“Western Affection” by Alyssa Jimeson

Alyssa Jimeson, a Vanguard sophomore this year, has proven herself to

be a talented and driven art student throughout her years at The

Vanguard School. During her time at Vanguard, she has won numerous

awards for her art, including a silver national medal in the Scholastic

Art and Writing Competition two years ago.

Last year, she created the cover art, “Western Affection,” with chalk

pastels. Her remarkable attention to detail makes her work as an artist

something to look forward to over the next few years at Vanguard.

-Greg Custer / Vanguard Art Instructor

The Vanguard School is a tuition-free, K-12 charter school with a classically based, college-preparatory curriculum designed to

develop academic excellence, virtue, and leadership.

Dear friends and families of The Vanguard School,

School is up and running, and we are already in the

middle of September! At the beginning of the year, we held Back to School Nights, allowing us to reconnect

with parents and explain our mission and approach. As discussed during these events and featured last year, we

have made some improvements in our approach this year in order to better

achieve our mission. The changes center around more fully incorporating

a classical education into our overall program with improvements made

across all grade levels. It is important that all of our students and families come to understand what we are about and how what is happening at each

level fits into the whole program and moves toward the larger goal.

Our goal for all students is that they graduate from The Vanguard School

prepared for whatever moral or intellectual challenges they will face upon

graduation. Each step along that process is important.

Our lower elementary is the foundation of our program. It is here that students learn the basics of how to be a student and how to act as a

contributing member of a classroom. They learn the critical skill of

reading as well as writing in cursive, solving arithmetic problems, and diving into the basics of science, history, and literature. These

foundational skills are vital for students as they advance into the upper elementary, junior high, and high school, and learn all aspects of a

classical education.

As students complete the lower elementary, they progress according to the

Classical Trivium, the progressive study of grammar, logic, and rhetoric.

Upper elementary students learn the first stage of the Trivium, grammar.

At this stage of their education, they learn how to construct language.

Students at this age are adept at learning and applying rules and are

particularly capable of remembering a huge number of words and ideas,

which will be necessary material for later use. There are some key ways in which we are adjusting our program in support of this. At our upper

elementary this year, we have expanded Latin instruction down to fourth grade. Not only is the Latin language at the core of Western Civilization,

Letter from the Executive Director Colin Mullaney

Letter from the Executive Director Colin Mullaney

the study of Latin develops critical thinking and problem solving skills. Additionally, it strongly enhances English vocabulary and supports

understanding of English grammar. On top of this and surprising to parents who have not studied Latin, students enjoy it, and it makes them feel smart.

We have also adjusted our reading program to evolve into the study of

literature beginning in fourth grade. Students read the works of masters and learn from the moral and academic content of the story.

As students move into junior high, they engage with the logic stage of the

Trivium. They learn to order facts in a way that makes sense. They learn

to critically examine their own and others’ thinking to make analytical connections and to make determinations regarding what is true and what is

false. Some areas in which this is highlighted include learning to order

thoughts to write a thesis paper and in the practice of writing and testing hypotheses using the scientific method. Also, while Latin has been an

elective option for several years, beginning this year every seventh-grade student will begin Latin instruction. Ultimately all students will take Latin

from fourth grade through ninth grade, and further if desired.

As our students move into high school, they put the knowledge base of

upper elementary together with the logic of junior high in order to present

material in a way that effectively instructs or persuades others. This is the rhetoric stage of the Trivium and is demonstrated through more advanced

writing, presentations, seminar style discussions, and culminates in students’ senior capstone project on living “the Good Life.”

Ultimately the goal of a classical education is to develop habits of wisdom and virtue in order to learn to live well, to live the good life. This wisdom

cannot be given, it must be earned; it doesn’t come overnight, it takes many years to acquire and, in fact, must be continually pursued over the course of

a lifetime. However, with consistent effort in an aligned and coherent

program with the goal of developing character and academic potential,

students with the support of parents and teachers can begin this journey

well. In doing so, they will be prepared for the challenges of life and learn

to love the pursuit of excellence as much as its achievement.

