THANKS FOR COMING TO REACH FOR THE STARS!
Thank you to everyone who attended the Reach for the Stars fund raiser at DaVita. It was a great success,
and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. If you were unable to attend the fundraising event this
past Friday, McAuliffe would still love your support! We ended the evening falling short of our $80,000 goal to
support our capital campaigns, as well as our programming that the McAuliffe at Smiley Foundation supports
like our food bank, teacher appreciation, scholarships, and more. If you didn’t get a chance to donate yet this
year, now is your chance to help us reach our goal. To help fill the gap, we still have some buy­a­shares
spots to sell. These are activities for students to do with their teachers, as well as a few adult parties. (To
view those and purchase a spot or two, click here.) Also, if you would prefer to support McAuliffe through a
one­time donation or through a monthly payment, please click here. Thank you in advance for your generous
support of McAuliffe! And a special thanks to our student a cappella group for their incredible performance,
led by Shannon Wood­Rothenberg! http://us5.campaign-archive1.com/?u=e5456d139d01600542ee5a77e&id=030f06dd57&e=e04ce81853

CHAPERONES NEEDED FOR SERVICE LEARNING DAY ­ APRIL 10
Have you wanted to do community service with your child? The McAuliffe community will be involved in a
school­wide Service Learning Day on Friday, April 10th. To make this wonderful experience possible for our
students, we are in need of parent chaperones. The day will start with a check presentation assembly to our
Penny Harvest non­profit recipients at 8:30am. If you cannot participate the whole day, please consider
helping from 9:00am ­2:00pm during the service project work that will occur on­site at McAuliffe or at a non­

profit organization. If you are available to help out on April 10th, please email our Service Learning
Coordinator, Sherry Beardshear at [email protected]. PURCHASE DOG BISCUITS TO SUPPORT THE STINKBUG PROJECT!
During our service learning day, students have chosen to support the The Stink Bug Project by selling and
baking dog biscuits. The Stink Bug Project supports families, living in the Rocky Mountain region, who have a
child diagnosed with a life­threatening illness. They provide well­trained, loving companion dogs from
the Prison­Trained K­9 Program at Colorado Correctional Industries. Dogs have been shown to lower stress
for patients and caregivers during this stressful time. The Stinkbug Project also finds ways to help siblings,
who tend to get lost in the shuffle during this difficult time. If you would like to order or have your student sell
biscuits, please print this order form and have your student turn it into the main office. Each bag of dog
biscuits is $5. For questions, please contact service learning coordinator Sherry Beardshear
at [email protected].
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR COMCAST CARES DAY AT MCAULIFFE! ­ APRIL 25TH
McAuliffe was selected as a site for Comcast Cares Day on Sat. April 25th, during which Comcast staff will
donate their time and labor to do projects in our school building and grounds. In addition to this great help
from the Comcast staff, we need parent and student volunteers that day to work alongside them. Comcast
will donate $15 toward the school's fundraising needs for each student, parent or sibling that helps out this
day. We will run shifts from 8:30­11:00am and 11:30­2:00pm, and we will have a continental breakfast and
lunch for all volunteers. All volunteers receive a t­shirt for participation, and we will have a number of projects
to participate in like painting, planting, organizing music and making teacher appreciation gifts. More details
to follow, and please email Community Liaison Cindy Eastman at [email protected] with any
questions.
FREE LECTURE FOR PARENTS ­ APRIL 13
McAuliffe is pleased to present a lecture for parents called “It’s not the 70’s Anymore” by attorney Karen
Steinhauser, on Monday, April 13th at 6:30pm in the auditorium. This lecture is designed primarily for
8th grade families heading to high school in the fall, but all parents are invited to attend. Karen was a
prosecutor in Denver for 20 years, and is now a law professor at DU and a criminal defense attorney. At least
half of her practice is representing young people between the ages of 12 and 25. She put together this
presentation to address the disturbing trends in the law pertaining to juveniles and would always hear from
parents that the kids weren't doing anything worse than what we did. The problem is a lot has changed,
including attitudes of police and prosecutors and judges, and the change in technology has added so many
more complications for kids. Please join us for this FREE lecture. You are welcome to bring your student, but
it is designed for parents. PARENT VOLUNTEER NEEDED FOR THE LIBRARY

LIBRARY WORKSHOPS WITH PLANNED PARENTHOOD ­ APRIL 13
Have you had The Talk yet? Yes, that one. Maybe you have or maybe you haven't yet. Maybe you're waiting
for the right time to talk to your kids about sex. Or maybe just the thought of it makes your stomach turn.
What if you say the wrong thing? With all of the technology and social media, it's time for parents to go
beyond The Talk. In April, McAuliffe is offering two great workshops to make these important conversations
just a little bit easier­­one for parents and another for students. Healthy Relationships: This presentation is designed to help students explore the main components
of a healthy relationship. Through group discussion the students will explore the following
components: trust, respect and communication. This presentation allows students the opportunity to
explore their own feelings and opinions about what makes a relationship healthy as well as some
potential warning signs to look for in their current and future relationships. Talk Is Power: This 1.5 hour workshop is designed specifically for parents, guardians, family
members and youth­serving professionals that want to sharpen their skills around talking with youth
about sexuality and sexual health. Participants have the opportunity to explore their own values
around sexuality in a safe and non­judgmental environment. We will also explore how to respond to
difficult questions about sexuality and how to plan an effective conversation with a young person. Sign up here!: http://goo.gl/forms/uvKNhLWvpy When: Monday, April 13th, 2015 6:30­8:00 p.m.
Where: McAuliffe Library (2nd floor)*
*Parents and students will meet in the library and then split up into separate groups. For questions about these workshops, please email Anne Walker at [email protected].

GREEN ARCHITECTURE AND ART COLLABORATE TO PROMOTE RECYLCING
Written and submitted by Zoe Walsh, 7th grader
The 7th grade Green Architecture class learned about sustainability and chose to plan, implement, and judge
a school­wide art contest to promote recycling and encourage students to use trash in a creative way,
instead of letting it end up in a landfill. The theme for the competition is “Look Further”. Ms. Olesiak’s 7th
grade art students are currently studying relief sculpture as part of a unit called “Seeing the World
Differently.” The timing is perfect! Ms. Olesiak’s students as well as the rest of the McAuliffe students are
invited to participate in the competition. Detailed information about the competition can be found on Edmodo.
We will be sure to post pictures of winners and their works of art in the April 9th newsletter! INFORMATION ABOUT ALL STUDENT TRIPS
