Graduate Gift
Each year Aspen Academy’s graduating class selects a Graduate Gift that embodies Aspen Academy’s values, and supports Aspen Academy’s mission, while transforming the Aspen Academy experience for years to come.
The 8th Grade Class of 2024 and their families partnered with our Head of School to contribute a redesigned, relocated and stocked Bear Student Enterprise store as well as a student designated meeting room. This is in addition to a fully renovated cafe and coffee service. When complete, the project cost will be around $42,000 ($780 per 8th grade student). With the students' help in planning, painting and moving, the project began last spring and is being completed over the summer.
The Class of 2025 will begin their journey in January to select, design and fund their graduate gift of choice.