Go Coursers!

Farewell, Class of 2017 Vanguard Sends Off Eighth Graduating Class

Years of hard work, diligence, and

perseverance paid off for Van-

guard’s Class of 2017 as they cele-

brated their graduation and final

days as high school students last

May. Beginning on May 20 with

our traditional Baccalaureate Cere-

mony, the graduates posed in their

finest attired for a picture that

commemorated and immortalized

this event. As the curtain on the

cafetorium’s stage unveiled our

graduates at 7:00 P.M., some tears,

gasps, and applause erupted from

the crowd.

Emotions continued to run high as

the Baccalaureate ceremony pro-

gressed with heartfelt speeches by

staff and students alike, including a

meaningful and much-anticipated

tradition where all graduating sen-

iors are honored individually by a

teacher who delivers an address to

them in front of the full audience.

Other honors this year included

military enlistment and service

academy appointment recogni-

tions, class gifts, and a special ad-

dress to the senior class from Mr.

Schwab. After the ceremony, eve-

ryone enjoyed a reception in the

library that had been put together

by the junior parents.

Commencement followed the next

morning, and more people gath-

ered to witness our largest graduat-

ing class yet walk across the stage.

The ceremony proceeded flawless-

ly as graduates entered in caps and

gowns, wide smiles on their faces.

After honoring our country with

the Pledge of Allegiance and Na-

tional Anthem, a series of personal

and inspirational speeches by Mrs.

Jesse, Mr. Mullaney, Joshua Han-

ni, and Angie Nguyen reinforced

the importance of this event as

each speaker spoke to the crowd of

the love, care, and hard work that

have been poured into the Class of

2017 over the last thirteen years.

As names were called, students

received their diplomas and proud-

ly marched off as young adults

ready to begin a new journey. The

tears of joy shed from students,

families, and staff members were a

true testament that the Class of

2017 has certainly left its mark on

our school, and these last two cere-

monies will forever be part of that

legacy.

As bittersweet as sending off an-

other graduating class can be, the

hope lying around the corner was

made apparent at the end of May

as our eighth grade class prepared

for their Moving Up festivities.

Celebrating junior high students

who have put in the hard work and

dedication that is necessary to suc-

ceed at The Vanguard School, this

annual time of celebration has be-

come a highlight for our students,

families, and staff members.

Due to several circumstances be-

yond the school’s control, this

year’s class was unable to travel to

Elitches as has been done in the

past. Exercising the character

traits of flexibility, adaptability,

and most importantly, patience, an

alternative solution was created,

and this year’s class started their

own tradition by renting out Sky

Zone, a local trampoline park.

Through various activities, the stu-

dents engaged with each other and

their teachers, enjoying some

friendly competitions and partici-

pating in team activities. Although

it wasn’t in the initial plan, stu-

dents and teachers thoroughly en-

joyed their time at Sky Zone, and

the event was a huge success.

Their final days as junior high stu-

dents came to an end on May 25 at

the Moving Up Ceremony. Stu-

dent body president, Marinda

Hughes, started the ceremony by

leading the crowd in the Pledge of

Allegiance. Bridgette Clowdis,

Catilyn Defosses, Paula Gennitti,

and Aria Yeates then did a won-

derful job at leading the audience

in the National Anthem. Speeches

by Emma Palmer, Abbigail

Meinen, and Valedictorian Owen

Beute all added a personal element

that contributed to an already

meaningful ceremony. Every sin-

gle student passed this year and

moved on to high school, adding

an extra celebratory element to

such a wonderful event.

At the end, Mr. Randall addressed

the eighth graders personally be-

fore handing them off to Mr. Fen-

ton, the high school assistant prin-

cipal, who warmly welcomed them

to our high school.

Congratulations to our students for

finishing their junior high years

well! Welcome to high school,

Vanguard Class of 2021!

Celebrating a Successful Year Eighth Grade Class Moves Up to High School

Vanguard Summers Opportunities Abound for Vanguard Students

While many consider June and

July to be months reserved sole-

ly for pools, relaxation, and

closed school books, the sum-

mer of 2017 had Vanguard’s

hallways teeming with students

participating in a variety of aca-

demic courses, enrichment pro-

grams, and athletic camps.

