Meet at least once a month, more often around district competition (Feb. 2010). 

Are you overdramatic? Always right? Super silly? Then Forensics is the club for you! This club is about speech and debate, along with interpretive events. It demands a lot of time for weekly practice and full-day competition, but is well worth the while! We meet every Wednesday and Saturday we have meets at various schools in the area.

Schools for Schools emerged out of our overarching goal to help children in Northern Uganda receive a quality education. Over the past few years, we've done extensive research into the region's education system and seen the need to encourage academic excellence and leadership not only in students, but also on a much larger scale within the schools. Even the children who are able to actually go to school still face unfair limitations because of the poor condition of their classrooms.

Through the Schools for Schools program we are working to change that. By going to the root of the problem and improving education from the ground up, we are able to make a long-term change in the quality of education in the North....

 Basically were trying to raise money for a school in Uganda. We do this through Various Fundraisers.

Mock Trial is a competitive team that meats from November through mid-February. The Colorado Bar Association prepares a case packet with laws, evidence, defendant and witness statements. Each school prepares a defense and a prosecution. We need six attorneys and six witnesses per team. We can field as many teams as we have kids for. Sand Creek usually has two teams: one experienced and one inexperienced. Starting November first, Mock Trial will meet Monday through Thursday from 6 pm to 8 pm. The last two weeks of October Ms. Yaschik needs to meet with new people (never played and never took the class) Tuesday and Wednesday from 2:30 to 3:30. There is a regional competition Friday night and all Saturday the first or second week in February. The top 20% of the teams in the region qualify for the State tournament the first weekend in March. There are lettering criteria for A team members related to attendance and performance. Qualifying for state is an automatic letter for that team. Practices are in room 109, the regional competition is downtown at the courthouse, and the state tournament rotates between Boulder, Golden, Denver, and Colorado Springs.

The Sand Creek Snowriders Club is a group of snowboarders and skiers that travel up to the mountains to visit many popular resorts.  We charter a coach bus with the other ski clubs in District 49 from Vista Ridge High School and Falcon High School.  The advantages of travelling with our group include going to the mountains with all your friends, cheaper lift ticket prices, you don't have to drive home after a long day in the mountains and other surprises.  Students can chose to attend all of our trips or only one if they chose.  Fundraising opportunities are available in the beginning of the school year to help pay for your trips with our club. 

Ms. Leslie

Students who participate:

• sharpen research and presentation skills
• learn to formulate and defend an argument
• develop leadership and negotiation skills, and
• confront real-world scenarios to propose viable solutions

The program challenges young people to think about their relationship to the rest of our world while taking part in a fun competition. Four events, focused on an overarching annual theme, assess student knowledge about what's going on in the world and highlight students' creativity, analytical, and presentation skills. Annual themes in the past include conflict and global economy. 

Important Dates:

• The World Affairs Challenge Team meets Monday through Thursday 3:45pm-6pm. 
• The competition at Denver University in March or April (Dates TBA).
