Principal’s Corner

Happy Thursday Eagle Families,

This week we have all felt the outpouring of love and appreciation from each and every one of you! We are so thankful for each of the thoughtful days of staff appreciation! Everything from the coffee to the popcorn to the food has really made us feel like stars!

Thanks so much for all you do to make everyone feel special!

School Notes

Important Information:

Bell Times for 22/23: Since Asbury shifted bell times at the start of this year, our bell times will remain the same for the 22/23 school year. We will start at 7:40 and end at 2:40. After getting input from the community and staff, we learned that as a community, we preferred keeping our current start time over a later start time.

Asbury’s 22/23 SY Calendar: Here is Asbury’s 22/23 school year calendar. As you can see, we have one release day per month and all the release days are backed up to a weekend or a long weekend.

Asbury Community Gardening Day: Tuesday, May 17th
- As the birds begin to sing and the flowers bloom, we would like to help our Asbury gardens bloom, too! We are looking for community help on Tuesday, May 17th to help weed and prep our different garden beds for new life this spring. If you are interested in helping, please see the sign up genius below. We are also looking for someone (or 2 someones!) with a truck to go to Veterans Park (at Iowa St. and Vine St.) between 8am and 2 pm on Saturday, May 14th to collect free compost during Denver’s Mulch Giveaway 2022. You must bring your own shovel to gather the mulch in your truck bed and then deliver it to Asbury grounds before the 17th. Other donation requests are listed in the sign up genius. Thanks for all of your support!
