SPECIAL THANKS to EVERYONE who helped clean the Town Hall after the performance!!!!!! And to everyone who had a hand in making the entire production a huge success!

Eek -- too much multitasking; I made a mess of that last post in more than one way. I'm sorry.

Please avoid driving on *ANDERSON* during the big Jamestown commute, say 7:45 - 8:10 am and 2:30 - 3:00 pm, to allow kiddos a safe walking route.

Please stop at the top of Mesa and see if anyone is already on the hill or waiting at the bottom, before starting down.

Please drive slowly.

Please attend the Town meeting on 1/7.

Summary of various winter driving discussions:

The current, prevailing strategy is to avoid driving on Mesa during the big Jamestown commute, say 7:45 - 8:10 am and 2:30 - 3:00 pm, to allow kiddos a safe walking route.

I've learned from some Jimtowners that Colorado state law holds that the person at the bottom of a hill has the right of way. It seems that all of us who drive to/from school could manage on Mesa if the people at the top just make a habit of peeking over before starting down.

This topic will be on the January 7th Town meeting agenda. JES parents, maybe we could arrange cooperative childcare.

Hurry and get your authentic Camp Jimtown BUMPER STICKERS! $5 each benefits our after-school program expenses. Limited supplies are still available at Jamestown School or by calling Laura @ (303) 545-5502. Great gifts for friends and family near and far, as well as excellent vehicle & instrument case decorations! Thank you for your support!

Just to add to the discussion from a driver of a front-wheel drive Honda, sometimes I haven't been able to get up Mesa and have to use Andersen, which gets more sun. Just ask Rowan and Quinn about the scary slides and the pushing they've had to endure!

Sorry that happened to you Chris. You're right...it is dangerous when we're not all on the same page.

In the past, we've always instituted a school-wide agreement to travel UP MESA when approaching the school (for either pick-up or drop-off) and DOWN ANDERSEN when leaving. This has worked well in the past, except it hasn't been instituted town-wide, so we still run the risk of meeting someone on either road who doesn't know this policy.

I think it would be a good idea to bring it to the town, but CLOSING ANDERSEN, as was proposed, would only force everyone to go up AND down Mesa, which would also be dangerous. I would totally support a one-way direction for everyone, if the town would agree. As for the walkers, I think that if there is ANY CONCERN WHATSOEVER about safety, either supervised or on their own, then parents should reconsider allowing their kids to walk to school.

Just my two cents from a direct observer of many near-miss accidents on the corner of Andersen.

Good morning everyone,

It would be very wise for us to pick a rationale -- any rationale -- for driving up to the school and back, and agree to abide by it. I might easily have gone off the (Mesa Street) hill this morning with two children in the car, because someone decided to plunge down when I had already started up.

It seems that there's more confusion when the weather is bad. Would reversing the flow of traffic make it easier for most of our cars to get up the hill?

Could we put this to a vote? School-community or full-community? Or just request that the town mandate a one-way circle? Now that we have many more children at the school, it's really unsafe. We will all feel a lot of remorse if there's an accident and a child is hurt!

Thanks,

Chris

Let's just keep spreading it around!

Yay Everyone! But I've been checking the mail and still no chili? (kidding) Well stated Sal. And from very far away is the Flynn Family who misses this gem of a town...Jimtown. "Yeah!" says Riley. STRIPMIME_JOINLINES

Only one thing endures

Aside from the technical (sound) difficulties and periodic set design glitches (my deepest apologies!), a great time seemed to be had by all! SPECIAL THANKS to Martha Russo, Kristi Rutledge, Jennifer Lucas, and Garbo for all your help throughout the evening!

Next fall, Drama Club hopes to team up with JAM's CHILDREN'S THEATER as well as explore the drama of film by creating a small-town minor motion picture! Stay tuned and as always, THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ONGOING SUPPORT!

Drama Club invites you, our commUNITY, to attend our year-end VARIETY SHOW featuring skits, dances, and other goodies created and performed by the Camp Jim kids this Wednesday, May 23rd at 6 p.m. SHARP in Jamestown School's gym. Be there and laugh yourself SILLY!

Camp Jimtown is REJOICING this week as we raised $1,263.10 from the Rummage Sale!!!! Hence, ALL of our expenses are covered for next year, including rent, licensing fees, and the biggie liability insurance (and then some)! The following "THANK YOU" messages come from the CHILDREN, as well as from the depths of my heart as there are no words to truly express the immense, intense appreciation and love I feel toward the people of this commUNITY...

