was held on Saturday with over 89 schools and 1000 students in attendance. The conference has been held for 22 years. Twenty-five student athletes signed letters of intent yesterday and 12 signed in the fall. Security cameras have been installed in the common areas at school and outside. These are much-improved, very high resolution cameras. Last week there was a fire alarm in the West Building. Fortunately, there was no fire, but there was a lot of smoke from a transformer box. A 911 call went out as an active fire warranting lots of police response. The February non-contact day will include a secure perimeter drill as there are new areas to secure and test. Meeting adjourned at 10:55 am. THANK YOU CCHS AFTER PROM SPONSORS FOR YOUR GENEROUS DONATIONS!

COUNSELING CONNECTION Cherry Creek High School: Bullying and Climate In July 2012, the Colorado Department of Education passed House Bill 11-1254 which is a grant program for schools to implement bullying prevention and education and does the following: Requires the Department of Education to provide bullying prevention resources online. Requires districts to update bullying policies. Expands the legal definition of bullying (adds language around electronic bullying and mentions a specific prohibition of bullying based on disability, race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, ancestry, or need for special education service. According to HB 11-1254, "Bullying" means any written or verbal expression, or physical or electronic act or gesture, or pattern thereof, that is intended to coerce, intimidate, or cause any physical, mental, or emotional harm to any student. "Bullying" is prohibited against any student for any reason, including but not limited to any such behavior that is directed toward a student on the basis of his or her academic performance; or against whom federal and state laws prohibit discrimination upon any of the bases described in section 22-32-109 (1)(11)(l). Additional information on this house bill can be found at: http://www.cde.state.co.us/pbis/bullying/index#sthash.oQzdNuNg.dpuf CCHS has policies and procedures for handling bullying behavior when it occurs, which can be found in your students’ Bear Facts and are available from the Deans. Our faculty and staff also receive training in what to do to interrupt and address bullying behavior when it is observed and are a presence in the halls during passing periods to provide additional supervision. However, in addition to addressing bullying behavior when it occurs, we know it is also important to continue to work on building a positive climate where character and kindness are emphasized. The Cherry Creek High School Vision statement, posted in many places around school, states Cherry Creek High School graduates: Understand and respect various cultures and subcultures; treat others with respect and dignity. Self-advocate and take responsibility for their actions and behaviors Prevention/education efforts have increased significantly over the years and students continue to drive many of the efforts which contribute to a culture of tolerance and respect. The recent Make a Wish week raised enough money to grant the wishes of three children suffering from life threatening illnesses, possible due to the school wide involvement in what has become an annual event. Ethnic Fest this year expanded again in its mission to provide opportunities for our community to learn about different cultures. In April we will be holding Teen Awareness Week to address a number of issues including suicide, body image, stress management and COUNSELING CONNECTION healthy living. In process is a plan to reinstate The Alphabet Project, which is co-sponsored by the South East Rotary Club. The purpose of this project is to broaden student awareness and support of human diversity and culminates during Human Rights Awareness Week in December. Student Senate is also developing a project aimed at addressing cyber bullying, to be rolled out in the spring. The curriculum of Creek 101, required for all freshmen, includes a direct discussion of the legal implications of bullying. However, the model of this class was specifically designed to provide a safe place with a teacher where students can discuss the difficulties in making the transition to high school. Principal Silva has made a point of bringing in a speaker with a positive message for all students to hear every year. In previous years, Rachel’s Challenge has provided the students with the messages aimed at combatting bullying and allaying feelings of isolation and despair to create a culture of kindness and compassion (http://www.rachelschallenge.org/bigpicture/about-rachels-challenge/ for additional information). Finally, here are just a few of the student groups aimed at increasing respect and tolerance for differences and spreading messages related to kindness have included: SPOT (Suicide Prevention of Teens) Diversity Task Force Spectrum/Gay Straight Alliance Big Sisters Open Arms Empty Bowls Awareness BRUINS Squad Peer Ambassadors If your student is interested in any of these or in other ways they can be involved in contributing to CCHS being a safe place for all, the best place to start is with our Activities department to see what club or activity best fits their interests. Susan Swisher Counseling Department Coordinator April 2014 Craig Wittgrove, Post Grad Coordinator Announcements for Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors! Be sure to attend our Inaugural Evening with the College Deans – Wednesday, April 22 at 6:30 PM in the Fine Arts Theater. 