Blevins Bulletin

Hello Blevins Families,

We had a great week at Blevins, including the wonderful preview of spring weather (70 degrees and snow the next day!). This is a good reminder that we are springing ahead with time change this weekend.

I'm excited to share that three of our amazing Bruins were recognized by the Fort Collins Rotary Club for Students of the Month! They are Kennedy Baker (6th grade), Joel Hunger (7th grade), and Maya Coulson (8th grade). Our teachers recommended these students to the Rotary Club for being amazing examples of what it means to be a Bruin and how they make our school community a better place for everyone. I'm proud of each of these students and am grateful to the Rotary Club for their recognition.

Our Girls' Basketball team finished their season on Wednesday. We are proud of the growth and collective commitment that they showed throughout the season, including some fantastic wins and constant teamwork. Thanks to our coaching staff, including Mr. Cormia, for their dedication to this group.

Please join me in wishing our Wrestling team good luck as they travel to Wellington for district championships tomorrow! Their grit and determination have been on full display all season, and we can't wait to see how they shine tomorrow. Thanks also to our coaching staff, including head coach Arneson, our very own Mr. Solomon, for their support of this team.

Lastly, I want to give a shout out to Rocky Mountain High School and their Teacher Cadet program! For the past few weeks, high school students have been observing our classes and working alongside our students as they get a feel for what it's like to be an educator. This program at Rocky is students' first taste at being a teacher and we love the partnership with this group and the motivation it creates to develop those future teachers!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Proudly,

Joe Zappa, Principal