Keisha Davis and Kevin Dick,

our Summer Semester Program

Coordinators, were pleased that

this year’s program had the big-

gest participation rate ever! In

addition to traditional summer

school courses such as math

and reading, students this sum-

mer had the opportunity to at-

tend sports camps such as cross

country and cheerleading,

STEM enrichment programs,

drama camps, and a variety of

other course selections.

At the elementary level, stu-

dents had the opportunity to not

only build upon their reading

and math skills, but also to at-

tend Camp Invention and Lego

Camp, both of which were fun,

educational opportunities not

only for our students, but for

others in the community and

city, too!

Always a highlight of our sum-

mer course selections, Mr. Cus-

ter’s Art Camp had people of all

ages and abilities, including art

teachers from around the city,

coming to learn from one of the

best art teachers around.

While Summer Semester kept

students busy here in Colorado

Springs, Mrs. Versage, high

school German teacher, spent

time in June taking twelve stu-

dents and two parent chaper-

ones to Germany. Beginning

their trip in Frankfurt, they trav-

eled by train to Berlin where

they went on a five-hour bike

tour exploring Berlin and learn-

ing about its history. After four

days in Berlin, they arrived in

Stuttgart to reunite with their

exchange partners from earlier

in the school year. They shad-

owed their exchange partners to

classes and went on class excur-

sions to the Ritter Sport choco-

late factory, the Wilhelm Zoo,

and several castles and muse-

ums. The trip also included two

days in Munich, several bus

tours, and some time in Heidel-

berg where they took a castle

tour and relaxed by the river.

The German Exchange Pro-

gram, now in its second year at

The Vanguard School, does an

outstanding job at immersing

students from Germany and

America into each other’s cul-

tures, allowing all participants

to see and fully experience the

differences that make each

country unique.

Vanguard looks forward to con-

tinuing this exchange program

by welcoming another group of

German students this October!

High School Retreat 2017 A Meaningful Tradition Continues

The annual high school retreat has

one main goal every year: create a

sense of unity and belonging

amongst our 9-12 students and

staff members. That one goal, as

daunting as it might sound, was

accomplished during the first three

days of the school year at the Pon-

derosa Camp and Conference Cen-

ter in Larkspur, Colorado.

Held on August 16-18, high school

students left for the retreat the very

first day our K-8 students were

starting their classes. This change

from previous years was unique

but valuable as students had the

opportunity to use the first few

days of school to reconnect with

their classmates that they hadn’t

seen in two months, as well as

meet all of our new high school

students and staff members before

the bustle of the school year came

upon them.

This annual retreat has become an

invaluable activity for our school

as it engages our high school com-

munity in ways not always possi-

ble in the traditional classroom

setting. Problem-solving activities

occupied their time, which allowed

for greater physical, mental, and

social development. These activi-

ties, coupled with a variety of

character and leadership discus-

sions led by Vanguard staff mem-

bers, helped to set a positive tone

and concrete direction for the up-

coming school year.

At the end, students and staff

members walked away from the

retreat exhausted but excited for

the coming year. In addition to

seeing our school as a place to re-

ceive a great education and prepare

for college, students see Vanguard

as a unique place where each per-

son truly belongs, every student

can find his special niche, and all

staff seek to develop all students

not only academically, but also as

successful human beings and con-

tributing members of society.

A Place to Call Their Own Vanguard’s New Junior High Dome Opens

A little less than a year after break-

ing ground, Vanguard’s new junior

high dome opened its doors to

smiling, excited students on Sep-

tember 18.

While originally intended to be

ready in time for the start of the

2017-2018 school year, the dome’s

availability was altered due to

weather delays that impacted an

already tight schedule. Spirits

weren’t dampened, however, be-

cause all involved were confident

that the extra time spent waiting

would be well worth the end result.

