Giving & Cheer Day 2: Honoring the Core Value of Curiosity
During her time at DSST, Hannah Hathaway was deeply committed to facilitating deep learning among her students in biology and drew many connections to various initiatives happening in our communities. Hannah was instrumental in building the vision for DSST programming that will continue to impact students and programming into the future.
In considering Hannah's investment in the biosciences, and her value of community partnership, her donation will go to benefit The Sand Creek Regional Greenway, a nearly 13-mile public trail and natural area located in the northeast Denver metro area.
The Sand Creek Regional Greenway Partnership was established to protect, maintain and enhance the Sand Creek Regional Greenway, and is committed to enhancing the equitable access, awareness, and engagement of the Greenway.

Hello all, my name is Megan Schierbeck, and I run our only Affective Needs program in the DSST Network at Cole High School! I could not have won this award on my own. It was a massive team effort for everyone who works at Cole, and especially the support specialists -- Sue Wolf, Amanda Molinar, Valeria Mendoza, and Rubi Estrada -- who ensure that our program runs smoothly and students receive the support they deserve with the support of our mental health team Alex Wirth and Mackenzie Brees.

Innovative school on medical campus opens student's eyes to future nursing career
The 14-year-old wants to become a nurse someday.
She lives in Aurora, adjacent to the Anschutz Medical Campus, the only academic medical center in the Rocky Mountain region. Also on campus is Bri Hayes’ innovative school, Aurora Science & Tech (AST).
Even so, Bri had never met a nurse until she and her fellow AST ninth graders took a field trip and walked from their school at 2450 N. Scranton St. a few blocks south to see the ER and other parts of UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital.
