Anderson
Second-year Manhattan teacher Joey Anderson takes on middle school with a smile, while navigating the challenges of a new career in education

Living with two post-college roommates who both work from home, 24-year-old Joey Anderson’s daily routine as a second-year middle school teacher at Manhattan Middle School looks a lot different from those of his peers. His first exposure to BVSD was as a CU education major completing his practicum at New Vista, while working as the school's night custodian during COVID. Now he's joined the Manhattan staff as a language arts teacher with a bright future ahead.

New Vista
Numerous sustainable features at New Vista boost efficiency and comfort

Earlier this year, the New Vista school community and BVSD celebrated a much-anticipated milestone as students and staff started the second semester of the school year in their brand new building. The new school is remarkable not only because it was designed specifically to support New Vista’s innovative program but also because it joins the ranks of BVSD’s most sustainable schools.

Student feature: The Green Youth Council adds student voices to BVSD’s sustainability work

Students in BVSD are concerned but energized about the climate crisis and have made BVSD’s new Green Youth Council a space to take collective action and focus on hope. The Green Youth Council is a student-led group of passionate middle and high school students in the district. Their goal is to incorporate youth voices into the climate initiatives of BVSD and tackle climate issues with hope and action rather than fear.

Introducing a new digital tool to engage students and staff in district sustainability efforts: A Day in the Life of greenBVSD

This spring, BVSD’s Office of Sustainability is introducing “A Day in the Life of greenBVSD” to help show how sustainability is built into day to day life at BVSD. This project aligns with the greenBVSD Action Plan and the new tool is an idea that arose from discussions with the district’s Sustainability Advisory Committee to highlight and share the features and programs that exist in our schools that support our sustainability goals.

BVSD Health Services Coordinator leads project for Colorado's National Association of School Nurses

Carrie Lee RN, ND, NCSN, and BVSD's Health Services Coordinator and Diabetes Resource Nurse, is leading a project developing a nationally utilized pediatric diabetes curriculum, for the National Association of School Nurses (NASN). Many places across the nation and even other districts within Colorado do not have a dedicated Diabetes Resource Nurse to support schools and students, especially in rural areas.

Lee aims to change that as she is working on a three year project for NASN to implement her knowledge and experience from BVSD and the DRNCO into a nationally-available online curriculum resource for school nurses who care for T1D students.
