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.

This time of the year is always special. As the school year wraps up, it’s a perfect time for all of us to reflect on what has been accomplished and how much all of our students have grown. I couldn’t be more proud. As we begin Summer Break, I hope that it is a fun and safe time of learning and adventure!

The Boulder Valley School District is proud to celebrate the Class of 2025 and its many varying accomplishments. Among those, we are pleased to share the names of students who have been selected for outstanding academic honors in our district.

climate seal

This year’s graduation season is extra special at BVSD because the District had its first class of students who obtained the Seal of Climate Literacy. In April, as a fitting tribute to Earth Month, twenty students representing numerous BVSD high schools presented portfolios that illustrated their “green trailway” during their time in the district and then received their Seal of Climate Literacy certificates, medals (made of sustainably sourced wood) and bamboo cords to wear at graduation.