They couldn’t have been more cor-

rect. Nestled in the lower lot on

our Corona Campus, this new

building is equipped to accommo-

date three hundred students, one

hundred more than the current jun-

ior high building can hold, which

will allow our junior high enroll-

ment numbers to grow and our

program to continue to expand.

This state-of-the-art facility will

provide approximately 20,000

square feet of space that includes

twelve classrooms, two science

labs, and administrative spaces to

support the faculty and staff. The

science labs in the dome will offer

our junior high students and sci-

ence teacher opportunities for

complex experiments with access

to water, gas, and electricity at

each table and a fume head in each

room.

In addition to the increased amount

of space, the structure of the dome

lends itself to be incredibly energy

efficient and safe. The concrete

walls and dome shape have been

shown to withstand hurricanes and

tornadoes. These same features

and the internal volume of the

building make it extremely cost

effective to heat and cool, while the

round shape and layout make the

circulation and functioning very

efficient.

The placement of our dome was

made intentionally to create and

maintain synergy with our high

school, while also allowing easy

access to the Vanguard Stadium

and a proposed new gym that will

one day be built directly to the

south.

To celebrate the completion of this

wonderful building and one part of

our Strategic Plan, we will be host-

ing a ribbon-cutting ceremony on

Friday, October 13, at 4:00 P.M.

We proudly invite our school com-

munity and anyone else who wants

to join us for this momentous occa-

sion. In addition to a brief ceremo-

ny, we will also host a reception

and student-led tours of the new

facility.

Cohort Connections Last Year’s Success Creates This Year’s Enthusiasm

Our cohort program, now entering

its fourth year of existence, has

quickly found its way into the

hearts of students and staff mem-

bers alike.

This unique program coordinates

and provides opportunities for our

students to bridge the gap between

grade levels, buildings, and even

campuses by fostering relation-

ships through a variety of activi-

ties. As we enter year four, we are

able to see students remembering

times with their cohort partners

and realizing the connections

they've made in years

past. Internal connections within

the school, not only among the

students but also between the staff

at all levels, promote The Van-

guard School as one K-12 family.

Some of last year’s cohort program

highlights include: cohort ice

cream party/playdates on the 4-6

playground, making encouraging

signs and posters for the cohort

grades in high school for Home-

coming, Cohort Science Day pair-

ing first grade students with ninth

grade buddies through several sta-

tions that explored different as-

pects of habitats, seventh grade

math students teaching math les-

sons to the third graders, high

schoolers hiding eggs and doing

the bunny hop with kindergartners,

and a reunion of the first and ninth

grade cohort buddies for a Book

Buddy read-aloud time just before

Spring Break.

Behind the scenes of this program

every year is a group of dedicated

K-12 teachers. These teachers

meet on a regular basis, using their

curriculum maps to brainstorm

ideas and possibilities to prepare

enriching activities to connect our

students at all grade levels, foster-

ing a level of relationship often

undeveloped at other schools.

While 2016-2017 yielded the best

cohort year to date, our hope for

the 2017-2018 school year is to

grow even bigger by having more

events planned and even greater

staff participation, planning, and

true ownership and understanding

of the value that this program

brings to our school.

Parent Teacher Organization PTO Gears Up for Another Successful Year

Behind every happy teacher and

well stocked classroom is a dedi-

cated Parent Teacher Organization

(PTO), working behind the scenes

by organizing fundraising and

community-building events to raise

not only money for the school, but

also the sense of family and com-

mitment among our teachers, stu-

dents, and families.

Vanguard’s PTO ended last year

well with the Coursers Stampede

Color Run, the final event of the

year that was created to raise funds

for new filtered water fountains for

each of our buildings.

In addition to raising over $35,000

last year from the Coursers Stam-

pede, Holiday Gift Shop, and the

Cookie Dough Sale, PTO hosted

many family friendly events over

the course of the year with the in-

tent of bringing together our school

community. Whether it was the

free Movie Nights, the Trunk or

Treat Fall Festival, or the Parent

Prom dances, all who attended a

PTO-sponsored event left feeling

happy, content, and connected.

