Mary, a member of The Vanguard School’s Class of 2017, is a

second year art student with artistic talent beyond her years of

experience. Her self-portrait, featured on the cover of this

publication, was completed with charcoal and white pastel on

gray paper.

Mary’s self-portrait is one of the eight pieces that will make up

her senior portfolio. This portfolio will then be entered into the

Colorado Scholastics Art and Writing competition in January

2017.

The Vanguard School is a tuition-free, K-12 charter school with a classically based, college-preparatory curriculum designed to

develop academic excellence, virtue, and leadership.

The mission of The Vanguard School is to help guide

students in development of their character and

academic potential through academically rigorous,

content-rich educational programs.

Since opening in 1995 at what is now the K-3

campus, we have been achieving this mission on

behalf of our students and continually working to find ways to improve

our efforts and results. As we have done that work over the last

twenty-two years, we have made a significant mark not only in the

lives of our students, but in the neighborhood in which we come

together to teach and learn.

Ten years ago, we expanded out of our original building and broke

ground on the Corona Campus, just an open field at the time, to place a

modular building that would be the new home for our junior high and

the original building for our high school. We had only approximately

one hundred junior high students and twenty-seven ninth graders

occupy that building that year, but it was the beginning of a much

larger plan to grow a brand new high school and expand the offerings

of our school to accommodate more students and to support more

programs. Now we have over eight hundred students in grades 4 -12

on this campus, learning and developing their intellect, character, and

leadership through a wide range of activities.

The recent groundbreaking for our new junior high building is, of

course, a significant milestone in our efforts to continually improve the

learning space of our students. It represents the exciting transition from

months of detailed planning to the physical work of preparing the land

and constructing a building, a unique concrete monolithic dome.

The 20,000 square foot dome we are building promises to be an

extraordinarily durable building that offers efficiencies in layout as

well as operating costs. It will provide excellent teaching and learning

space in the form of twelve new classrooms plus two fully equipped

science labs for our junior high students. The concrete walls and

domed shape of these kinds of structures have been shown to withstand

hurricanes, tornados, and even junior high students. Those same

features and the internal volume of the building make it extremely cost

effective to heat and cool, while the round shape and layout make the

circulation and functioning very efficient. We are placing it next to the

high school on our campus to create synergy with our high school while

allowing easy access to the Vanguard Stadium and a proposed new gym

that will eventually be built directly to the south.

A project of this size takes the efforts of more than an individual or

two; therefore, it is important to acknowledge those most responsible

for the creation of this building:

Our architect for this project is Michael Murray, and the general

contractor is Andrew South. Both of these men bring extensive

experience with monolithic domes and have worked on several

projects together.

Wayne Timura, the project manager, is no stranger to Vanguard.

Wayne has supported our school through a variety of projects for

over a decade, including finding the land on the Corona Campus

and advising us on every structure that has been built on it.

Our new Operations Director, Jeff Yocum, joined our team in June

and has already played an enormous role in helping us move this

project forward.

Pat Agee, our Facilities Director, has been at Vanguard for nearly

ten years. He knows the ins and outs of all of our facilities and

brings outstanding knowledge and experience to this process.

This effort would also not be possible without the ongoing support of

the District 12 School Board and administration.

Our own Vanguard School Board and administration have dedicated

hundreds of hours in detailed planning, deliberating, and refining to set

direction, secure funding, and prioritize our efforts.

Page 6: Volume 22 Issue 2 The Vanguard Voice - Charter School€¦ · The Vanguard Voice . ... and constructing a building, a unique concrete monolithic dome. The 20,000 square foot dome

Business Manager Diane Borre was instrumental in working with D.A.

Davidson to secure a refinance at a very favorable rate that allowed us

take new money out to create this space without increasing our annual

debt service.

