Caught in the Act - Sunrise Superhero
Stacy Blair, assistant principal at Sunrise Elementary, is a life saver, literally! Last week a child was choking in the lunch room. She ran to the child and immediately starting giving her the Heimlich. After several attempts, she finally got the child to cough up the food that was lodged in her throat. (Kudos sent by Amy Roden)

Widefield of Dreams ~ Christian Thew
A future entrepreneur is in the making at Watson Junior High School. Christian Thew has started his own business doing what he loves; creating LEGO figures and accessories. Christian has always had a passion for making his own customized LEGO pieces and decided to take that passion and turn it into profit. Just like real life, Christian created a business proposal and went to his mom (the bank) to request a loan for start-up costs. He then began selling his pieces at local events and fairs, and eventually created his own business Facebook page. Christian spends 20-30 hours a week molding and painting customized LEGO figures and pieces. His favorite classes, 3D printing & modeling and math, help inspire his passion. Christian's dream is to study graphic design in college and open up his own business using UV printing for LEGO compatible items. An example of his customized work is photographed below. He created a LEGO figure resembling Mrs. Mena at Watson.