This event would not have happened without the inspiration, hard work, and long hours of LAURA CASCARDI. I can't thank you enough, Laura, but I swear I will find a way! Also, special thanks to EVERYONE who helped out by donating and/or buying goods, working a shift, sorting and organizing items, loading the leftovers into personal vehicles to take to other places, and impressively making sure the Town Hall was completely cleaned up by SUNDAY EVENING!!! These kind, generous folks include (but are not limited to) JAM for allowing us to carry on this great tradition as a FUNdraiser for the next generation of JAMmers, Town of Jamestown for allowing us use of the hall in the midst of pending construction plans, Laura Cascardi, Rudiger, Kate & Julien Schmidt, Beth Brotherton, Kristi Rutledge, Laura Cascardi, Julia Taylor, Colorado Friendship (Mark & Barbara Olsen), Laura Cascardi, Catherine Davis, Denise Straus, Laura Cascardi, Amy Gage, Kael Davis, Deanna, Rainbow, Katya & kids, Chris Craigo & Anna Swarts, Henry Mans, Laura Cascardi, and anyone I may have missed (Laura Cascardi)!

Rest assured, the best way to truly express our gratitude is to continue the the Camp Jimtown mission of "providing UNITY in our commUNITY!" Be on the lookout for more events and programs that include everyone as we head into the celebration of our 5TH ANNIVERSARY next fall!!! As always, THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ONGOING SUPPORT!!!

The RUMMAGING has begun! Bring your stuff to our drop-off area inside the Town Hall every night this week from 6-8 p.m.! We've already accumulated some excellent items for the actual sale on Saturday and Sunday! Thanks to all who donated so far!

In all fairness, PRE-SALE SHOPPING IS NOT ALLOWED...except to the kind folks who sign up and donate their time to work a 2-hour shift in this week preceding the sale. SIGN-UP NOW at the Merc or school lobby as there are only two 2-hour shifts available per day!

There's good stuff to be had down there and it's really fun mingling with the neighbors!

The RUMMAGE SALE is here! Donations of items IN GOOD CONDITION will be gratefully accepted at the Town Hall on Sunday, April 29th from 12-2 p.m. AND every night this week from 6-8 p.m. Please do not leave items if no one is there to receive them. Once again, we can NOT accept mattresses, tires, large furniture or appliances, building materials, damaged items, vehicles, hazardous waste, trash, or recycling.

The event will be next Saturday AND Sunday, May 5th & 6th from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Also, we still need volunteers to work 2 hour shifts at the event, so please sign up in the Merc or Jamestown School lobby if you can help! Proceeds benefit Camp Jimtown's expenses for next year. See you there!

There is now a sign-up sheet located in the Merc and the Jamestown School lobby for volunteers to help out at the upcoming RUMMAGE SALE! There are 3 ways to help...receiving items in the Town Hall the week before, working at the event in 2-hour shifts, and taking car/truckloads of leftover items to shelters or thrift stores the week after. Allow me emphasize how FUN this sale is...it's a time for neighbors to get together and pass on their favorite used items to other neighbors while making money for a good local cause (proceeds benefit our after-school program's expenses for next year...ultimately our mountain children). In the past, the Rummage Sale has even inspired talk of writing a play based on the event with all the goofy conversations, characters, and items that come about! It's truly a down-home, fun commUNITY event and we hope you all can be involved!

Thanks to our wonderful bakers, patrons, and kid salesfolks, we raised $270.07 at our Spring Bake Sale! Special thanks to the commUNITY bakers, including Carl, Beth Brotherton, Holly Mann, Kael Davis, Catherine Davis, the mysterious brownie baker, and all the Camp Jim families for the deliciously tasty treats!

NOW, it's time to do some spring cleaning for our final FUNdraiser that benefits our program expenses for next year...reintroducing the mountainwide RUMMAGE SALE! Saturday, May 5th AND Sunday, May 6th in JimTown Hall from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Donations of items IN GOOD CONDITION ONLY will be gratefully accepted starting Sunday, April 29th from 12-2 p.m. AND Monday, April 30th THROUGH Friday, May 4th from 6-8 p.m. or by appointment. We reserve the right to refuse any item and we absolutely CAN NOT accept large furniture, mattresses, tires, damaged items, hazardous waste, trash, recycling, building materials, large appliances (like refrigerators, microwaves, washers, dryers, propane tanks, toilets, etc.), or anything that would cost money to dispose of. A bulletin board will be available for patrons to advertise any items we can't accept. Any items remaining after the sale will be donated to local shelters and thrift stores or may find a home at Jimtown's annual Dumpster Day on Saturday, May 19th.

