On the back of SCLA 2013 graduate Trenton Hoshiko's tee shirts he created as a fundraiser for flood victims it says, "When the waters rise, Colorado rises too." That certainly has been the case as we have dealt with this flood. Each of your efforts, whether big or small, have contributed to helping ease someone's suffering. Thank you for your leadership.

We would like to encourage you to share your flood stories. Did you volunteer? What did you do? Where were you? What "stories" did you hear? Was your family affected? Write your short story and include a picture of you working in the flood if you have one, if not, include a photo of you. We hope to put the stories of the flood all around the school to celebrate our Raptor Spirit. Encourage ALL your friends to write- this is not just an SCLA thing..... Its a Silver Creek thing...
LEADERSHIP......IT'S WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO!
