Lovely day for a walk around the Westview Mile with our new 6th graders. Prettiest campus around. #StVrainStorm

Westview triumphs! Once again Westview is the district champion at the Geography Bee. Westview took first and third and all 4 teams placed top 10. Mr. Crane and Ms. Ellis coached them well! #StVrainStorm ⁦@SvvsdSchuh⁩ ⁩ ⁦@SVVSDsupt⁩ ⁦@SVVSD⁩ @COSchoolsProud

The Broncos getting nothing for Simmons is Patonly absurd. All the best to a great player and a classy guy.

Seriously tho. Colorado isn’t this pretty.

It’s cold. All the time.

Mountains are small. Skiing is atrocious.

Don’t come here.

It’s a hell scape. Worse than this website.

@GiftedTawk I have a folder in my desk labeled “why I teach.” I pull it out on those days I feel defeated and burned out. #lifelines

Summer fun—saw an osprey having a brook trout for breakfast. Could be the same one I’d caught and released the night before. #lifeisfragilesavorit
