CELEBRATION OF US!
Our beloved cultural celebration returns this fall on October 17! Celebration of Us celebrates each and every part of our campus community's culture, whether it be a nationality, language, race, or other part of your identity. We hope you'll join us at this incredible event.
If you'd like to learn more, or to sign up to host a booth, please complete this form!
Additionally, do you have ties to Norway? Or just really love salmon and hydroelectric power? Contact Katie Sage to join the Celebration of Us Norway booth team. We are currently gathering partnerships to make a Norway booth in the future.
Business Partner Cards
Many of our wonderful business partners have agreed to provide deals and discounts to our community; a free discount card - including things like classes and purchases - can be picked up in the Welcome Center. One per family, please!
Join a Committee
The Collab has committees! Committees are a great way to get involved with the school with a pretty low time commitment; most committees meet about once a month, if that. If you're interested in learning more, please fill out this form! Committee Interest Form
Celebrate World Smile Day on October 2!
Wear yellow or any color that makes you happy, and help us fill our school with smiles! Leadership students will be handing out stickers at the Front and Kinderloop gates. We can’t wait to see all your smiles! See the attached flier for more details.
In Case You Missed It (ICYMI):
Did you miss the school wide Designer Reminders newsletter? You can find it here: Designer Reminders: September 20, 2026
NEWSLETTER SUGGESTIONS:
Have suggestions for the D39 Collaborative newsletter? We’d love to hear from you! Please email Sunny Shariati at sunny@design39collaborative.org.
We remain grateful for you, our campus community, and the impact of this community; thank you for your patience this week, as school internet/phone systems have been down.
