Hello Education Advocates!
Are you looking for some new workout opportunities that are convenient and free? Then the virtual fitness classes that Laura Knox will be offering the entire network twice a week could be just what you’ve been looking for! Laura is an English teacher at Montview High School, and has also been teaching fitness classes for over 10 years and currently teaches at Carla Madison Rec Center in Denver. She has a passion for fitness and wellness, and believes that fitness has just as many mental benefits as it has physical.
This week on Pet of the Week, we’re spotlighting College View High School teacher Haley Rice’s outrageously cute Pomsky, aka Pomeranian/Husky mix, named Sage.
We encourage you to read this fascinating and important report!

Before COVID put an end to large gatherings, community members from the Far Northeast, including students, families, and staff, were turning out by the hundreds to show their support for a DSST Noel High School. And yet the Bulldogs at Noel still do not have a clear path to a high school.
Being a Caregiver and a fully committed member of the DSST network truly takes a village to do well. Rosita Mallo is a testament to these incredible efforts and dedication as she ensures students have opportunities for remarkable internships across the nation, all while maintaining wellness as she cares for her family.
While we have begun the school year remotely, with empty classrooms and hallways across the network, the work of our school operations team has not gotten any simpler. From coordinating the checkout of nearly 7,000 laptops, to helping ensure that 100% of our students have access to the internet, the Ops team has had their work cut out for them! This week, we’re highlighting Greg Avedikian, Manager of School Operations, and his two dogs Stella and Bodie. Greg is the operations partner for Aurora Science & Tech, College View MS & HS, and Henry MS, and works to help ensure the Front Office teams at those campuses have what they need to make their schools run smoothly, while also planning and coordinating capital construction and maintenance projects with our DPS and APS partners.

As we close out the first week of school, a little bit of “cattitude” may be just what the doctor ordered. That’s why we are delighted to share Senior Manager of Leadership Development Theresa Loth’s beloved Snarles Barkley.