Finally, I want to applaud the programming efforts of our team of board

members, administration, teachers, and students who spent hours

discussing all that we wanted out of this building and collaborating to

prioritize those wants and thinking creatively to find ways to achieve

the desired results. Our students and teachers will benefit from their

insight and thoroughness for years to come.

Similar to ten years ago, the creation of this building is the first step in

the most recent long-term strategic plan. It is a plan that focuses on

achieving our mission by:

developing the necessary infrastructure to support our growing

demand,

refining our curriculum to more fully benefit from a classical

structure,

strengthening the critical partnership with parents and other

community members, and most importantly,

attracting, developing, and retaining the very best teachers for our

students.

Our group of ground breakers for our ceremony represented the

members of our team who helped create this plan and who will benefit

from these efforts:

Board president and parent, Dan Geoffroy,

Myself (a long time parent)

Jeff Yocum representing administrative leadership,

Page 7: Volume 22 Issue 2 The Vanguard Voice - Charter School€¦ · The Vanguard Voice . ... and constructing a building, a unique concrete monolithic dome. The 20,000 square foot dome

Long-time junior high teacher and parent, Cindy Duff,

and most importantly, one of our students, Mia Chavez.

Mia is one of the outstanding seventh grade students at The Vanguard

School. She will get to use this new facility a year from now, and she

represents all of her classmates for whom this building is designed. She

also represents her eighth grade peers, some of whom helped with the

programming of this building, and all of whom leave this facility as a

legacy.

Mia reminds us that this effort, like all of our efforts, is intended to

support The Vanguard School’s mission to help guide students in

development of their character and academic potential.

While we have taken the next steps in our long-term plan and the first

physical actions in building a new permanent classroom structure, what

we are actually doing by beginning construction is highlighting our

continuing efforts to permanently build into our students a foundation

of excellence in academics and character that will set the course for the

rest of their lives.

Teacher Profile Elizabeth Bowman, Secondary Latin, Language Department Chair

Elizabeth Bowman, high school

Latin teacher, has been with Van-

guard for seven years. After grad-

uating from Middlebury College

with a degree in Classics in 2009,

she had a long-term substitute job

teaching English in Michigan. In

the Fall of 2010, she moved to

Colorado to teach Latin at The

Vanguard School.

When Ms. Bowman isn’t teaching,

she can be found supporting our

music department by accompany-

ing them on the piano for their mu-

sicals and concerts.

Why is it important for students

to study and learn Latin? There are so many reasons, but

among my favorite is the simplest:

Latin is an awesome brain

workout. In class each day, stu-

dents learn new vocabulary and

grammar rules and then apply

those to translation. Each sentence

is a puzzle, and in figuring out

what each sentence says using the

rules that they have learned and the

practice they have done, the stu-

dents strengthen their critical and

logical thinking skills.

Aside from the language element

of your classes, what additional

knowledge do students take

away? Our Latin curriculum (Latin for the

New Millenium) provides fantastic

avenues to the study of the culture

and history of ancient Rome. Each

chapter reading is an adapted ex-

cerpt from an ancient Latin text—

so already in Latin I, our students

have learned basic historical infor-

mation about the Roman monarchy

and republic, as well as biograph-

ical information about Plautus and

Terence, Cicero, and Caesar. We

are able to build on that every year.

Page 9: Volume 22 Issue 2 The Vanguard Voice - Charter School€¦ · The Vanguard Voice . ... and constructing a building, a unique concrete monolithic dome. The 20,000 square foot dome

Additionally, the Latin II and III

students explore topics in the con-

tinued use of Latin in the Middle

Ages and Renaissance. Latin re-

mained the primary language of

academia until the 1700's, and our

students are introduced to some of

the key thinkers and writers—

Petrarch, Erasmus, Thomas More,

and others—working with Latin

long after the fall of Rome. Last year, you and Ms. Grey

took students to Europe over

Spring Break. During that time,

what connections were students

able to make between what they

had learned in class and what

they saw and learned about in

Greece and Italy? There's just nothing like actually

being physically present in the

places we've discussed so often in

class. The history is so much more

vivid and vibrant when you're

standing before the temple of

Apollo at Delphi or looking out

over the Roman Forum from the

basement of the Capitoline Muse-

um in Rome. By the time students

are in Latin III, they've had a com-

prehensive survey of Roman histo-

ry and archaeology—but it all be-

comes much more real when stu-

dents are able to connect facts and

figures to the physical places.

