Parents danced and sang \u201cSummer\u2019s out\u201d in a mix-up parity of the famous 70\u2019s hit \u201cSchool\u2019s out\u201d by Alice Cooper (whatever happened to his bar in LoDo?).\n\u201cThis is the greatest day ever,\u201d announced a highly intoxicated Cael Sanderson, who is part of a massive number of parents that take the first day of school off from work and go drinking. \u201cI love my kids, but I was so f***ing sick of them!\u201d Other parents traded beads, flashing fake boobs, and kissing strangers. The first day of school has become Stapleton\u2019s very own Mardi Gras.

Westerly Creek Parent Chris Sword is glad parents from all three schools can share some camaraderie. \u201cDuring the year, it\u2019s a big pissing contest about what school is the best.\u00a0 But the day school starts is just all about partying.\u201d\nThe Berkshire plans to open their doors by 9:30 next year, and will be providing a live band for entertainment, along with roping off a large portion of 29th ave.
