Hey Y’all! True North recently updated its waiver to better meet student needs. For all programs going forward we will need a copy of the new version and that will secure a spot on the trip. You can fill it out online or pick up a copy from the front desk at the schools. We have some great programs coming up in November and hope to see you there!

Spanish waivers at school front desk or on our homepage.

Some highlights from our week! At Nucla high school, SanMiguel Current contributors receive their magazines in a school pep assembly and students learned how they can contribute writing, art, photography, poetry - and more - to this year’s magazine, the deadline is December 15!

At NORWOOD eighth grade students enjoyed snacks during Mr Pyles class and used the True North space in the tech building to watch a video for their shop class.

Mr Osgood let his class shop the Trading Post!

Students learned about how they can contribute to the next version of our student magazine, the SanMiguel Current.

It’s homecoming week at NORWOOD and on Thursday night students played games outside and True North sponsored the pizzas.

Pizzas for Norwood HoCo week!

At Telluride, True North North was invited to come to the Sparky Latina scholarship luncheon to tell students about our academic success in college access resources. Telluride Middle/High School

Our West End Friday Art Program with Ah Haa School for the Arts is Back! 🥳 Students made their own lunch in the culinary kitchen: buttermilk biscuits and strawberry jam from scratch, with bacon, taught by Chef Krista Montalvo. Students then created Pet Pop Art taught by Gaby Febres-Cordero! For some of the students it was their first time Telluride so Destiny took them for a trip on the gondola to enjoy the beautiful fall colors! 🍂 This program is available for free to any middle and high school students in Nucla and Norwood. We usually have a waiting list, so be sure to sign up and turn your waivers in early for the next trip! 🤠

Congratulations to Kyra Redd who was awarded the True North scholarship for demonstrating exceptional work ethic! Kyra graduated from Nucla High School and is now attending Colorado Mesa University, studying Diagnostic Medical Sonography with the goal of eventually becoming an Ultrasound Technician. Kyra said:
“The most meaningful experience I had with True North is the presentations that have been given in my senior seminar class. They were meaningful because they provided a lot of information and made the next steps in life less intimidating and offered a lot of support. True North’s programs helped me feel more confident going into the real world. I am beyond excited to begin this next chapter of my life. I look forward to meeting new people, experiencing new opportunities, and continuing my education. I know achieving my goal of becoming an ultrasound technician will not happen overnight and will require hard work and dedication, but I am committed to seeing it through. I am incredibly grateful for the generosity of this scholarship and the support it will provide as I complete my education and career goals.”
Congratulations Kyra!