So, clean out your closets and join us in TRADING OUR STUFF! Call Laura @ (303) 545-5502 with any questions or to volunteer for this event. Special thanks to JAM for allowing us to put on this FUNdraiser this year!

VOLUNTEER NEEDED (desperately!) at Camp Jimtown's Drama Club every Wednesday from 3-4 p.m. to work with a group of kids creating set design for our upcoming VARIETY SHOW on May 23rd! These are simple murals made out of paper and cardboard, but the most important part is to keep the kids busy while I direct those who are practicing their skits. Please call Laura @ (303) 545-5502 if you can help out.

This commUNITY seriously ROCKS!!! Our deepest THANKS to everyone for spreading the LOVE and contributing to our Bake Sale, which raised a whoppin' $319.93 toward next year's program expenses!!!

socks...nonetheless, keep an eye out for postings of various
lost items I find along the way.

HAPPY 2007 from the Mothership Kid Party! And what a success it was! I hope everyone enjoyed our noise fest at midnight (east coast time!) and I'm proud to say that everyone was snug in their bags by 2 a.m. (that's midnight, our time!). EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS to my helper and savior, Allie, to Chad for spinning up a musical storm, to Araya for inspiring the kids to dance their patooties off, to Gary Dunn for the use of his strobe light & fog machine, and to my friend Jill for her disco ball. Finally, I must say that I am so impressed and deeply moved by how respectful each and every kid was to my home and my family. They were extremely well behaved, got along great, and followed all directions. NICE JOB to the parents and other influences who have raised such wonderful and fun young mountain folk. It was a true joy to host such a rockin' party! Peace, love and happiness to all in this and every year!

Deb the class is on. Please call Claudia if you are interested. 303-459-0208

Let's try that again.... I am perhaps interested in the CPR class. How full/empty is the class to date? When will you decide if you are commencing/canceling? Please reply. Thanks.

Hello All,

Laura called and was going to post this correction. The CPR/First Aid class for adult/infant/child is actually on the 4th of February from 9 am to 3 pm. No books are neccessary but bring a notebook and a pen and pencil and $20.00. The cards are $4.00 a piece and this time I need to charge more due to additional equioment replacement costs. There is a written test and practical hands on manikin training.
The class will be at 119 Jed Smith Road (Jack's new house). I can take 10 people.

Thanks and sorry for the confusion about the date.

I will cancel the class if I do not have at least 6 participants.
Claudia

PSA Weather Alert
Good morning, y'all,
It has been a loooong time since my last PSA, despite some great snows above 9K in the last two months. Too many downslope wind storms have left even the higher foothills below par (with the exception of good spill-over pockets like Nederland and Peaceful Valley), and at the base of the foothills, Boulder and Fort Collins have not even.....

Hi Friends...surgery's over and all went very well. After a fidgety week of bedrest, we got a clean bill of health and mama can start easing back into life next week. Baby Williams is doing just fine and we finally feel like we MIGHT ACTUALLY be having a baby this July!!! Thanks from the bottom of our hearts (and bellies) for all the kindness we've received, including coverage of our jobs, delicious meals, well-wishes, prayers, movies, visits, hugs, etc. We live in an extraordinary commUNITY and WE LOVE YOU!!

To all our dear friends & family:



It's hard to believe that only a year ago, we were headed to the hospital to lose our baby and now, such a short time later, we're headed for surgery to save this one. Tomorrow, a cerclage will be placed to ensure that we carry our baby to term, which will be done by the BEST doctors with the MOST experience in this realm. I will be in the hospital one night, then on complete bedrest for one week and laying low the following week. If the surgery heals well without infection or other problems, I will be able to return to normal activities, including work, by the end of this month. Hence, I won't be on bedrest throughout the whole pregnancy (unless something goes drastically wrong) and I won't need to take any inhibitive medication. Baby is healthy and normal size, due July 3rd. Mama and Papa are EXTREMELY RELIEVED that the immediate road ahead may be a little easier than first anticipated.



From the bottom of our hearts, we THANK ALL OF THE PEOPLE who have come forward so far to help us through this hard time. Thank you to ALL of the folks who solved my first huge dilemma by volunteering to work at Camp Jimtown so that January is fully covered and the program can stay open. Thank you to all of the parents for being willing to work within such a plan. Thank you to our BUD-DAY, Chad, for covering Tom's shifts at his job. Thank you to Cary Bush and her cohorts for ALREADY organizing meals at my bedside! Thank you to Andee and Amy for providing such strong support for me during these past few weeks of worry. I could go on and on...and I probably will in subsequent notes!



