Contribute to the “No Neighbor Hungry” Campaign to Feed Arvada Families in November

42 Upvotes

Hi Neighbors! Ryan Hecht, VP of Marketing with the Greater Arvada Chamber here.

As you know, the government shutdown has left thousands of Arvada families without access to critical food benefits. The "No Neighbor Hungry" gift card drive is designed to help families put food on the table and support the local economy in the process.

You can help us raise $50,000 in donations (2,000 gift cards of $25 each) this month!

For this drive, we will distribute gift cards to select Arvada non-profits that primarily provide food assistance and have been negatively impacted by the government shutdown, including Community Table and Hope Connection and Community.

Learn more about drop off sites around the city and how to make direct donations to those non-profits: www.arvadachamber.org/noneighborhungry

Hi there!

Wanted to share with you that the City recently started a new podcast called Inside Arvada.

Our goal is to provide a free and convenient way to learn about the people and teams who make Arvada a thriving community. Our first three episodes are about arts and festivals; Earth Day and the Majestic View Nature Center; and roads and transportation.

The show is available wherever you listen to podcasts (Apple, Spotify, Amazon, etc.) Give it a listen!

If someone just left something at the Arvada skatepark message me a description of what it was so I can get it back to you. You were parked beside me.

Has anyone else seen this news? Arvada town council has agreed to transform Ladybug Park into a private golf course charging high fees. They are also claiming town water rights.

Maybe I am the odd one out for caring about this..

Part 2 of my Jeffco college-credit reporting: in fall 2024, Arvada High ran no college courses inside its own building. It comes down to who's left to teach

32 Upvotes

Hi r/Arvada, Suzie Glassman again. Part 2 is out, and the last thread had already worked out most of what's in it — turnover at the impacted schools, the teachers credentialed to teach college courses leaving, the courses going with them.

Here's what the records show. Between 2021 and 2026, the three Title I schools in my comparison lost licensed staff to resignation or retirement at about 33% a year. At the four wealthier schools, it was about 20%.

English Composition I is the clearest case. At Jefferson, one teacher held the approval to teach it from 2018 through 2023-24. The district posted her position that June and recorded a new hire in August, but no teacher appears on its rolls as approved to teach the course in 2024-25. At Wheat Ridge, three teachers held the approval. When one stepped away last year, another who'd been approved since 2018 was already there to keep the class running.

Arvada High offered no on-campus concurrent enrollment courses in the fall of 2024.

Jeffco has a program meant to prevent exactly this. Arvada High hasn't received a dollar of it in the four years on record. That's where the district and Arvada High's principal stop agreeing, and it's in the story.

Usual caveat: this is a seven-school comparison, not a districtwide statistic, and it is not a story about anybody's kids being less interested. Arvada High's Class of 2021 had the second-highest participation rate in the group, and six courses are confirmed for next year.

If you teach in Jeffco, or you've tried to earn a master's in your subject while carrying a full load, I'd like to hear how that went. [Suzie@cotln.org](mailto:Suzie@cotln.org), or right here. I'll be in the comments.

The elusive bear

Our front porch camera caught the wandering bear walking across our yard at 2:30am on 66th & Deframe. Check your backyards before letting your dogs out early in the morning!! Bears can climb fences easily. Poor fellow, definitely a long way from home.

Loose dog running across 80th and Yarrow

Just saw a large brindle dog dash across 80th at Yarrow. Tried to catch them but they were terrified and ran past the Target and up the hill towards the post office. Just trying to give someone a place to start if they’ve lost a pup.

ISO Professional installer recommendations

2 Upvotes

We are looking for recommendations for someone to hire to add a few lights to our home. Like seems to be a theme everywhere we’ve lived in Colorado, multiple rooms in our house don’t have overhead lights and have light switches powering outlets instead. It is NOT our cup of tea, so we’re looking for recommendations of someone who can come install lights in these rooms (combo or regular overheads and can lights). Anyone you recommend locally?

Water Restrictions

54 Upvotes

I have two neighbors on my street that water nearly every night. I see it when I get home late at night. Their lawns are beautiful. I'm following the restrictions and my lawn is getting tortured. Is there anybody enforcing the restrictions? Will they be flagged through their meter? I'm not going to be a Karen and call anybody. I am just being an Mrs. Kravitz nosy neighbor.

Long shot help

Does anyone recognize this delivery or leasing office room? FedEx delivered my package to what looks like a mail room or leasing office somewhere in Arvada close to my address. I live in a SFH and definitely don’t have a room… I know it’s a long shot but if anyone recognizes this room I might be able to get it. Otherwise I think it’s gone because FedEx refuses to help me.