9th-11th grade students and parents should attend this informational night as we host the Deans of Admissions from the University of Chicago, Case Western Reserve University, and the University of Maryland, College Park. Several things will be explained to help you understand the college process from the admissions side of the desk and advice from some of the top minds in college admissions. See you there. We have a lot of important information to share this month for seniors, juniors, and sophomores, so please read carefully and check the board outside of the Post Grad Center. SENIORS As this newsletter arrives in your mailbox, so do many of the anxiously awaited admission decision letters. There will be cheers and tears both, but we hope all your hard work in the admission process will be rewarded. A few reminders that sometimes gets lost in the excitement: Class of 2015 May the force be with you Join us on Thursday, April 23rd for SENIOR DAY IN POST GRAD! Come in to say hi, let us know what you are thinking in terms of life after Creek, munch on some snacks, complete the senior surveys on Naviance, sign the post grad windows, and put your pin in the graduation map! Whether you just want someone to bounce ideas off of, need more specific assistance in comparing your college options, we are here to help and would love to see you! May 1st, 2015 is the Candidate Reply Date. You must confirm your acceptance with your first choice college, typically by sending in a tuition and housing deposit. Meeting this deadline is critical as colleges continue to receive record numbers of interested students. You could miss your chance to enroll by missing the deadline. Inform your other colleges choices of your intention to attend elsewhere. This is a common courtesy, often overlooked by students, that lets colleges know where you stand. Generally this information is preferred in writing; an email will suffice. You will find our 2015 CCHS Scholarship Form in this edition of the Home Herald. We want to congratulate all of you! To meet publishing deadlines for including names in the USJ Senior Edition, and to be able to report the phenomenal amount of monies being offered to your class, we need these forms turned in to post grad no later than FRIDAY, APRIL 10 th.

In order to participate and march in the May CCHS graduation ceremony, you must have completed all 22 of your required graduation credits. Seniors who have not completed all requirements will not be allowed to participate in the May ceremony. Remember that the college you will attend requires your final transcript after graduation - so do not slack off! Your colleges admitted you based on your academic performance through 6 th or 7th semester, but they expect you to continue that performance until the end of your senior year. Colleges have been known to rescind admission to students based on final grades. Do not put yourself in this stressful position! Juniors If you have not yet done so, please schedule your Junior Conference with your counselor. This meeting is invaluable for ensuring that you meet all graduation requirements, register for the correct courses, and are off to a good start in your postgraduation planning. Parents are highly encouraged to attend if possible! Teacher Recommendation Letters: If you plan to apply to colleges that require recommendation letters, we highly encourage you to approach one teacher who you feel could write a strong letter on your behalf. Some teachers receive requests for letters from over 50 students, and often spend an average of 45 to 60 minutes on each letter. Do them a favor and ask them well in advance! And be sure to say “Thank you!” Teacher Recommendation Forms are available on your Naviance homepage. Complete the form, print it out, and hand it to your recommender AFTER they have agreed to write your letter. The State ACT will be administered on Tuesday, April 28th, 2015.

Congratulations to all of these students! Happy Spring and GO BRUINS! Krista Keogh, Activities Director ATHLETICS Spring time is in the air, but our last couple of winter sports programs finished their season on a great note. Women’s basketball won their Elite 8 game at the Denver Coliseum versus top ranked Highlands Ranch. That win earned the lady Bruins a trip to CU Boulder for a Final Four game against Broomfield. The ladies did not win that game as Broomfield went on to win it all, but the team had a phenomenal season as they won the league title and made the Final Four for the first time since 2004. With a rather young team the future looks bright for the program. Our newest winter program, ice hockey, is also the latest program to win a state and NATIONAL title. The team won their final 8 game against two time defending champion Ralston Valley 2-1. That win earned the team a trip to the Frozen Four at the Budweiser Events Center in Loveland. The team then won a state record six overtime game, 3-2, against Dakota Ridge in a game that will be talked about for ages. The semi-final win earned the Bruins a rematch with perennial power Monarch. In the third overtime Nick Chavez scored the winning goal and the Bruins had a 3-2 victory, and a STATE TITLE! The Bruins wento on to win a National title at the USA National Hockey competition. Congratulations to the ice hockey program. It was a season to remember. Moving onto spring sports, the Bruins teams are finally outside after our two weeks of snow. A few of the teams have already recorded impressive victories. Men’s swim defeated Fairview in an early season dual. Women’s lacrosse is undefeated and ranked number three. Men’s lacrosse is also undefeated and ranked number one including a win over #6 Columbine. Women’s soccer just recorded a big victory for the team as they knocked off #5 Pine Creek, 2-1. Baseball