Outdoor Ed Lost and Found

Hello families of students who attended  Outdoor Ed at Keystone Science School!  We had an amazing experience watching your children grow these past few days. The setting and programming was excellent. I am sure your science campers are exhausted. We collected items as we left that did not make into bags. Please encourage your camper to check out the table in the pod to look for any items. Hoping tomorrow the items will all make it home.
It was such an honor to accompany your child to the Keystone Science School! Your children are wonderful and I hope they share all of their memories with you!

Every year, our school community comes together for one of the most energetic and inspiring events of the season—our annual Fun Run! This lively tradition fuels our Specials programs—P.E., Music, Art, and iLab—by raising funds that empower teachers to bring unique and essential resources into their classrooms. 
 
This year the fun run to support iLab will be on September 4th! 
 
We provide race bibs for each of the students on the day of the race where we mark their laps. This year I think I will provide each class with stickers of our race logo to send home with each student on the day of the race to make things easier and then students don't have to worry if they lose their race bibs (last year we put stickers on the bibs). 
 
We encourage students to ask family members and friends to donate to their run for them to earn prizes. By pledging flat-rate donations, family and friends can help students unlock support-level prizes knowing their donations help these classes and teachers. The flyers show the prize levels students can earn, and information will be going out in the newsletter and can be found on our website: WESTGATE COMMUNITY SCHOOL FUN RUN.  We will also be sending out reminder emails throughout the month. 
 
Students and parents are also able to purchase a race day t-shirt for a limited time in our Spirit Store: Westgate Community School | Spreadshop
 
We are looking forward to race day and we encourage you to put some of this information in your posts on your advocacy page, so parents know it's coming soon! 

 

Welcome to 2026-27

Dear 5/6 Community,
 
Welcome to the 2026-27 school year. I will be interacting with all of the 5/6 students this year.  The classes I will be teaching are ADVOCACY, one section each of 5th grade MATH, and ELA, and both sections of 5th grade SOCIAL STUDIES.
 
I am a Denver born third-generation Coloradoan who has connections to Denver and Fraser. With more than 30 years in a classroom abroad and in the metro area, I come to Westgate to be a part of this creative and loving community. This is my second year. Educated in both traditional and Montessori education, I bring experience in Whole Child philosophy which was coined by Dr.Montessori more than 100 years ago.
 
My favorite things to do are spend time with my family and celebrate the accomplishments of my three adult children. Of course, my family includes fur babies, as well.  I love both kinds of football and if I am not cheering for the Broncos, I am cheering for the Croatian National Football Team. This summer I watched ALL the FIFA matches and love to talk all things Football (Soccer)
 
I am excited to partner with you all to challenge and support your children in my classes. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.  I prefer e-mail and I will get back to you with in 48 hours. If something is urgent, please call the school.
 
Here's to a lovely and successful school year,
Ms. Tanya Muftic
