A team of Westminster FFA students wowed us at Tuesday’s Board meeting with a powerful presentation on GMOs—complete with picket signs showing both sides of the debate. Our Board peppered them with questions, and they responded with poise and depth. Well done, kiddos! @WPSNewsNow

Huge thanks to @Ballin25Braun! He’s always amazing, but tonight he went next level—unprompted, he had Jax take off his Westbrook jersey, ran it to the locker room, and got Russ to sign it. Only problem? Every signed jersey goes straight to a display case-including yours! #Nuggets

Love this quote from AI Keynote @LearningForward. “Our job as teachers is not to “prepare” kids for something; our job is to help kids learn to prepare themselves for anything.”
