International Baccalaureate students aim to return Fravert Reservoir to its former glory
Four Rifle High School students organized a day of cleaning to help restore the reservoir as a part of their project for the program.
As a part of their CAS project for the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, the students have incorporated creativity, activity and service (CAS) into a day of cleaning that they hope will spark positive change around the reservoir and throughout the community. These environmental stewards have a shared goal of giving back to the place that’s given them and their peers so much over the years.
Congratulations to the Garfield Re-2 Destination Imagination teams headed to VIRTUAL Globals
The Wamsley "Wonder Kids" placed 2nd in elementary in the fine arts challenge.

Congratulations CRHS Senior Joseph Thompson on earning a Daniels Scholarship
Doors have opened for Joseph Thompson.
“It really does just give me lots of options school wise,” he said of receiving the Daniels Scholarship. “I thought that was really awesome, that I can kind of make a decision based solely on where I want to go, instead of how much it costs to where I want to go.”
Thompson, who moved to New Castle when he was 8 years old, went to Kathryn Senor Elementary School and later Riverside Middle School.

Coal Ridge National Honor Society "cleans up" over Spring Break
Over Springbreak the CR NHS did a two-mile highway clean-up of their Adopt-a-Highway section of Hwy 6. Twenty-two kids gave up some Spring Break time to collect over 40 bags of highway trash.
