"Make us raise the bar for your kids."
DPS Superintendent Tom Boasberg, to northwest parents at the September 2009 Denver Plan presentation at North High

Northwest Neighborhood Middle Schools NOW was formed in 2009 by parents who were in search of an academically strong neighborhood middle school option in Northwest Denver that was socioeconomically and culturally diverse. Currently many NOW members have children attending Skinner with great success.

NOW members worked with the leaders of the already strong Skinner Middle School to win a $500,000 grant that strengthened honors options, Spanish (beginning and advanced) and instrumental music programs. Dedicated leaders and talented staff paired with the strong commitment to academic growth and the full range of sports and academic offerings have made Skinner a school of choice in Northwest Denver.

We encourage all families that seek the well-rounded education of a neighborhood school to join our mailing list (below) to learn about Skinner's programs, success stories, and garner information about how to get involved.

The Skinner boys baseball team finished the regular season well above .500, with a 4-3 record. After a rough start the boys overcame numerous obstacles to come back and win. Two of the three games lost were by only one run, showing that this team had serious heart this year!

Pitchers Christian Robles and Alejandro Granados were team leaders for the rest of the Skinner athletes who were new to the baseball program.

The boys will play their first playoff game against Martin Luther King Middle School this coming Monday, May 9 at 3:45 p.m. at the Skinner field on the corner of W. 41st and Irving. If you have some time on Monday afternoon, come cheer on the team!
