Hello and welcome back from Jason Brinkley!

Last week we had a great time seeing you all again, meeting some of you for the first time, and getting into the groove of High School re-tooled.

Along with our new furniture, touch TVs, paint, and carpeting, we welcome some fresh faces to our team: Dale Kern in Social Studies, Amanda Matthews in English, and Amy Schneider in Science!

We started our first week with a mix of regular classes and some adulting 101, with everything from sewing a button to interest rates to changing a tire! Sophomores and Juniors took a day to visit CU Boulder. Go Buffs!

During week two we held mock interviews to prepare us for what that would be like for real. A special thank you to all the outside volunteers for making it possible. We also visited my Alma Mater—MSU Denver—and the University of Colorado at Denver.

This week, we will be on our regular schedule. Good luck at FRCC!

As always, if students or parents have a concern, go to the teacher first, then the advocate, then Mrs. Novak, our High School Administrator. I look forward to all we will accomplish together this year!