also has a big win as they defeated Regis 6-5 in extra innings. Tennis, golf, and both track teams are also underway and looking to make noise this spring season. The athletic department will also be unveiling a new website in the next few weeks. The new site will be user friendly and full of information and capabilities. Men’s lacrosse and women’s soccer will be using these sites this spring. As always we also wish to thank our sponsors for supporting Cherry Creek athletics. They include Platinum member 5280 Oral Surgery and Dental Implants, Silver member Best Western Plus DTC, Jackson’s Hole, Which Wich Sandwiches, Eastbay, and Blue Sky Promotions. Jason Wilkins Athletics Director [email protected] Creek Choir Ahhh…Cinderella what a treat it was; just magical! Make sure you make room on your calendar each year for the Creek musical; they’re truly a delight! The Choirs are back from tour! Tours are a lot of work for the choir directors, staff, and Cherry Creek administration (who often give generously of their time to accompany choirs on tour as chaperones). What a great opportunity for our choir students to experience new places, and a great way for our choirs go out and represent Creek in other communities. Welcome back, Choirs! Upcoming Creek Choir performances: Hard to believe it’s time to wind down another year. The final performances: Spring Choir Concert – Tuesday, May 5, 7:00pm: Statesmen, Choralaires, A Cappella Wednesday, May 6, 7:00pm: Union Street Jazz Choir, Troubadours, Girls’ 21, Meistersingers A Cappellooza – Thursday, May 21, 7:00pm: A Cappella, Choralaires, Statesmen Choir Trips: Cherry Creek High School is well known for being a 2014 Grammy Award recipient, and one of the many traditions we enjoy are our annual choir trips. Each year our select choirs, Troubadours, Girls’21 and Meistersingers, rotate taking performance-based tours to represent Cherry Creek High School in the US and abroad. This past January, the Troubadours went to California. In March, the Meistersingers will be traveling to Chicago (March 18-22), and Girls’ 21 will be traveling to Budapest and Salzburg (March 25-April 1, 2015). These performance-based tours are a mixture of performances and sight-seeing. Meistersingers will be participating in a vocal clinic at Northwestern University and participating in exchanges with New Trier High School and Evanston Township High School. They will also be attending concerts of Yo-Yo Ma with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and a concert of the Chicago Symphonietta performing “Carmina Burana”. Girls’21 will be taking fifty ladies to perform four major concerts, including an exchange concert with a college choir in Budapest, performing at St. Michael’s cathedral in Budapest and the Mozarteum in Salzburg. They will have the opportunity to visit many attractions while in Budapest including Heroes’ Square/Millennium Monument, Fisherman’s Bastion, St. Stephen’s Basilica, Buda Castle, Matthias Church, Hungarian Parliament. In Salzburg they plan to visit the Fortress Hohensalzburg, Mirabell Gardens, Salzburger Dom, Hallein Salt Mines, Nonnberg Abbey and the Leopoldskron Castle. All expenses are paid for by the girls and their families through money earned by a variety of fundraisers efforts throughout the year including: King Soopers, Masterworks Concert, Annual Fruit & Nut fundraiser and Valograms. These trips are a wonderful opportunity for Creek students to see the world and showcase their amazing talent at the same time. We wish them well!

You have also seen the joy of the students who take part in the vibrant CCHS Fine Arts community! Participation in performing and fine arts is known to boost the creative and adaptive skill sets of students. For CCHS, it’s full “STEAM” ahead, as CCHS continues to put the “A for Arts” into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) as a critical component of strong public education. As many of you know, in the spring of 2014, Cherry Creek High School won a Grammy Award for excellence in music education! Also in 2015, 54 CCHS students were selected for All State Choir. Seven students were chosen for All State Jazz Choir, eight for All State Band, and seven for All State Orchestra. Additionally, 7 Orchestra students made it into the Western States Honors Orchestra Festival. CCHS’s Spring Musical Cinderella was a breathtaking collaboration of drama, song, dance and technical theater. We hope you had a chance to see this production of what many kids were calling a “life-changing experience.” Among the numerous events that the Fine Arts Department has already brought to the community this semester are Elephant Man, the Masterworks Concert, and Jazz on the Green. The spring concerts are rapidly approaching, and a new musical will, yet again, grace the CCHS stage in March of 2016! Take the opportunity to enjoy all of the high caliber entertainment right here in our community! Friends of the Arts was established by parents decades ago to help support and maintain a high level of excellence in the Fine Arts Department at Cherry Creek. Funds donated to Friends of the Arts have helped send students to competitions, send instructors to participate in ongoing professional growth opportunities, and support a piano accompanist and orchestra assistant. They continue to help maintain and upgrade Fine Arts equipment, and have helped bring in guest conductors from around the world. Please consider making a donation to the Friends of the Arts at Cherry Creek High School. Friends of the Arts welcomes and values contributions of any amount—whether it’s 10 people giving $10 each or one person giving $100—it’s your participation that makes a difference.
