Colorado Rockies mascot Dinger will join the "Spirit Day" festivities from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Friday, Sept. 30 at Lowry Elementary School.
The school is celebrating "Spirit Day" to encourage student attendance on the state's official student enrollment count day. (Colorado public school districts are funded by the state based on annual Oct. 1 student enrollment counts. In Denver, funding per pupil is approximately $6,600.)

Universal values stressed in character education include respect, responsibility, citizenship, caring and honesty.