Our PTO needs more parents who

are willing to continue the wonder-

ful traditions that have been creat-

ed. Parents interested in making a

tangible difference in the lives of

our students, teachers, and our

community can contact PTO at

PTO@TheVanguardSchool.com.

Coaches Corner New Coaching Faces for 2017-2018

Our eleventh year of Vanguard

athletics is on the horizon, and

each team looks poised and ready

for another successful season.

In addition to each team having

new and returning athletes on their

rosters, we also have several new

coaches joining us this year!

Rachel Francis, high school Eng-

lish assistant teacher, will be head-

ing up the junior high boys basket-

ball team this Fall. From previous

experience last year serving as our

high school assistant girls soccer

coach and coordinator for the sum-

mer soccer program, Rachel has a

wide skill range and knowledge of

athletics, and we are excited to

have her using her expertise to

support our junior high boys on the

basketball court.

Also new to the coaching staff this

year is Kari Miller, a familiar face

to our secondary history depart-

ment. As our high school head

cross country coach, Kari brings

with her a wealth of experience

from her time running cross coun-

try at John Brown University. Her

compassionate spirit, coupled with

her leadership skills, guarantee that

our cross country team members

will have a fantastic season with

her as their coach.

Joining Kari for cross country is

Scott Palmer, an elementary assis-

tant teacher. Scott will be support-

ing our cross country teams as the

assistant coach for the boys and

girls, and his love for running and

knowledge of cross country make

him a perfect fit for this new role.

Our high school girls volleyball

team has two new faces this year.

Todd Thornton, a Vanguard parent

and former Navy volleyball team

player, has helped in the past with

our junior high volleyball teams,

and this year he decided he’s ready

for the challenge of coaching our

high school team. When he isn’t

around the school, he works at

Norad as an Exercise Planner.

The second new face for our vol-

leyball program is Scott Brenner,

who works as the Senior Director

of IT at David C. Cook. With a

daughter playing volleyball for

Vanguard already, slipping into

this role to coach our newly

formed C-team works well for

both him and our school.

With all of our new coaching staff

and a record number of student

athletes playing on our teams, you

do not want to miss Vanguard ath-

letics this year!

Full game schedules and additional

information can be found on the

Athletics page of our website at

www.TheVanguardSchool.com.

ward to the all school retreat!

Student Spotlight

Caitlyn Mlodzik, Senior

As a child, Caitlyn Mlodzik’s love

for animals inspired her to become

a veterinarian; however, during her

junior high years at Vanguard, her

passion shifted, and her interest in

writing developed as she began

writing short stories. After reading

Lord of The Flies, Mr. Schwab’s

choral ode assignment sparked

Caitlyn to write “The Death of Si-

mon” as a tribute to the character

Simon in the book.

Caitlyn’s years at Vanguard have

been busy with music, academics,

and writing. Her nine years of

clarinet experience has earned her

the honor of being the first chair

clarinet and concert master for the

Vanguard Instrumental Music Pro-

gram. Vanguard’s program that

includes Latin, classical history,

and mythology have spurred Cait-

lyn’s interests, and she feels that

her four years of Latin have really

helped to make the connection to

English grammar and vocabulary.

Last year, Caitlyn received recog-

nition at the Colorado Scholastic

Art and Writing Competition. Af-

ter submitting four pieces, she re-

ceived a Gold Key for her short

story and three Bronze Medals for

each of her poems. This past sum-

mer, four of Caitlyn’s poems were

published in three different literary

publications: Save the Earth Poet-

ry, Thurston Howl Publications,

and the American Literary of Poet-

ry.

When not writing, Caitlyn enjoys

reading, baking, and volunteering

for writing-based organizations

such as Comic Con. Working with

this organization has given her the

opportunity to meet writers, artists,

and celebrities such as Shaggy

(Matthew Lillard) from “Scooby

Doo,” Darth Vader (Spencer Wild-

ing) of “Rouge One,” and the en-

tire cast from “The Walking

Dead!”

To further hone her writing skills,

Caitlyn plans to attend college next

fall and intends on majoring in

English, with a minor in Creative

Writing.
