The
Vanguard Voice
“Western Affection” by Alyssa Jimeson
Alyssa Jimeson, a Vanguard sophomore this year, has proven herself to
be a talented and driven art student throughout her years at The
Vanguard School. During her time at Vanguard, she has won numerous
awards for her art, including a silver national medal in the Scholastic
Art and Writing Competition two years ago.
Last year, she created the cover art, “Western Affection,” with chalk
pastels. Her remarkable attention to detail makes her work as an artist
something to look forward to over the next few years at Vanguard.
-Greg Custer / Vanguard Art Instructor
The Vanguard School is a tuition-free, K-12 charter school with a classically based, college-preparatory curriculum designed to
develop academic excellence, virtue, and leadership.

Dear friends and families of The Vanguard School,
School is up and running, and we are already in the
middle of September! At the beginning of the year, we held Back to School Nights, allowing us to reconnect
with parents and explain our mission and approach. As discussed during these events and featured last year, we
have made some improvements in our approach this year in order to better
achieve our mission. The changes center around more fully incorporating
a classical education into our overall program with improvements made
across all grade levels. It is important that all of our students and families come to understand what we are about and how what is happening at each
level fits into the whole program and moves toward the larger goal.
Our goal for all students is that they graduate from The Vanguard School
prepared for whatever moral or intellectual challenges they will face upon
graduation. Each step along that process is important.
Our lower elementary is the foundation of our program. It is here that students learn the basics of how to be a student and how to act as a
contributing member of a classroom. They learn the critical skill of
reading as well as writing in cursive, solving arithmetic problems, and diving into the basics of science, history, and literature. These
foundational skills are vital for students as they advance into the upper elementary, junior high, and high school, and learn all aspects of a
classical education.
As students complete the lower elementary, they progress according to the
Classical Trivium, the progressive study of grammar, logic, and rhetoric.
Upper elementary students learn the first stage of the Trivium, grammar.
At this stage of their education, they learn how to construct language.
Students at this age are adept at learning and applying rules and are
particularly capable of remembering a huge number of words and ideas,
which will be necessary material for later use. There are some key ways in which we are adjusting our program in support of this. At our upper
elementary this year, we have expanded Latin instruction down to fourth grade. Not only is the Latin language at the core of Western Civilization,
Letter from the Executive Director Colin Mullaney
Letter from the Executive Director Colin Mullaney
the study of Latin develops critical thinking and problem solving skills. Additionally, it strongly enhances English vocabulary and supports
understanding of English grammar. On top of this and surprising to parents who have not studied Latin, students enjoy it, and it makes them feel smart.
We have also adjusted our reading program to evolve into the study of
literature beginning in fourth grade. Students read the works of masters and learn from the moral and academic content of the story.
As students move into junior high, they engage with the logic stage of the
Trivium. They learn to order facts in a way that makes sense. They learn
to critically examine their own and others’ thinking to make analytical connections and to make determinations regarding what is true and what is
false. Some areas in which this is highlighted include learning to order
thoughts to write a thesis paper and in the practice of writing and testing hypotheses using the scientific method. Also, while Latin has been an
elective option for several years, beginning this year every seventh-grade student will begin Latin instruction. Ultimately all students will take Latin
from fourth grade through ninth grade, and further if desired.
As our students move into high school, they put the knowledge base of
upper elementary together with the logic of junior high in order to present
material in a way that effectively instructs or persuades others. This is the rhetoric stage of the Trivium and is demonstrated through more advanced
writing, presentations, seminar style discussions, and culminates in students’ senior capstone project on living “the Good Life.”
Ultimately the goal of a classical education is to develop habits of wisdom and virtue in order to learn to live well, to live the good life. This wisdom
cannot be given, it must be earned; it doesn’t come overnight, it takes many years to acquire and, in fact, must be continually pursued over the course of
a lifetime. However, with consistent effort in an aligned and coherent
program with the goal of developing character and academic potential,
students with the support of parents and teachers can begin this journey
well. In doing so, they will be prepared for the challenges of life and learn
to love the pursuit of excellence as much as its achievement.
Go Coursers!
