Things happening @ Columbine
Fifth graders trip to Calwood
Second grade field trip
Pen Pal activity with Spain
These are the wonderful results of the cultural exchange we conducted with CEU San Pablo Sanchinarro in Madrid (Spain) where our second grader teacher, Ruth Roman, used to work.
Mrs. Ruth organized a pen pal activity between the two schools, where 25 students from each school wrote letters to each other. In these letters, they shared details about their lives, schools, hobbies, interests, and much more. It was a wonderful opportunity for the students to connect on a personal level, learn about each other’s cultures, and build friendships through written communication.

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.

Earlier this month, BVSD’s sustainability team provided the annual update to the Board on the district’s work toward goals detailed in the Sustainability Action Plan and the Green New Deal resolution. BVSD made some big sustainability gains this year across all action areas.

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.
