⛈️ What a day for the Pride of the Park! 🎶
The Pride of the Park Marching Band competed in their first official competition of the season on Saturday at the Legend Marching Festival in Parker. After multiple lightning and severe weather delays, including taking shelter during a major storm just as they were preparing to take the field, our band finally performed four hours after their scheduled performance time!
And they did it! The Pride of the Park brought home 3rd place in the 2A division! 🥉
But what we're most proud of goes beyond their placement. We're incredibly proud of how our students handled a long, stressful day and performed under unusual and less-than-ideal circumstances with patience, grit, and smiles. They showed resilience, supported one another, became a stronger team, and represented Woodland Park with pride.
Sometimes the marching band shapes the moment, but on Saturday, it was the moment that shaped the marching band.
Way to go, Pride of the Park, we're proud of who you are! 💚

🍂 Why do leaves change color in the fall? Students in Ms. Snook’s class are exploring the science behind the beautiful colors of autumn!
Through a Chromatography Lab, they are are investigating the different pigments found in leaves and discovering how these pigments contribute to the vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows we see each fall.
Science is in full color in Ms. Snook’s classroom! 🍁

🌟 WPSD STAFF SPOTLIGHT | Meghan Snook 🌟
We’re excited to continue our WPSD Staff Spotlight Series by celebrating Meghan Snook, SSN Teacher at Woodland Park Jr./Sr. High School! 💚🖤
Mrs. Snook's passion for this work started when she was young, going to work with her mom, who worked with adults with significant needs. Meghan says she fell in love with the work and knew it was what she wanted to do. 🥰
Outside of school, Meghan enjoys gardening, reading, long walks, and working out. And a fun fact? She loves all things spooky and Halloween — so much that her life and home are spooky year-round! 🎃👻
📣Meghan says one of the things that makes her proud of WPSD is that “we are resilient and strong,” and her advice for students is just as good: “Just breathe — in the end, you’ll figure out what you want out of life.”
Thank you, Meghan, for the creativity, care, and heart you bring to our students each day. We’re lucky to have you as part of the Panther family! 💚🖤

🚴♂️🚴♀️ The Mountain Bike Team had a strong showing at their first race, giving them plenty of momentum and a great sense of where they are as they head toward their next competition in Eagle.
The JV boys had five riders take to the course, and everyone put down strong lap times in a highly competitive field of 97 riders. 💪
The JV girls were also well represented, with Riley Holsapple finishing an impressive 11th! 👏
We were especially excited to see our two new freshman riders, Ben Rexford and Sydney Holsapple, compete in their first time-trial race. Both put together solid performances and will earn middle-of-the-pack call-up positions at our next competition.
A great first step for the team, and we’re excited to watch them keep building, improving, and having fun this season!

🚁 Students in Mr. Schultz's STEAM Video Production class took learning to new heights today as they explored the world of drones!
Students learned about drone flight rules and what it takes to earn a Part 107 pilot license for commercial drone flying. After getting hands-on experience flying drones, they discussed the many careers where drone technology is transforming the way professionals work — from photography and filmmaking to construction, agriculture, emergency response, and more.
Experiences like these help students connect classroom learning to real-world career opportunities and emerging technology pathways. 🎥✨

🎶 Congratulations to sophomore Alexis Bateman on being selected for the Colorado All-State Concert Band!
Alexis spent three incredible days at the University of Northern Colorado last week alongside more than 200 of the state's top high school musicians, rehearsing and performing a beautiful concert at the Union Colony Civic Center in Greeley, CO.
Selection to All-State is no small feat — it requires competitive auditions, exceptional musical skill, and a true commitment to performance excellence. We are so proud of you, Alexis! 🎼⭐

🎶✨ Choir Festival Results Are In! ✨🎶
Mr. Hemingson's Advanced Jr. High Choir, Select Ladies Ensemble, and Madrigals competed in the annual Southern Colorado Large Group Choir Festival yesterday and the results are brag-worthy!
🏆 Advanced Jr. High Choir earned a SUPERIOR (I) rating for their performance — including the 2nd highest score of the entire day — and an EXCELLENT (II) rating for sight-reading.
🌟 Both the Select Ladies Ensemble and the Madrigals brought home an EXCELLENT (II) rating for their performance and a SUPERIOR (I) rating for sight-reading!
For those unfamiliar with sight-reading: after performing their prepared pieces, each group is handed music they have NEVER seen before and must perform it on the spot for a judge. It is one of the most challenging tests of a choir's musicianship — and our students absolutely rose to the occasion. 🐾
These results are a reflection of the hard work, dedication, and heart that every student has poured into their craft. They represented Woodland Park with class and excellence, and we couldn't be prouder. 💚

Senior Sonia Kettler turned a simple idea into something truly meaningful 💚
To earn her Girl Scout Gold Award—the highest honor in Girl Scouts—Sonia collected approximately 7,400 plastic bottle caps and transformed them into a stunning mural in the Jr/Sr High School commons.
She spent about 8 hours designing and installing the piece, carefully choosing a nature-inspired design to reflect something close to her heart. Even more powerful? The mural is made entirely from plastic waste—materials that too often end up polluting our environment.
Her project is a creative reminder that small actions can lead to big impact 🌎♻️
Way to go, Sonia!