Colin T. Mullaney
Farewell, Class of 2017 Vanguard Sends Off Eighth Graduating Class
Years of hard work, diligence, and
perseverance paid off for Van-
guard’s Class of 2017 as they cele-
brated their graduation and final
days as high school students last
May. Beginning on May 20 with
our traditional Baccalaureate Cere-
mony, the graduates posed in their
finest attired for a picture that
commemorated and immortalized
this event. As the curtain on the
cafetorium’s stage unveiled our
graduates at 7:00 P.M., some tears,
gasps, and applause erupted from
the crowd.
Emotions continued to run high as
the Baccalaureate ceremony pro-
gressed with heartfelt speeches by
staff and students alike, including a
meaningful and much-anticipated
tradition where all graduating sen-
iors are honored individually by a
teacher who delivers an address to
them in front of the full audience.
Other honors this year included
military enlistment and service
academy appointment recogni-
tions, class gifts, and a special ad-
dress to the senior class from Mr.
Schwab. After the ceremony, eve-
ryone enjoyed a reception in the
library that had been put together
by the junior parents.
Commencement followed the next
morning, and more people gath-
ered to witness our largest graduat-
ing class yet walk across the stage.
The ceremony proceeded flawless-
ly as graduates entered in caps and
gowns, wide smiles on their faces.
After honoring our country with
the Pledge of Allegiance and Na-
tional Anthem, a series of personal
and inspirational speeches by Mrs.
Jesse, Mr. Mullaney, Joshua Han-
ni, and Angie Nguyen reinforced
the importance of this event as
each speaker spoke to the crowd of
the love, care, and hard work that
have been poured into the Class of
2017 over the last thirteen years.
As names were called, students
received their diplomas and proud-
ly marched off as young adults
ready to begin a new journey. The
tears of joy shed from students,
families, and staff members were a
true testament that the Class of
2017 has certainly left its mark on
our school, and these last two cere-
monies will forever be part of that
legacy.
As bittersweet as sending off an-
other graduating class can be, the
hope lying around the corner was
made apparent at the end of May
as our eighth grade class prepared
for their Moving Up festivities.
Celebrating junior high students
who have put in the hard work and
dedication that is necessary to suc-
ceed at The Vanguard School, this
annual time of celebration has be-
come a highlight for our students,
families, and staff members.
Due to several circumstances be-
yond the school’s control, this
year’s class was unable to travel to
Elitches as has been done in the
past. Exercising the character
traits of flexibility, adaptability,
and most importantly, patience, an
alternative solution was created,
and this year’s class started their
own tradition by renting out Sky
Zone, a local trampoline park.
Through various activities, the stu-
dents engaged with each other and
their teachers, enjoying some
friendly competitions and partici-
pating in team activities. Although
it wasn’t in the initial plan, stu-
dents and teachers thoroughly en-
joyed their time at Sky Zone, and
the event was a huge success.
Their final days as junior high stu-
dents came to an end on May 25 at
the Moving Up Ceremony. Stu-
dent body president, Marinda
Hughes, started the ceremony by
leading the crowd in the Pledge of
Allegiance. Bridgette Clowdis,
Catilyn Defosses, Paula Gennitti,
and Aria Yeates then did a won-
derful job at leading the audience
in the National Anthem. Speeches
by Emma Palmer, Abbigail
Meinen, and Valedictorian Owen
Beute all added a personal element
that contributed to an already
meaningful ceremony. Every sin-
gle student passed this year and
moved on to high school, adding
an extra celebratory element to
such a wonderful event.
At the end, Mr. Randall addressed
the eighth graders personally be-
fore handing them off to Mr. Fen-
ton, the high school assistant prin-
cipal, who warmly welcomed them
to our high school.
Congratulations to our students for
finishing their junior high years
well! Welcome to high school,
Vanguard Class of 2021!
Celebrating a Successful Year Eighth Grade Class Moves Up to High School
Vanguard Summers Opportunities Abound for Vanguard Students
While many consider June and
July to be months reserved sole-
ly for pools, relaxation, and
closed school books, the sum-
mer of 2017 had Vanguard’s
hallways teeming with students
participating in a variety of aca-
demic courses, enrichment pro-
grams, and athletic camps.
