Stapleton, Forest City to ‘Go Big’ on Earth Day

by

The Stapleton community has a strong reputation when it comes to overall environmental friendliness, conservation, and recycling. The community through Forest City definitely promotes this avidly. “It is important that as we continue to build more units, we are conscience of the environment around us,” said Forest City Spokesperson Janelle Ayers. “We want to make sure everyone knows that we are the most environmentally friendly community not just in Colorado, but the nation. If we have to buy billboards across the city, purchase bus advertising, or even fly planes with banners, we will do it to get our message across.” [Read more…] about Stapleton, Forest City to ‘Go Big’ on Earth Day

Masters of the Stapleton Easter Egg Scramble: An Inside Look

by

The annual Stapleton Easter Egg scramble is chaos and Darwinism in practice. The organizers’ efforts to try and limit kids to 10 eggs each are noble, but pointless. Every Stapleton parent knows that their child’s ability to get as many eggs as possible, and, most importantly, as many golden eggs as possible, directly correlates to their child’s ability to succeed in school, on the athletic field, and in future popularity contests. For the past five years, two kids have come to dominate the scramble: Skylar Saar and Tim Cox. Though Skylar and Tim were born only a few days and blocks apart, they come from different worlds: Skylar is from Eastbridge and Tim is from Westerly Creek. Each year, Skylar and Tim seem to trade off getting the most golden eggs. Last year, Tim collected 12 as he stiff-armed, tripped, and slide-tackled his fellow scramblers. In 2011, Skylar collected 22 – still a Stapleton record – and left Tim with a bloody nose. I spent two months with both families to try and find out what makes their sons so magnificent at egg collection. [Read more…] about Masters of the Stapleton Easter Egg Scramble: An Inside Look

Stapleton’s Crossfit Women Join Together to Create Stapleton Security Force

by

It has long been understood that the women in Stapleton are simply more attractive than the men. Along these same lines, women in Stapleton are in considerably better shape than their male counterparts. There are several possible reasons for this. “My wife stays at home with the kids,” says Jay Llewellyn. “Now, I am not saying that staying at home is not work. Not at all. But our kids are both in school from 9-3:30 now, so she has had a lot more time. And she has used that time to become smoking hot and ripped.” [Read more…] about Stapleton’s Crossfit Women Join Together to Create Stapleton Security Force

Speak Easy Coming to Stapleton

by

The Stapleton community has been a buzz lately with the news that a Stapleton bar will be coming to the community and offering all sorts of Colorado micro-brews. Residents certainly enjoy the current options, but definitely are not against having another one. “Another bar never hurt anybody, right,” commented North Central Park resident Kelly Seery. “My biggest concern is that it is within biking distance. Sometimes, three 16 oz. glasses of that micro-brew stuff gets me pretty pickled.” [Read more…] about Speak Easy Coming to Stapleton

Five Sterling, CO Families Able to Get Kids into Swigert

by

Many families have expressed their disappointed in not getting their child into a Stapleton elementary within blocks of their home, instead ending up at the school farthest from their homes. “It is really frustrating,” said Brian Harper. “We can look out our window and see Swigert, but our kid got into Stapleton 4. It’s like two miles away, but it is a really annoying drive.” Other families admit the same frustration. “We live three blocks from Westerly Creek,” says Stapleton mom Jamie Collins. “But, we got into Swigert. I know Swigert is a great school, but it is significantly farther away, and not an easy route to eventually ride a bike or walk to.” [Read more…] about Five Sterling, CO Families Able to Get Kids into Swigert