Outside of Latin, what academic

interests do you have?

My sophomore year of college I

took a course in astronomy and

loved it. I worked as a TA for the

course the next two years, and the

observation deck on the roof of the

science building was one of my

favorite spots on campus. A little

bit of background in astronomy

helps in appreciating even more

the many excellent books and tele-

vision series out there about as-

tronomy and our planet--things

like Carl Sagan's Cosmos, for in-

stance. One of these years, I’m

hopeful that we'll get a clear night

on the high school retreat so that

we can do some stargazing with

the staff and students.

When you have free time, what

hobbies do you enjoy? I love to cook and to garden, and it

is even better when I am able to

cook with veggies from my gar-

den! Ivan and I also enjoy hiking

and skiing. A day doesn't get

much better than when it includes

the Pallivicini lift at A-Basin on a

sunny winter day.

Vanguard Athletics Junior High Highlights

Cross Country

This year’s cross country team in-

cluded mostly newcomers, with a

few seasoned runners thrown into

the mix. Towards the end of the

season, however, the two were in-

distinguishable based on how

much growth and commitment had

evolved in each athlete.

Coach Miller and Coach Custer

were proud of all of the runners

and noted that everyone’s times

improved throughout the season, a

remarkable indication of their ded-

ication and hard work.

Soccer

Our junior high players came from

a variety of skill levels. While

some were completely new to the

game, others had been playing for

years. The common denominator

among them all, however, was that

each player gave the team one

hundred percent of his effort dur-

ing each game and practice.

Our A team finished at five wins,

three losses, and one tie in regular

season play, earning them the third

seed in the league playoffs and

where they ended for the season.

Overall, they earned eighty-three

total points (goals and assists) dur-

ing league play with two “hat

tricks” and several shut-outs by

their defense.

Our B team finished at three

wins and zero losses, showing

the strength we have building

for our upcoming team next

year.

Volleyball

Thirty-nine girls divid-

ed into four squads

made up this year’s

junior high girls’ vol-

leyball team. After

classes each day, the

players committed

themselves to giving

one hundred percent

during the practices or

games that were scheduled, show-

ing outstanding mental toughness,

commitment, and team synergy

throughout it all.

Our A team finished with a 6-6

record. The season highlight came

during a match against the number

three-ranked Colorado Springs

School. Although Vanguard lost

the first set, they came back to win

the second, and then took victory

over the third, coming together to

work as a team toward the ultimate

goal of victory over CSS!

Our B team posted a successful

record of 8-3 due in part to the

dominant serving of Sophia Bred-

der, the accurate passing of Mia

Chavez, and the aggressive net

play of Zoe Kilimann. The C

team’s scoring, led by

Rhylee Bramhall and Aubree

Lang, helped them secure their

victories. The C1 team finished 6-

2, and the C2 posted a 3-5 record.

Habitat Cohort Day Cheryl Holling and Dawn Khederian

One of the advantages of the Core

Knowledge curriculum we utilize

here at Vanguard is that children

are exposed to ideas early and then

build on those concepts in later

grades. The first and ninth grades

were recently able to explore habi-

tats together.

This fall, first grade studied differ-

ent types of habitats and food

chains. Meanwhile, ninth graders

studied the scientific method, bio-

chemistry, and ecosystems. On

Wednesday, October 5, the first

and ninth grades were able to meet

in the wooded habitat on school

property to gather firsthand

knowledge of habitats and food

chains.