Suffice it to say right now that we appreciate EVERY BIT of love and support that EVERY PERSON has sent and will be sending our way, including good deeds, good vibes, prayers, etc. We'll keep you posted on our progress and after the first few initial days of recovery, visitors are always welcome. There's even been talk of a "BEDFEST" sometime in the future!



Peace and love from Laura, Tom, and BABY Williams

I attended a District Parent Council meeting last night. The meeting covered the topics of Referenda C and D, the Mill Levy Override presentation, and the School Board Candidates forum. I won't go into the Referenda C and D and the Mill Levy other than to say I am for them. It stirs up controversy even in my own home.
The candidates were asked 6 questions. One of which was: What is your commitment to keeping the Mountain Schools open?
Leslie Smith said, This is a difficult topic, comprehensive education. I am concerned about the viability of the small mountain schools. They are expensive to run. We need to work towards trying to find a creative solution. I can't say I would keep them open.
SOL HALPERN on the other hand said this, Jamestown and Goldhill must be exempt from closure. Budget is priority, however a town isn't a town with out a school. This tears at the social fabric.
I hope that we all get out and vote for Sol Halpern!!!
The other two candidates are running unopposed and supported the Mountain Schools.

Ines et al.,

To follow along with most of the other elementary school mission statements, I guess I would recommend brevity. Seemed like the length of the mission statements being considered was the result of adding a lot of "how" we would achieve the mission into the statement.

I noticed on the web sites for the various schools that the mission statement should focus on the "product" - on describing what kind of student we want to produce.

On the web site, we could add below the mission statement how we would do that -- by using an integrated arts or place-based curriculum, by employing multi-age learning, by partnering with parents and community, by recognizing individual needs, by providing a safe, caring, and stimulating environment, etc..

Joe

Thanks Dedra for synthesizing the mission statement I came up with and adding your own words too! Have I met you yet?
 
To all who see this and have interest: We met at our PTO meeting last night and discussed what we liked about the misson statement examples we have so far. We are going to need more time to revise it a bit more. We have until October. Perhaps one evening we can meet: Joe Ryan, Dedra (if interested), David? and myself and anyone else interested in finalizing our mission. Not sure when or how yet but we can stay in touch!!

So the floor is still open for anyone to contribute any ideas!! Marlene, our principal, and I agreed that we need to keep or put in there "integrated arts curriculum" since multi-age learning definitely succeeds around a theme that is integrated throught writing, reading, math, art, etc. It makes sense and is what my background of education is in for me to implement such a curriculum. We'll probably omit "place-based" since there was confusion as to what that is and replace it with "community" somehow. What I meant by place-based education is using the community in our studies like inviting a local miner to come in and talk to us, hiking up to the mine and fitting that into Colorado history, exploring the flora/fauna and ecosystems of the foothills right where our school is! Connecting with the commmunity and natural environment right around us and addressing real problems or projects that students can be a part of resolving.
Okay I'm rambling...that's it for now..........Ines
Wow, we have 10 school days left!!!! I can't believe it!

Hi Asa and David and Sal!
Wow, I finally am in on this community email thing! Sal and David, thanks so much for working on the slide show! It is awesome! Hi Asa! We still miss you guys! And David, I like what you have so far with the mission statement. I'm sending mine to Joe too. Here it is for now. It's kind of long which we'll definitely cut shorter.

THE MISSION OF JAMESTOWN ELEMENTARY NURTURES THE CONTINUING GROWTH OF CHILDREN"S KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THEMSELVES AND THEIR WORLD. OUR SCHOOL PROGRAM PROVIDES A SAFE, CARING AND STIMULATING ENVIRONMENT WHERE MULTI-AGE LEARNING FLOURISHES. WE RECOGNIZE THAT EACH CHILD IS UNIQUE AND ACCOMODATE THE BROAD RANGE OF CHILDREN"S NEEDS THROUGH AN INTEGRATED PLACE-BASED CURRICULUM THAT ENGAGES THE STUDENTS WITH THE SCHOOL"S COMMUNITY AND THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. THE WHOLE CHILD IS HONORED AT OUR SCHOOL AS WE USE OUR HEADS, HANDS, AND HEARTS AND DEVELOP INTO INTELLIGENT, COMPASSIONATE and CONFIDENT HUMAN BEINGS. TEACHERS AND PARENTS ARE ACTIVE PARTNERS IN THE CHILD"S EDUCATION AND TOGETHER WE COLLABORATE TO CREATE A CLIMATE OF RESPECT, SUCCESS and JOY NECESSARY FOR LIFELONG LEARNING.

