The Cherry Creek School District's Long Range Facility Planning Committee - has reported on the district's long-term needs. This was shared in their "Dedicated to Excellence", 2008 Spring Newsletter which is mailed to shareholders. The plans are due to the expected growth, indicated by the City of Aurora and Arapahoe County. Enrollment in the Cherry Creek School District is expected to reach nearly 54,000 by 2012.
The committee completed a Five-Year Needs Assessment, covering 2008-2012. This included analysis of current needs and future projections. Below is their recommendation as taken from the "Cherry Creek School District Shareholders 2008 Spring Update".
The Board will study these recommendations in April, and make a decision on how to proceed.
And, in order to raise awareness, I wanted to share with you a fundraising project sponsored by Arapahoe County. Painted piggy banks are being left at several locations and the residents and community are invited to participate by feeding the "piggies". All prooceeds will be donated to Families First and their abuse prevention programs. Families First is a nonprofit organization that strives to protect children by strengthening families and by providing parent education and support.
Painted piggy banks are being left at the following locations:
Administration Building: 5334 S Prince Street, Littleton, Colorado
Arapahoe Plaza third floor: 1690 W Littleton Blvd, Littleton, Colorado
Justice Center: 7305 S. Potomac Street, Suite #101, Centennial, Colorado
Public Works and Developement: 10730 E Briarwood Ave. Suite # 100, Centennial, Colorado
Sheriffs Office: 131 Broncos Parkway, Centennial, Colorado
The Centennial City Council voted unanimously on February 20th, to purchase two properties adjacent to the City Civic Center. The Westerra Credit Union located at 13133 East Arapahoe Road will become the new City offices later this year. In addition, the 11 acres surrounding the building can be designated as parks, open space, trails as well as other community uses.
The cost for the building and properties is $6.7 million. Of this amount, $4.1 million will come out of the City's General Fund and $2.6 million will come out of the Open Space and Conservation Trust Fund (Centennial's share of the Arapahoe County Open Space Tax and the Colorado Lottery).
The Advisory Board for Parks, Open Space, Recreation and Trails has been asked to help design the 11 acre parkland.
The City had been leasing office space for the past several years . The new purchase will provide the City with an investment rather than paying rent to another entity.

The Picture Of Real Estate - what's happening where you live, comments on the local real estate market, remodeling tips, topics of interest, community and local news, places to see and things to do!
We hear all the time, "I don't know how the two of you do it - I could never work with my spouse!" Understandably, it is a rare couple that enjoys working together. This year we celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary and we have been working together for 19 years and we wouldn't choose to have it any other way. Our courtship makes for a funny story, which we love to share. In our spare time, we enjoy volunteering, gardening, exercising, hiking, concerts, theater, movies, reading, travel, and time spent with family and friends.
Robert and I have a very simple approach to our successful Denver real estate career. Our business is based on providing superior customer service and building lasting relationships. Our clients can expect professional service based on trust, honesty and our total commitment. Robert and I pride ourselves in providing personal service and attention to every detail, assisting you to make a move that not only fits your immediate needs, but your long term goals as well. "When building a relationship, everything you do, everything you say and every action you take, has an impact on that relationship". We try to never lose sight of that. You are the most important client that we have!
Commited to being the best in our profession, Robert and I have earned the designations of Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), Certified School and Community Advisor (CSCA), Graduate of Real Estate Institute (GRI), and e-PRO Internet Professional (e-PRO).
Why are these designations important to you?
Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) is the symbol of excellance in residential real estate. There's over one million REALTORS in business today. So, if you want to find that one-in-a-million REALTOR, start with the over 39,000 who hold the Certified Residential Specialist designation. CRS members have proven they have the experience, training and commitment to be among the best in their profession.
Certified School and Community advisor (CSCA) empowers real estate professionals with the training and resources they need to help them become the local expert on school and community information. This expertise is what differentiates those who have earned the CSCA designation from those who haven't.
Graduate REALTOR Institute (GRI) is the mark of a real estate professional who has made the commitment to provide a high level of professional services by securing a strong educational foundation. REALTORS with the GRI designation are highly trained in many areas of real estate to better serve and protect clients.
e-PRO Internet Professional (e-PRO) is awarded to real estate professionals who have proven to be prepared to respond to the new market place. e-PRO's are commited to being more responsive, understand that you are the boss, and will completely respect and guard your privacy. They are committed to using the Internet with skill, integrity, and professionalism.
Work with a professional who has made these extra commitments, work with us!
With 27 years of experience in the Denver real estate market, we work full-time in the residential market, both with resales and new home construction. Our primary service area is Denver and the southern suburbs on both sides of the I-25 corridor, including the cities of Centennial, Denver, Aurora, Englewood, Greenwood Village, Littleton, Highlands Ranch & Parker. In addition, we have extensive knowledge of the townhome and condominimum communities, especially those neighborhoods that border the popular Highline Canal Trail.
Robert and I enjoy working with both buyers and sellers. Servicing both types of clients keeps us well rounded in our knowledge of the local market. With that being said, we also enjoy working with a wide variety of clients, from the first time home buyer, to the internet savy, the experienced client and seniors as well. We work with every client as individuals and discuss their needs and comfort level for needing our assistance, to ensure that every detail of the transaction goes smoothly.

With the backing of the Parent Relocation Foundation, PRC Certified Agents are able to support their community by offering Scholarship Awards to college bound students, and special Scholarship and Recognition Awards to Students, Teachers and Citizens who tirelessly give back to their community through the PRC Quiet Hero Award Program.

However, what stands out most for me in this whole experience was their people skills. They managed to keep me calm and smiling through all the stress, while always remaining extremely professional. More than anything, I loved working with Jani and Bob, just because of the people they are. Their professionalism was an added bonus!"