Mrs. Holling and the ninth grade

students set up five stations in the

woods, on the grass, and in the

high school biology lab. Fresh-

men buddied up with the first

graders and led them through

meaningful discovery, exploration,

and experimentation.

One of the most memorable sta-

tions involved the first grade stu-

dents, or baby turkeys as they

were known for this activity, and

their freshmen buddy, or mama

turkey, scavenging for bugs.

When a hungry coyote came

along, the turkeys had to scatter!

The kids learned that looking for

food while trying to avoid being

something else’s food is hard

work!

In the biology lab, high school

students helped first graders learn

Page 13: Volume 22 Issue 2 The Vanguard Voice - Charter School€¦ · The Vanguard Voice . ... and constructing a building, a unique concrete monolithic dome. The 20,000 square foot dome

to use a microscope, prepare a

slide, study the slide, and record

their observations. First graders

were astounded to see what lives

in pond water! Other students

built a choice chamber and con-

ducted an experiment with iso-

pods to determine isopod prefer-

ences. Recording the data in a

graph gave a clear indication of

their isopods' tastes.

The day was a huge success! In

addition to deepening science and

math skills, the students connected

with fellow Vanguard students in a

meaningful way. Our first graders

are excited to one day be part of

our high school, and they look for-

ward to seeing their freshmen

friends again soon!

The ninth graders also enjoyed the

service-learning opportunity. In

addition to being impressed with

the energy and curiosity of their

first grade partners, this activity

also helped solidified their under-

standing of ecosystem relation-

ships because they were involved

in guiding the younger students

through the habitat activities.

Educational Science Field Trips Taking the Classroom on the Road

An education from The Vanguard

School involves more than just

teaching children to read and study

from books. While this element in

education is of utmost importance,

teachers know that educational

opportunities also exist outside of

the classroom, and allowing stu-

dents the chance to apply their

book knowledge within a different

and new environment can create a

deeply enriching experience for

them.

In September, kindergarten teacher

Amy Stephens traveled with stu-

dents to Bear Creek Nature Center.

After learning about plants and

animals, visiting the nature center

allowed them to observe and dis-

cuss their lessons, all while apply-

ing it to what they were able to

see, touch, hear, and experience.

This was the first field trip ever for

most students, and each kindergar-

tener came away from the trip with

a greater knowledge of the role

that plants play in providing homes

and habitats for all kinds of living

animals.

Later that month, seventh grade

science students visited the Floris-

sant Fossil Beds National Monu-

ment to complement their geology

unit. This trip supported them in

understanding Colorado’s geologic

history, how our environment has

changed over time, and how they

can use this knowledge to gain

valuable resources for our society

and future generations.

On October 4 and 12, Vanguard

third grade classes took turns visit-

ing Fountain Creek Nature Center

to further their understanding

Kindergarten students listen attentively to naturalists from the Bear Creek Nature Center.

Seventh graders listen to a presentation at the Florissant Fossil Beds National

about habitats as part of their sci-

ence animal classification and

ecology units. During the two and

a half hour hiking expedition and

indoor video learning, students

explored this wetlands habitat that

provides food, water, shelter, and

space for vertebrates like great

blue herons, beavers, and turtles,

as well as cattails, milkweed, and

other plant producers. The stu-

dents observed invertebrate water

bugs from pond water using a

magnifying glass. In addition to

studying the animals and habitats,

students also learned about their

role in the food chain and in caring

for the environment. Third graders

enjoyed being outside and experi-

encing the various plants and ani-

mals that coexist to make Fountain

Creek an “Oasis on the Plains.”

The last day of the first quarter

gave our first grade students an

extra reason to celebrate, as they

took their learning on the road to

the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo! Stu-

dents spent the day exploring the

zoo with their homeroom classes,

making connections between their

Habitat and Food Chain science

unit to the variety of animals

roaming about the zoo.