Keisha Davis and Kevin Dick,
our Summer Semester Program
Coordinators, were pleased that
this year’s program had the big-
gest participation rate ever! In
addition to traditional summer
school courses such as math
and reading, students this sum-
mer had the opportunity to at-
tend sports camps such as cross
country and cheerleading,
STEM enrichment programs,
drama camps, and a variety of
other course selections.
At the elementary level, stu-
dents had the opportunity to not
only build upon their reading
and math skills, but also to at-
tend Camp Invention and Lego
Camp, both of which were fun,
educational opportunities not
only for our students, but for
others in the community and
city, too!
Always a highlight of our sum-
mer course selections, Mr. Cus-
ter’s Art Camp had people of all
ages and abilities, including art
teachers from around the city,
coming to learn from one of the
best art teachers around.
While Summer Semester kept
students busy here in Colorado
Springs, Mrs. Versage, high
school German teacher, spent
time in June taking twelve stu-
dents and two parent chaper-
ones to Germany. Beginning
their trip in Frankfurt, they trav-
eled by train to Berlin where
they went on a five-hour bike
tour exploring Berlin and learn-
ing about its history. After four
days in Berlin, they arrived in
Stuttgart to reunite with their
exchange partners from earlier
in the school year. They shad-
owed their exchange partners to
classes and went on class excur-
sions to the Ritter Sport choco-
late factory, the Wilhelm Zoo,
and several castles and muse-
ums. The trip also included two
days in Munich, several bus
tours, and some time in Heidel-
berg where they took a castle
tour and relaxed by the river.
The German Exchange Pro-
gram, now in its second year at
The Vanguard School, does an
outstanding job at immersing
students from Germany and
America into each other’s cul-
tures, allowing all participants
to see and fully experience the
differences that make each
country unique.
Vanguard looks forward to con-
tinuing this exchange program
by welcoming another group of
German students this October!
High School Retreat 2017 A Meaningful Tradition Continues
The annual high school retreat has
one main goal every year: create a
sense of unity and belonging
amongst our 9-12 students and
staff members. That one goal, as
daunting as it might sound, was
accomplished during the first three
days of the school year at the Pon-
derosa Camp and Conference Cen-
ter in Larkspur, Colorado.
Held on August 16-18, high school
students left for the retreat the very
first day our K-8 students were
starting their classes. This change
from previous years was unique
but valuable as students had the
opportunity to use the first few
days of school to reconnect with
their classmates that they hadn’t
seen in two months, as well as
meet all of our new high school
students and staff members before
the bustle of the school year came
upon them.
This annual retreat has become an
invaluable activity for our school
as it engages our high school com-
munity in ways not always possi-
ble in the traditional classroom
setting. Problem-solving activities
occupied their time, which allowed
for greater physical, mental, and
social development. These activi-
ties, coupled with a variety of
character and leadership discus-
sions led by Vanguard staff mem-
bers, helped to set a positive tone
and concrete direction for the up-
coming school year.
At the end, students and staff
members walked away from the
retreat exhausted but excited for
the coming year. In addition to
seeing our school as a place to re-
ceive a great education and prepare
for college, students see Vanguard
as a unique place where each per-
son truly belongs, every student
can find his special niche, and all
staff seek to develop all students
not only academically, but also as
successful human beings and con-
tributing members of society.
A Place to Call Their Own Vanguard’s New Junior High Dome Opens
A little less than a year after break-
ing ground, Vanguard’s new junior
high dome opened its doors to
smiling, excited students on Sep-
tember 18.
While originally intended to be
ready in time for the start of the
2017-2018 school year, the dome’s
availability was altered due to
weather delays that impacted an
already tight schedule. Spirits
weren’t dampened, however, be-
cause all involved were confident
that the extra time spent waiting
would be well worth the end result.
They couldn’t have been more cor-
rect. Nestled in the lower lot on
our Corona Campus, this new
building is equipped to accommo-
date three hundred students, one
hundred more than the current jun-
ior high building can hold, which
will allow our junior high enroll-
ment numbers to grow and our
program to continue to expand.
