Digging Help Needed (April 17-18)
This Earth Day, Ponderosa Elementary School is proud to launch a major food forest installation with The Walls Project, thanks to generous support from the Sprouts Healthy Communities Grant. With the generous support of 40 endangered and rare native apple trees from the Montezuma Orchard Restoration Project (MORP), this initiative will not only provide fresh fruit in the coming years but also create a living classroom where students can learn about environmental stewardship, healthy eating, and sustainable agriculture. This project is part of The Walls Project’s broader mission to activate underutilized spaces and empower communities through creative placemaking and food justice initiatives.
To bring this vision to life, we need community support! On Thursday, April 17, and Friday, April 18, we’re recruiting up to 40 volunteers each day to help dig holes, prepare the soil, and set the foundation for the food forest. SIGN UP HERE! Volunteers of all skill levels are welcome—whether you’re a seasoned gardener, a student, a neighbor, or simply looking to give back, your help will make a direct and lasting impact. These workdays are vital to ensuring the site is ready for student planting and will serve as an inspiring kickoff to a week of community engagement.
Then on Monday, April 21, we’ll host a Parent and Faculty Listening Session from 3-4pm to share plans for the food forest and future garden space, inviting feedback and participation from the school community. Finally, on Earth Day—Tuesday, April 22—we’ll celebrate with students as they help plant 40 heritage apple trees, beginning what we hope is a multi-generational legacy of learning and nourishment. We’re incredibly grateful to Sprouts, Ponderosa Elementary School and all our partners for making this vision a reality—and we hope you’ll join us for this exciting week of digging in and growing together!

O-Crew is a high school transition program that welcomes freshmen and makes them feel comfortable throughout the first year of their high school experience. Built on the belief that students can help students succeed, we train juniors and seniors to be O-Crew Leaders to support freshmen as they transition to high school. As positive role models, O-Crew Leaders are mentors and student leaders who guide the freshmen to discover what it takes to be successful during the transition to high school and help facilitate freshman success.
Are you a current sophomore or junior? Do you want to help the incoming freshmen make a smooth transition to high school? Do you have school spirit and want to help the freshmen find theirs? Apply today to be an O-Crew leader. Check your email or Schoology for a message on how to apply.

Points of Pride
Thanks to Cherry Creek Schools Foundation grant money, teachers at Overland can fund some academic projects for their students.
Join us in celebrating Jayden Ellison, president of the Social Impact Club, for being selected to the prestigious Bank of America Student Leaders Program—one of only 300 students nationwide chosen from over 12,000 applicants!
Overland participated in our first ProStart Culinary competition, a three-day event, and our Overland students were poised, prepared, and confident. Their food was beautiful, and they met all the top marks for safety and sanitation. We placed 11th out of 23 teams with only a two-point difference between 6th and 11th.
Please congratulate the following students: Marley Stout Ashley, Jasmine Berg, Fatimatou Balde, and Alina Martinez Parra.
Oscar Whitney, Overland Class of 2017, is performing in the Broadway musical "Hell's Kitchen." Watch a YouTube performance of the cast at the Macy's Thanksgiving parade.
Congratulations to the 10 students who made the CCSD Honor Band: (back) Julian Stevenson, Lacey Arlt, Trevor O'Shea, Niomi McGuire, Sebastian Somoza, Nada El Ghazzali, (front) Justin Cabalo, Bryan Truong, Ismael Salcedo, and Emmanuel Opoku!
