THE MEANING OF THE ORIGAMI CRANE
Traditionally, it was believed that if one folded 1,000 origami cranes, one’s wish would come true. It has also become a symbol of hope and healing during challenging times. As a result, it has become popular to fold 1.000 cranes (in Japanese, called “senbazuru”).
Tradicionalmente, se creía que si uno doblaba 1000 grullas de origami, su deseo se haría realidad. También se ha convertido en un símbolo de esperanza y sanación en tiempos difíciles. Como resultado, se ha vuelto popular plegar 1.000 grullas (en japonés, llamado “senbazuru”).

The opt-in program for the 2023-24 school year went live on Monday, May 1. Families of eligible students need to log into the Parent Portal and opt their student in if they need transportation. General education students are opted out by default. McKinney-Vento, special education, foster care, and newcomer students will not need to opt-in because they will automatically be routed for transportation service.
If parents don’t opt-in by Friday, June 16, transportation will plan bus routes without their student. This doesn’t change their eligibility, but it could cause a delay in service.
Please review this flier. If you have any questions, please email transportation@dpsk12.org.

Los estudiantes de McKinney-Vento, de educación especial, de crianza temporal y recién llegados no necesitarán registrarse porque automáticamente serán enrutados para el servicio de transporte.
Si los padres no optan por participar antes del viernes 16 de junio, el transporte planificará rutas de autobús sin su estudiante. Esto no cambia su elegibilidad, pero podría causar un retraso en el servicio.
Por favor revise este volante. Si tiene alguna pregunta, envíe un correo electrónico transportation@dpsk12.org

The DPS Shakespeare Festival is the oldest and largest student Shakespeare festival in the country, and perhaps the world, and includes thousands of students and teachers from schools all across the region. The nationally recognized festival is one of only two sites to have received the coveted Folgers Library Shakespeare Stewardship Award.
Our very own drama students and teacher, Nancy Nyhus, attended and participated in the festival this Friday, April 28th. Great job!!!

This Spring, our Hamilton drama students put on a great show. Seussical the Musical Jr. was a classic of your favorite childhood stories coming to life in the fun-filled production of some of the fanciful tales of Dr. Suess’s work. This was an amazing night filled with singing and dancing, colorful costumes, sets, props, and even a spaghetti dinner! Thank you to all who came and supported our program.
Esta primavera, nuestros estudiantes de teatro de Hamilton dieron un gran espectáculo.

Gracias a todos los que vinieron y apoyaron nuestro programa.
The first Wonderful Wednesday of three in the series was a huge success! Taiko with Toni joined our students during lunch to bring thunderous sounds of the taiko (Japanese drum). Toni Yagami brings an exciting “Matsuri” (Japanese festival) to your stage.
The festival sound of Japan– from traditional songs to contemporary compositions; folktales to cultural facts; lullabies to American traditional jazz and swing; folksongs to classical music pieces – her “Matsuri” performance entertains and educates. In traditional costume, using taiko drums, various hand percussion, bamboo flutes, and occasionally the koto (Japanese harp), Toni and her troupe delight audiences all over Denver and Colorado.
¡El primer Miércoles Maravilloso de tres en la serie fue un gran éxito! Taiko con Toni se unió a nuestros estudiantes durante el almuerzo para traer los estruendosos sonidos del taiko (tambor japonés). Toni Yagami trae un emocionante “Matsuri” (festival japonés) a tu escenario.
El sonido del festival de Japón: desde canciones tradicionales hasta composiciones contemporáneas; cuentos populares a hechos culturales; canciones de cuna al ritmo del jazz y el swing tradicionales estadounidenses; desde canciones folclóricas hasta piezas de música clásica: su actuación “Matsuri” entretiene y educa. En traje tradicional, usando tambores taiko, percusión manual, flautas de bambú y ocasionalmente el koto (arpa japonesa), Toni y su compañía deleitan al público en todo Denver y Colorado.
Want to take a “trip” to Japan? Come take a picture in front of the step and repeat near the music room!

GTSA Free DPS Summer Program
This vibrant, forward-thinking four-week in-person program, uses arts and technology to cultivate self-empowerment, self-expression and community care in our jovenes (youth).
These future leaders will work with local artists and community organizations to select and complete a project that positively impacts their local community while learning important life skills like financial literacy.
Alongside each Lxs Jovenes session, is the Youth Advisory Council which is a program that reaches and engages Latinx youth 9-12th grade (ages 15-18). The students are graduates of our Leadership Lab who have the experience needed to transform the Lab into a youth-led program that is more finely attuned to the youth’s needs. We will invite 5-8 students to meet twice a month at Museo after school to collaborate and decide on specific program initiatives. Not only will those students act as an advisory council for the program, but one student will also have the opportunity to become a paid intern and assist in the planning and implementation of the Leadership Lab thereby increasing their leadership skills, ability to mentor younger ones, and gaining knowledge/experience in museum and program processes.
Este vibrante programa presencial de cuatro semanas utiliza las artes y la tecnología para cultivar el auto empoderamiento, la auto- expresión y el cuidado comunitario en nuestros jóvenes.
Estos/as futuros/as líderes trabajarán con artistas locales y organizaciones comunitarias para seleccionar y completar un proyecto que impacte positivamente en su comunidad mientras aprenden habilidades importantes para la vida como educación financiera.