This state-of-the-art facility will
provide approximately 20,000
square feet of space that includes
twelve classrooms, two science
labs, and administrative spaces to
support the faculty and staff. The
science labs in the dome will offer
our junior high students and sci-
ence teacher opportunities for
complex experiments with access
to water, gas, and electricity at
each table and a fume head in each
room.
In addition to the increased amount
of space, the structure of the dome
lends itself to be incredibly energy
efficient and safe. The concrete
walls and dome shape have been
shown to withstand hurricanes and
tornadoes. These same features
and the internal volume of the
building make it extremely cost
effective to heat and cool, while the
round shape and layout make the
circulation and functioning very
efficient.
The placement of our dome was
made intentionally to create and
maintain synergy with our high
school, while also allowing easy
access to the Vanguard Stadium
and a proposed new gym that will
one day be built directly to the
south.
To celebrate the completion of this
wonderful building and one part of
our Strategic Plan, we will be host-
ing a ribbon-cutting ceremony on
Friday, October 13, at 4:00 P.M.
We proudly invite our school com-
munity and anyone else who wants
to join us for this momentous occa-
sion. In addition to a brief ceremo-
ny, we will also host a reception
and student-led tours of the new
facility.
Cohort Connections Last Year’s Success Creates This Year’s Enthusiasm
Our cohort program, now entering
its fourth year of existence, has
quickly found its way into the
hearts of students and staff mem-
bers alike.
This unique program coordinates
and provides opportunities for our
students to bridge the gap between
grade levels, buildings, and even
campuses by fostering relation-
ships through a variety of activi-
ties. As we enter year four, we are
able to see students remembering
times with their cohort partners
and realizing the connections
they've made in years
past. Internal connections within
the school, not only among the
students but also between the staff
at all levels, promote The Van-
guard School as one K-12 family.
Some of last year’s cohort program
highlights include: cohort ice
cream party/playdates on the 4-6
playground, making encouraging
signs and posters for the cohort
grades in high school for Home-
coming, Cohort Science Day pair-
ing first grade students with ninth
grade buddies through several sta-
tions that explored different as-
pects of habitats, seventh grade
math students teaching math les-
sons to the third graders, high
schoolers hiding eggs and doing
the bunny hop with kindergartners,
and a reunion of the first and ninth
grade cohort buddies for a Book
Buddy read-aloud time just before
Spring Break.
Behind the scenes of this program
every year is a group of dedicated
K-12 teachers. These teachers
meet on a regular basis, using their
curriculum maps to brainstorm
ideas and possibilities to prepare
enriching activities to connect our
students at all grade levels, foster-
ing a level of relationship often
undeveloped at other schools.
While 2016-2017 yielded the best
cohort year to date, our hope for
the 2017-2018 school year is to
grow even bigger by having more
events planned and even greater
staff participation, planning, and
true ownership and understanding
of the value that this program
brings to our school.
Parent Teacher Organization PTO Gears Up for Another Successful Year
Behind every happy teacher and
well stocked classroom is a dedi-
cated Parent Teacher Organization
(PTO), working behind the scenes
by organizing fundraising and
community-building events to raise
not only money for the school, but
also the sense of family and com-
mitment among our teachers, stu-
dents, and families.
Vanguard’s PTO ended last year
well with the Coursers Stampede
Color Run, the final event of the
year that was created to raise funds
for new filtered water fountains for
each of our buildings.
In addition to raising over $35,000
last year from the Coursers Stam-
pede, Holiday Gift Shop, and the
Cookie Dough Sale, PTO hosted
many family friendly events over
the course of the year with the in-
tent of bringing together our school
community. Whether it was the
free Movie Nights, the Trunk or
Treat Fall Festival, or the Parent
Prom dances, all who attended a
PTO-sponsored event left feeling
happy, content, and connected.
Our PTO needs more parents who
are willing to continue the wonder-
ful traditions that have been creat-
ed. Parents interested in making a
tangible difference in the lives of
our students, teachers, and our
community can contact PTO at
SAVE THE DATE!

Coaches Corner New Coaching Faces for 2017-2018
Our eleventh year of Vanguard
athletics is on the horizon, and
each team looks poised and ready
for another successful season.
In addition to each team having
new and returning athletes on their
rosters, we also have several new
coaches joining us this year!
