Family Wellness Summit 2012
April 14, 2012
Now becoming a Cherry Creek Community tradition, the Family Wellness Summit announces the 3rd annual event taking place in April of 2012.
 If you've not been before, it's time to mark your calendar and plan for a great morning of family fun and learning. There are educational games and exercises for the kids, interesting demonstrations, free health and fitness exams, and great information - all designed to empower families toward greater levels of well being.
Just as importantly, this is an event that you can do with your children. It's truly a family oriented activity - that young and old will enjoy. Again this year, there will also be a 9Health
Fair at Grandview on April 14th.

2011 First American State Bank Fitness Festival proceeds presented to CAP |
|
On Monday, November 14, at the monthly CCSD Parents’ Council
meeting, Nick Lepetsos, President of First American State Bank (FASB), turned
over a check for $90,000 to CAP. Nick
thanked the school leaders for their help with promoting the event in their
communities, which resulted in nearly 3,000 participants at the race this year. Glenna Kelly from Kaiser Permanente, the
Healthy Lifestyle sponsor of the FASB Fitness Festival, was there to express
Kaiser’s continued commitment to the partnership with CCSD and First American
State Bank.
CAP, as a non-profit partner of the CCSD, allocates the
money to the CCSD Wellness Office to fund programs for K-12 that help all
students reach their potential. Janise
McNally, CCSD Wellness Coordinator, gave a brief review of some of the programs
that the FASB Fitness Festival proceeds have supported over the past 11
years. These include Positive Behavior
Intervention and Support (elementary and middle), WEB and LINK Crews (middle
and high), Mini-grants for individual schools’ needs (elementary, middle, and
high), Suicide Prevention (middle and high), and Drug/Alcohol/Violence
Prevention (middle and high). This
year’s check brings the total donated to CAP from the FASB Fitness Festival to
over $750,000.

Two dedicated volunteers were honored as Asset Champions by the
Community Asset Project during the Cherry Creek Schools Parents’ Council
meeting on Nov. 14.
 Linda Shaw, who has held dozens of different volunteer positions,
including room mother, team mom, PTO president, Girl Scout troop leader
and committee chair, was recognized for her devoted work on behalf of
students, teachers, parents, and the community at large.
“In the role of PTO president she organized a Rally for Richard to
help a family struggling under the financial burden of caring for a
child with cancer,” said Steve Cohen, a member of the Community Asset
Project Board. “Exceeding the goal to make $10,000, she was able to
negotiate a year’s free rent for the single mother raising Richard and
his brother. To say she made a difference in Richard’s life is an
understatement, but the positive influence she had on the community by
pulling us together was immeasurable.”
 The Community Asset Project also recognized Read Kirkpatrick, a
long-time leader of Boy Scout Troop 127. As Scout Master, Read was
responsible for weekly meetings and monthly outings, including camping
trips.
“The definition of “brave” is taking a large group of 12- to
18-year-old boys away from the comfort of their home and parents, hiking
several miles in the Colorado mountains carrying backpacks, and
spending several nights camping in woods,” said Cohen. “On these
campouts, Read had to act as trail guide, teacher, parent, doctor, and
most importantly mentor. In addition to the fun of the campouts, Read
made sure the scouts learned the importance of giving back to the
community by participating in many service projects.”
