We are nearing the end of the 2020-2021 school year and we are excited about the engaging learning and fun events that will fill our last few weeks. As we close out this school year, we are already planning for next year! The Blue Heron personnel committee has been busy the last few weeks screening and interviewing candidates for our vacant positions for next year. We are happy to introduce you to our newest Blue Heron team members, please see below to meet the team!
In partnership,

Welcome Back Kristin Snowden, 5th Grade
Hello Blue Heron Families-
I am thrilled to return to Blue Heron this fall to teach 5th grade again. My husband and I are Colorado natives who love living in the foothills just outside Denver. We enjoy all things outside like hiking, biking, and finding adventure with our four fabulous rescue dogs! I have taught for twenty years in a few settings, including 4th, 5th, and 6th grade! This spring, I will be receiving my master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction.
Meet our new Principal Secretary, Irene Keenaghan
Meet Alec Boyd, Health Aide
I joined Blue Heron Elementary to fulfill my insatiable hunger to help anyone I can however I can, and I love kids so it's a win, win. In my free time, I like to run my podcast, which is all about superheroes. I like to watch movies and take long strolls up and down the driveway, because we don't have a beach. I did theater for 3 years in high school and I can cook a mean cheese burger and chocolate chip cookies.
Field Day!