Rachel Francis, high school Eng-
lish assistant teacher, will be head-
ing up the junior high boys basket-
ball team this Fall. From previous
experience last year serving as our
high school assistant girls soccer
coach and coordinator for the sum-
mer soccer program, Rachel has a
wide skill range and knowledge of
athletics, and we are excited to
have her using her expertise to
support our junior high boys on the
basketball court.
Also new to the coaching staff this
year is Kari Miller, a familiar face
to our secondary history depart-
ment. As our high school head
cross country coach, Kari brings
with her a wealth of experience
from her time running cross coun-
try at John Brown University. Her
compassionate spirit, coupled with
her leadership skills, guarantee that
our cross country team members
will have a fantastic season with
her as their coach.
Joining Kari for cross country is
Scott Palmer, an elementary assis-
tant teacher. Scott will be support-
ing our cross country teams as the
assistant coach for the boys and
girls, and his love for running and
knowledge of cross country make
him a perfect fit for this new role.
Our high school girls volleyball
team has two new faces this year.
Todd Thornton, a Vanguard parent
and former Navy volleyball team
player, has helped in the past with
our junior high volleyball teams,
and this year he decided he’s ready
for the challenge of coaching our
high school team. When he isn’t
around the school, he works at
Norad as an Exercise Planner.
The second new face for our vol-
leyball program is Scott Brenner,
who works as the Senior Director
of IT at David C. Cook. With a
daughter playing volleyball for
Vanguard already, slipping into
this role to coach our newly
formed C-team works well for
both him and our school.
With all of our new coaching staff
and a record number of student
athletes playing on our teams, you
do not want to miss Vanguard ath-
letics this year!
Full game schedules and additional
information can be found on the
Athletics page of our website at
www.TheVanguardSchool.com.
Solar Eclipse Captivates Students
On Monday, August 21, Vanguard
students had the opportunity to wit-
ness the solar eclipse thanks to the
Charlie Bates Astronomy Project’s
donation of hundreds of special so-
lar eclipse viewing glasses!
Pictures Say It Best Highlights from the Beginning of the Year
No First Day Jitters Here!
On Wednesday, August 16, K-12 students
returned to school, ready and eager to
begin another school year! K-8 students
were excited to be back in the classroom,
and our 9-12 students were looking for-
ward to the all school retreat!
Student Spotlight
Caitlyn Mlodzik, Senior
As a child, Caitlyn Mlodzik’s love
for animals inspired her to become
a veterinarian; however, during her
junior high years at Vanguard, her
passion shifted, and her interest in
writing developed as she began
writing short stories. After reading
Lord of The Flies, Mr. Schwab’s
choral ode assignment sparked
Caitlyn to write “The Death of Si-
mon” as a tribute to the character
Simon in the book.
Caitlyn’s years at Vanguard have
been busy with music, academics,
and writing. Her nine years of
clarinet experience has earned her
the honor of being the first chair
clarinet and concert master for the
Vanguard Instrumental Music Pro-
gram. Vanguard’s program that
includes Latin, classical history,
and mythology have spurred Cait-
lyn’s interests, and she feels that
her four years of Latin have really
helped to make the connection to
English grammar and vocabulary.
Last year, Caitlyn received recog-
nition at the Colorado Scholastic
Art and Writing Competition. Af-
ter submitting four pieces, she re-
ceived a Gold Key for her short
story and three Bronze Medals for
each of her poems. This past sum-
mer, four of Caitlyn’s poems were
published in three different literary
publications: Save the Earth Poet-
ry, Thurston Howl Publications,
and the American Literary of Poet-
ry.
When not writing, Caitlyn enjoys
reading, baking, and volunteering
for writing-based organizations
such as Comic Con. Working with
this organization has given her the
opportunity to meet writers, artists,
and celebrities such as Shaggy
(Matthew Lillard) from “Scooby
Doo,” Darth Vader (Spencer Wild-
ing) of “Rouge One,” and the en-
tire cast from “The Walking
Dead!”
To further hone her writing skills,
Caitlyn plans to attend college next
fall and intends on majoring in
English, with a minor in Creative
Writing.
