Finding Their Voice: Aspen Academy Students Attend the STAMP Conference
  • The Aspen Difference
Jessie Skipwith

This year, nine Aspen Academy 7th- and 8th-grade students had the opportunity to attend the STAMP (Students Taking Action and Making Progress) Conference, a day focused on student voice, identity, inclusion, belonging, advocacy, and leadership.

Most of the students who attended are members of Aspen Academy's Student Inclusion Leadership Club (SILC). Additional 7th- and 8th-grade students were invited to participate as well, recognizing that the conversations and experiences offered at STAMP can be meaningful for any student interested in learning, connecting with others, and growing as a leader.

Some of the most powerful lessons don’t happen sitting behind a desk at school. They happen when we step out of the classroom and into the world, carrying the values we’ve learned and putting them into action. This is something I’ve been privileged to witness over the past nine years as a volunteer at Aspen Academy, and recently, I saw it manifest in a whole new way with my granddaughter, Izzy.

This was a year of real results — in the classroom, on the field, in our businesses, and in the relationships that make Aspen unlike any school you'll find.

Our students ran 19 businesses at the Entrepreneurs Expo, the most in our history, and generated our highest-ever revenue in Bear's Student Enterprises. They published their own video games. They launched service learning initiatives, donated 2,000 meals to the Food Bank of the Rockies, and raised funds for the Wild Animal Sanctuary.
