Students pay an entry fee of $1 each to participate and all funds raised support student clubs. Regardless of ability, we invite the entire CRMS community to join in – and don’t forget your school spirit, costume, and friendly competition!
The 7 events are:

Open water pond swim and party
2.5-mile trail run on Tick Ridge
Campus course cycling time trial
Rock climbing – bouldering in the CRMS Gym
5K Nordic ski (skate or classic) at Spring Gulch
Alpine downhill at the Snowmass Ski Area NASTAR course

PSAT Testing - Required for 9th, 10th & 11th-Grade Students
2026-10-05 - 2026-10-06
The PSAT test is required for all 9th-11th grade students.
The PSAT for 11th grade students is the National Merit Scholar Qualifying Test.
The College Board’s PSAT provides you, your child, and the school with information on how well students are reaching benchmarks for college readiness. PSAT scores are a good indicator of how students will perform on the SAT. PSAT data is also helpful to the school as we align our academic curriculum with College Board benchmarks. Overall, CRMS students outperform the national averages in demonstrating growth over time on College Board assessments.
*PSAT test scores are not reported to colleges.
*When score reports are posted in December, we strongly encourage students to link their College Board account with Khan Academy so they can make use of this robust study tool.
If you have any questions or a conflict, please contact Nancy Draina, Academic Dean.
