Smoky Hill International Baccalaureate Parents Association (SHIBPA)
-
SHIBPA's purpose is to assist in maximizing the SHHS IB experience for all members of the IB Community – students, parents, faculty and administration – thereby facilitating the achievement of the IB Program’s goals. SHIBPA is primarily intended to share information with parents and to support SHHS IB Middle Year Program and IB Diploma Program.
Smoky Hill High School is the only school in the Cherry Creek School District that offers this rigorous program 9th to 12th grade. We want to show our support to the students and faculty. Newsletters are sent out every month to keep everyone up to date on activities and events for our IB students, offer CAS opportunities, dispense information, ask for support with our annual events, and fundraising.
Some of our activities and fundraising include:
- organizing an ice cream social at Freshmen Kickoff
- donations for Personal Project Turn -In Incentive
- providing treats for IB DP Junior Induction Ceremony and IB MYP Completion Ceremony
- sponsorship of the annual year-end Senior IB Recognition Ceremony
- provide support and hospitality at IB information events
- sponsorship of the annual IB Teachers Luncheon
- fundraising for scholarships, IB exam fees, IB resources
- SHIBPA often needs volunteers and donations to help assist IB students and staff.
Usually, it is as simple as donating an item or gift card or perhaps a few dollars to purchase items. If each family donates $10 this school year, we can cover our needs.
