What a WEEK! 🐟 Incredibly fortunate to spend the week with the Outdoor Understanding for Teachers (OUT) crew in the Arkansas River Valley🏅learning about our watersheds and the wildlife and people that depend on them. I can’t thank the @Lyons_ES PTO enough! 💜@COParksWildlife
A perfect ending to Discovery Fair season! CU Wizards put on a jam-packed show full of physics magic… flowing “lava,” jumping snakes, secret messages, see-through technology… Wow! Thanks to all the kids & families who made the trek. Next show is on Feb. 28th. @svvsdSTEMexplor
What a day at our Soaring Heights Robotics Tournament! 🤖🏆
Shoutout to Team Lead Jamie Nesbitt, coaches Cassie Evanson + Taylor Gasser, our amazing volunteers who supported teams + judging, @ErieHighRobots and the @ICSVVSD for making it all happen. We’re so proud! 💙
💻 Getting a head start on #ComputerScienceWeek a little early this year with @rodocodogame’s #hourofcode activities. Did we encounter challenges? You betcha, but as one first grader put it best, “If we put our mind to it, we can achieve anything.” 🫠💕 #csedweek@Lyons_ES
Our trout are growing! From the heartbeat in the egg as they were becoming alevin; now as sweet fry! The magic happens because of our 5th graders track PH, water temp, ammonia levels and fish growth; Fish Whisperers guide our young ichthyologists! #stvrainadvantage#stvrainstorm
The CO #Pollinator Summit was truly inspiring — passionate experts, meaningful conversations, and a shared commitment to pollinator health. Leaving motivated to bring strong, science-based content to my students. 🌸🐝 #coloradopollinatornetwork#biodiversity#regenerativeag
A true pinch me moment! We’re honored to be a Lyons Community Foundation annual grant recipient. Deep gratitude to our community and donors for supporting a new museum installation created by local elementary and high school students. @Lyons_ES@LyonsLionsCO@TownofLyons
🔬🎨 The CU DASY retreat was packed with science, collaboration, & inspiration. So interesting to explore the CO Mountain Research Station! Big thanks to our guest speakers, scientist partners, & Lyons teammates as we turn watershed data into a museum installation! @Lyons_ES
Second grade students have already donated 258 pounds of organic produce to our @TownofLyons local food bank, LEAF. We have 2 big 🎃that might tip the scales soon! Students plant, care for, and harvest all for a great cause! @Lyons_ES@MayorRogin#STEM
🎁 Always getting cool presents in the #STEM lab! Students love displaying their findings under the doc camera for the rest of the school! @Lyons_ES@SVVSDScience
🌊 Students headed out to St. Vrain Creek to study creek flow! They measured depth, width, length, and timed a ping pong ball’s journey down 30 feet of water. Beyond the science, teamwork and communication were key!🍃📊 #OutdoorEducation#STEM#EnvironmentalLeadership@Lyons_ES
Hard to know which group is more excited for our first #ScienceAndLeadership Late Start this Wednesday - our fabulous students will be running the show, so be sure to ask your kids about their favorite part! See you at 10.30 on Wednesday! @SVVSDsupt@SVVSD@MrsWegert
Excited for the new 2025-26 cohort of Science Leaders! These students are bringing their strengths & talents to design & facilitate high quality #science lessons to @Lyons_ES K-5th grade students. Reflection and feedback are ��� and we’re here for it! @LyonsLionsCO @SVVSDScience
2nd graders are back at school and back to work in our veggie garden! 🥕🌱 Our harvest heads straight to the local food bank, a hands-on way to live our school’s Environmental Leadership focus. 💚 #EnvironmentalLeadership#STEM#ServiceLearning@Lyons_ES