This is what I have so far! I feel I'd like to include the words: place-based education, community, integrated, successful, lifelong learning, diversity or multicultural, whole, nurture and growth........

Okay, any feedback?

I don't know if there have been any suggestions for the Mission Statement yet. I thought that this might be a good place to toss around some ideas. I put together something, what do you think?

The Mission at Jamestown Elementary School is to nurture and take advantage of the unique setting of the multi-age classroom. It is to recognize and encourage the characteristics of each student as an individual and as a member the school community. Our children will be encouraged to draw on all available resources from classmates, teachers, involved parents and their community to prepare themselves mentally and physically as students and citizens.

Here's BVSD's Mission (ours is meant to parallel): The Boulder Valley School District challenges students to achieve their academic, creative and physical potential in order to become responsible, contributing citizens.

Here's another example: Mission Statement:
At Aspen Creek K-8, we challenge, educate and empower our students by inspiring individual success. We will build a strong academic foundation in a safe learning environment, while encouraging ethical and social responsibility. Our child-centered partnership with families and community creates positive memories, nurtures dreams, and promotes life-long learning.

Maybe we can work this out here and relieve Joe of working out the whole deal.

Riley misses everyone so much. He is planning a visit in August so will be around. Please tell Maya that we still need to work on Flat Stanley. He's been sitting on our counter for way too long.

Love you all, Asa

Looks like Pattio posted this message to Bar-K QT but meant for it to go here:

Hello Jamestown! Pat Willis from the band Patio that played at the Merc recently. I just wanted to thank you all for such a warm welcome, warm being the operative word considering how cold and snowy it was that night. I had resigned myself to a slow evening when all of a sudden we had a real nice, receptive crowd. Laura and Justin, who were working that night, really made us feel welcome with their smiling, ever helpful ways. Coming from Boulder, you just don't get to see a whole lot of that kind of goodness, especially in the cutthroat music scene. Thanks for the show Joey. At the risk of sounding like I am JUST here to promote a show, we are fortunate enough to be able to come back on Dec 18th, which I am very excited for as we met many great people that night and I look forward to seeing all again. We'll make it something of a Christmas show yah?! So again, thank you Jamestown, can't wait to get back. pat io

I've put together some flyers that we talked about posting around the various target neighborhoods for potential Open Enrollment students. They'll be at the school today so if you're able to pick them up with the kids that would be great. We need to get them out ASAP and I apologize for taking so long to put them together. Take what you think you can post but I did them off my printer so there's not 100's of them. If folks could let everyone know on the QT where they've posted them we can be sure to have covered the area.

Thanks, David

So I'm trying to get some stuff put together for the Open Enrollment day. I'm going to put together a flyer and hopefully have that by Friday for folks to take out and post. I've also updated the website, sorry Joe, I've been struggling to get things sorted out with the Webmaster at BVSD and finally just did it. Here's the link: http://www.bvsd.k12.co.us/schools/jamestown/index.html I would welcome any suggestions as to improvements/additions.

Anything else we need to do? I don't know if we want to try and have someone available on the 1st or just deal with a visitor if they come. Maybe we should make it a parent day to participate at school generally. Take shifts? Thanks, David

Hi guys this is our email address : brr@4dv.net, just thinking of you all today- Ninoska

David,

Sorry I forgot to call you back. It is 11:15p now and I didn't want to call so late. Please call me on my cell tomorrow at 303.859.3089 and we can work out the details. Talk to you soon.

Notice: Very late notice: Whole Foods is doing a fundraiser for Jamestown tomorrow. They are selling meals from 4-6 and the money (all of it?) goes to Jamestown. They've asked for some volunteers to be there at 3 to help. Appearently Gold Hill made $500 last week, so it could be an easy couple of hours. I'm going to try and make it. They said that kids really help the enthusiasm. Give me a call for more info. I'd love the help. 459-0203

Wow! Thanks for the info Sal.

Hello Everyone. With the new year comes new challenges and one of ours will be carpooling to Boulder as Max will probably(hopefully) be attending Whittier next school year.
It seems obvious that carpooling would be a welcomed "feature" of our community so we have signed up at the best rated online carpooling site http://erideshare.com (our id is "DeVincenzo") It takes about 2 minutes to sign up and I encourage you to consider this too. Its prett
