Caprock Academy April Core Virtue:  Joy “a feeling of great pleasure and happiness.”
 
The spring season is fully upon us.  Tulips, Crocus, Forsythias are all in full bloom.   The fruit trees of Palisade are exploding with color.  During this time of year, it is hard not to look around our Grand Valley, the beautiful and plentiful region in which we live and not feel the Joy of the time of year and the bounty of our Mesa County community.
 
Caprock has many celebrations in the past month.  The Caprock Academy Knowledge Bowl team placed second in the State of Colorado.  Caprock Academy had 2 graduating senior finalists for the prestigious Daniels Fund Scholarship.  I am pleased to announce that senior Mercedes Garcia is a selected recipient of that full tuition and fees scholarship for next year. 
 
As we begin the final push of the 23/24 school year, Caprock Academy families have so many year-end events, end of year opportunities to look into the future of next year, and programs that support the families and Caprock Academy, they are far too many to list.  The best way to stay updated on all that is happening is to do is to check our school website on a regular basis for all current information, as all school information has the potential to change.
 
Special news items on the website are; 
-Biographies of the two finalists for the Caprock Academy Head of School position. Interviews on April 17th.
-Biographies of the 5 candidates that have submitted applications for the April Board of Director elections.  The election is the last week of April.
 
All these year-end activities make for the busiest, but the absolute best time of the year for any school.
 
Stop by anytime for a cup of coffee and conversation.
