Attending an opera is an opportunity most high school students don’t get. Theater students at Denver Montessori Jr/Sr High recently had their first experience with opera when they attended “Die Tote Stadt.”

In downtown Denver, Cinco De Mayo is a huge event where everyone is invited and welcome. The holiday celebrates Mexico’s victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla in 1862. While the holiday is not widely celebrated in Mexico, it is still popular amongst Mexican Americans in America. There is a lot of entertainment and food. One of the entertainments is Folklorico Dancing. Folklorico Dancing has been around for many years. It is mostly known for the dresses, the movement of the dresses, and the music.
Normally, a few thousand school children marching through the streets might be a cause for concern. But in Denver, Colorado, it marks one of the most exciting events in the school year.
Every April, Downtown Denver is home to the yearly Denver Public Schools Shakespeare Festival, where students of all ages from schools across Denver come together to march in a costumed parade and perform scenes and plays by Shakespeare. The event lasts all day, with scenes and plays performed simultaneously on many stages. The Festival is filled with children, teachers, community members, and parents, as students show off their acting chops.
On December 8th and 9th, 10th-12th grade theater students performed their annual musical. This year's production was "Spamalot," a whacky musical based on the cult classic movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." Fans of the film saw many of their favorite Monty Python lines and songs brought to life, with some new twists and turns thrown into the original story.
This was the final DMHS musical for seniors Marisa Mulryan, Kirra Lindauer, Joaquin Weeda, Drew Wood, and China Omenai. We thank them for so many years of wonderful performances, and wish them well in their future theater endeavors!

This year has been very different from past years in terms of holidays and celebrations (and everything else). Halloween during Covid-19 looks different for people in terms of what they are choosing to do and how they are staying safe.
The corn maze at Chatfield Farms
Several local organizations have planned events that are Halloween themed, including the Botanic Gardens, the Denver Zoo, Chatfield Farms (part of Denver Botanic Gardens), and Fritzler Farms. These locations are offering events ranging from corn mazes to costumes contests, pumpkin patches, and go-carts. Many people will still be trick or treating, while some families might not. All of the events taking place will have safety precautions, including masks, social distancing, a limited amount of people, and hand sanitizer. For more information on these events, go here!
