The Adams 14 Education Foundation has started a new scholarship for Commerce City residents. Successful candidates do not need to be HS grads. The application process is fairly easy, but applications are due at the end of this month. I will give an extension of a few days upon request. This scholarship is being sponsored by La Casa del Rey and the Class of 1957 with support from the Commerce City Professional and Business Association.
MAYBE IT'S TIME TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL
Vocational training or college classes can help you build a career and improve your quality of life. Now, thanks to LaCasa del Rey, there's a scholarship that can help you pay for the education you need to get ahead.
La Casa del Rey 'Second Chance' Scholarship
If you're a Commerce City resident who attended a Commerce City school for at least a year, you can apply---even if you don't have a high school diploma or GED.
Awarded by the Commerce City Business & Professional Association and funded by a generous grant from LaCasa del Rey.
This scholarship is administered by Adams 14 Education Association.

Students at Landmark academy at reunion celebrate first annual latin culture week
Landmark Academy at Reunion , a tuition-free public charter school, recently hosted their First Annual Latin Culture Week, a week focused on educating students on the various aspects of Latin culture, from music and art to sports and celebrities, through unique activities. During the week-long celebration, students were able to step into the lives of the Aztecs, Incas and Mayans with Latin culture lessons through piñata making, cultural crafts, songs, traditional foods and more. Students made maracas and learned a traditional Mexican Hat Dance; created Aztec suns working with metal tooling; and studied different countries in Mexico , Central America and South America . Aztec dancers from the Colorado Folk Arts Council also visited with students and educated them on the spiritual and traditional aspects of Aztec culture through dance. “We reside in a community with strong Latin and Hispanic roots,” said Matt Carlton, principal of Landmark Academy at Reunion . “Our community culture is important to us at Landmark. By providing unique ways for our students to learn the various backgrounds of our diverse community they are able to understand and appreciate different cultures.” For more information about Landmark Academy at Reunion , please visit www.landmarkacademy.org.
