Third Graders Test
the Concepts of Financial Literacy
Third grade concluded their study of financial literacy with
Sell Day. As students learned about the
concepts of marketing and supply and demand they created their own product that they priced and “sold”
today to their classmates and parents.
Students then reflected on which products sold out and why. I was proud of students’ creativity, which was evident in their products and advertising.

2016 Chambers Widening Project
The
Town of Parker hosted an open house on Tuesday to talk about the
Chambers Road Widening Project that will begin in spring of
2016. As a part of this project, the Town plans to expand Chambers to
four lanes (2-lanes southbound and 2-lanes northbound). The Town
also plans to build a pedestrian bridge to provide a safe route for students,
families and community members. The Town estimates that construction will
be completed in the fall of 2016 and they plan on allowing cars to use the
existing two lanes throughout construction. The second and final reading
of the intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between the Town of Parker and
the Douglas County School District for funding the pedestrian bridge will
occur on June 1st at the Town Council meeting at 7:00
PM.
