World War One Expo

Posted on February 9th, 2007 at 12:55pm.

We had an awesome time at our first ever World War One Expo. We turned the library into a huge history museum and had all kinds of student projects on display - from dioramas and scrapbooks to board games and PowerPoint presentations. This two-day show ended with parents and community members touring the museum during our Open House.

We've got some great pictures for you to check out and a huge congrats to our winners:

Great job everyone! We'll definitely do it again next year!

Thanks for a GREAT Book Fair!

Posted on January 9th, 2007 at 5:33pm.

Well, we're back at it and hopefully recovered after the holidays and the blizzards. Before we left for break, we held the first of two book fairs this year. This is a fun week where we turn the library into a bookstore and students can browse and buy all sorts of great books, posters, computer software, and other silly trinkets.

After tallying up our sales, we were able to raise over $1200 for the library, which will go directly to purchasing books and materials for Skyview Students! This is an important fundraiser that helps us expand our collection and provide students with the best new resources. We can't thank you enough for your support and making this a great success!

Be ready for the Spring book fair in April and take a look at some great book fair photos.

We have some great photos of last week's Egypt Day in our online photo galleries. Teachers from the Denver Museum of Science helped our 6th graders learn all about Egyptian culture and history. They even went through the entire mummification process and help mummify a "real" body.

We're happy to announce a great new research tool that is now available to our students. Skyview is now subscribing to the Student Resource Center, which is an electronic research database that lets Skyview students access all kinds of great information like books, encyclopedia articles and multimedia content. This information is available from home, from school and any other place with an internet connection. It's like having an entire research library at your fingertips...with no unsafe content, no pop-up ads and much more relevant results than Google or Yahoo!.

Author Steven Layne Visits Skyview

Posted on September 18th, 2006 at 07:51am.

Last Thursday, we had the pleasure of welcoming young adult author Dr. Steven Layne to Skyview for a day-long visit with our 7th and 8th graders. Dr. Layne is the author of This Side of Paradise and the new book Mergers. Almost all of our 7th and 8th grade students have read This Side of Paradise and absolutely loved it.

Dr. Layne put on two wonderful presentations where he discussed his life, how the publishing process works and read some passages from Mergers. He even gave us the special treat of reading the first chapter of his newest work in progress, which is a sequel to Paradise. The rest of the day was spent autographing books and meeting with students in the library.

We can't believe how excited our students were about meeting Dr. Layne. The waiting list to check out Mergers from the library is over 15 students long!

Be sure to check out the great photos from this fantastic day!