Students and teachers all enjoyed

themselves and made special

memories together during each

field trip. Taking trips such as

these really highlights the coherent

and aligned curriculum that Van-

guard holds true to. This greatly

benefits our students who return

each year, as they continue to build

upon their knowledge and experi-

ences each year, growing and ma-

turing in their abilities to think

critically and applying their new

lessons and experiences to ones

from the past.

2016 Spirit Week and Homecoming Matthew Herbert, Student Government President

On Monday, October 10, our high

school students kicked off Spirit

Week! An annual tradition, this

week consists of five days during

which students can dress up in var-

ious themes. It also includes our

football tournament, cookout, bon-

fire, and the Homecoming dance.

Anticipated almost as much as the

dress-up days is the annual Van-

guard football tournament. On

Wednesday, students enjoyed the

first two games of this tournament;

the eleventh grade Junior Mints

bested the ninth grade Predators,

and the tenth grade Sophomores

claimed victory over the twelfth

grade NC-17. Students later en-

joyed a cookout and bonded over

burgers and a bonfire.

The championship football game

was held on Friday, with the soph-

omores squaring off against the

Junior Mints. After a highly com-

petitive match, the sophomores

won the championship! On Satur-

day, students returned to school to

enjoy the James Bond and Casino

Royale-themed dance.

The entire week would not have

been possible without the creativi-

ty and dedication from the Student

Government representatives. Their

hard work and dedication showed

by producing a week that was en-

joyed by all.

Neighborhood Clean-Up Day Improving and Giving Back to Our Community

The Vanguard School, partnering

with the Villas in Southgate, St.

Joseph Catholic Church, and Cal-

vary Baptist Church, hosted its

sixth Neighborhood Clean-Up Day

on October 1, 2016. While this

event usually takes place in the

Spring, it was moved to the Fall

this year in an effort to avoid the

torrential downpours that have

been responsible for canceling this

community building and beautify-

ing event for the past two years.

Starting the day out with donuts,

nearly seventy volunteers split into

groups, gathered assignments, and

took off into the neighborhood,

armed with shovels, rakes, and

plastic garbage bags. As projects

were completed, teams returned to

the Box to refuel and grab their

next assignment before heading

back out into the neighborhood to

continue the work of pulling

weeds, sweeping up debris, and

collecting garbage.

After collecting 134 bags of gar-

bage from around the area, volun-

teers lunched on a grilled hot dog

meal cooked up by Pastor Kyle of

Calvary Baptist. Students, parents,

community members, and Van-

guard staff members all made up

this year’s work crews, coming

together for a cause they all see as

valuable: beautifying and improv-

ing our neighborhood and sur-

rounding local businesses.

Fall Festival Trunk or Treat PTO Event Fosters Community

On an unseasonably warm October

afternoon, The Vanguard School’s

PTO hosted their first ever Fall

Festival Trunk or Treat! Attended

by over 1000 people from Van-

guard and the surrounding commu-

nity, this event was lauded by the

children and parents in attendance.

In addition to the typical decorated

trunks lined up in the parking lot to

pass out candy, PTO vice presi-

dent, Krystal Boudreau, arranged

for face painters and a balloon art-

ist to attend. When children were

not lined up for either of these

events, they could be found riding

the train around the dirt lot or

walking to the beat of music, hop-

ing to win a tasty treat from the

cake walk.

The attendance of this event ex-

ceeded the PTO’s expectation, and

it is estimated that around 8000

pieces of candy were distributed to

the costumed children.

The PTO intentionally kept this

event free from an admission’s

cost, and they will continue to do

so in an effort to support the

school and its commitment to

building external community ties,

as well as fostering the internal

ones already blossoming among

our own families.

To say that this event was a suc-

cess would be an understatement.

All in attendance enjoyed them-

selves and left the evening with

brighter smiles, armfuls of candy,

and a better sense of community

ties within The Vanguard School.
