Zanita Garcia, Airyanna Sisneros, Luz Elena Parra Ramirez, Lexie Maez, Annika Sisneros, and James Copsy are the brilliant writers of the South Conejos Six. They were lead by their creative writing teacher, Maddie Stouder. This collection explores the intricacies of Antonito and the students' personal experiences. We want to thank all our partners for brining this experience together for our students: History Colorado, Museum of Memory, Fort Garland Museum and Culture Center, Antonito Together, Arts in Society, and the Colorado Trust. Copies of the journal will be available in the upcoming weeks at the Antonito Public Library.

SOUTH CONEJOS SCHOOL DISTRICT POLICY KF-R: Community Use of School Facilities Responsibility The superintendent shall be responsible for the administration of the accompanying policy on community use of school facilities. The role of the superintendent shall be that of assisting potential users in finding suitable space and providing technical assistance to appropriate building staff upon request. Scheduling After district activities have been scheduled, space will be available with attention to broad and equitable use of facilities. Alternate locations will be offered whenever possible if a particular building cannot accommodate all requests. All use is subject to the general guidelines and availability of district staff. The administrative secretary shall be responsible for notification of each principal and head custodian of the date and time of all building activities and the rooms reserved and for keeping a calendar of all rental commitments and reservations for regular school activities during the year. Permission for use during the hours of the regular school day or during the period immediately after the closing of school, which in the judgment of the principal may be necessary for school purposes, may be refused. Permission will not be granted for use Monday through Thursday evenings for any high school facility in which an adult school program is being conducted if in the judgment of the principal such use would interfere with or impede the conduct of the school program. Field use Fields will be available for approved community use. This use is subject to cancellation or adjustment due to weather or field conditions. Groups requesting reserved and exclusive use shall be charged a fee based on the number of teams and fields used. Application for use Written approval is required for use of a school building or grounds by any group that is not a part of the regular public school program. Such approvals which are considered to be a part of these regulations may be granted for a single use or a limited, continuing use. The requestor must submit a completed application form for “Use of School Facilities” to the superintendent for approval, denial, or modification. Approval will depend upon satisfactory assurance that the use of the school facility will be under the direct supervision of an adult who in the judgment of the superintendent is responsible and competent to supervise the proposed program or activity. The supervision provided by each renting group must be adequate to ensure that the members of the group remain in the assigned portion of the facility. If required by school officials, guards or uniformed police also must be provided at the expense of the user. If approved, the activity will be added to the building master calendar and copies of the application will be completed and distributed to the head custodian, principal, applicant and other school personnel as deemed necessary. Cancellation and revocation The user must notify the superintendent if the event is canceled or times are adjusted. Repeated and/or short notification of cancellations may result in denial of further requests for building use. The district reserves the right to cancel building use permits should the space be needed for school or school-related activities. This privilege will be used only when necessary due to unavoidable circumstances. Attempts will be made to offer alternative space. The district may revoke building use at any time. When this occurs, appropriate financial adjustments will be made. General regulations 1. A regularly employed member of the custodial staff must be on duty during the use of any school building by groups to which permission has been granted. 2. No permit will be transferred to any person or group other than the one to whom issued. 3. Safety All applicable fire and safety laws/regulations governing use of school facilities must be observed at all times, including: a. Auditorium exit lights must be used. b. Open flame (including candles) is prohibited. c. Room capacity is not exceeded. d. Temporary electrical or mechanical modifications are prohibited. e. Flammable holiday or other decorations are prohibited. f. Stairways, corridors and entrances/exits must be kept free from obstruction at all times. g. No equipment, scenery or decorations of any type may be used within the building or on the premises except as specifically authorized in the permit. Such authorized equipment, scenery or decorations, must conform to all local and state regulations and must not be attached to the walls, floors or ceilings (except to anchors presently provided). 4. Prohibited activities on district property a. Use or possession of alcohol or controlled substances. For purposes of this regulation, “controlled substances” means drugs identified and regulated under federal law, including but not limited to marijuana
