Jenn Swanson and Cliff Weining brought Entomology to Primero’s middle school stu- dents as part of the STEM (science, technol- ogy, engineering, and mathematics) out- reach program. This presentation introduced the biologi- cal field of entomology as well as important social and economic implications associ- ated with insects and world history. The presentation also included visual aids in the form of an insect collection containing over 15 orders. Ms. Josette Lutz, Primero’s science teacher, is excited about using her commu- nity contacts to bring special presentations like this to Primero. “I have been working with Jenn through STEM. She was one of our judges for science fair. I have been working with Cliff on getting students signed up for Upward Bound Math and Sci- ence. We came together to bring their influ- ences in science to the students at Primero.” “I love that the presentation is hands-on and full of information for the students,” adds Lutz. “I love that TSJC would take the time to bring these programs to our stu- dents.” With STEM majors in ever-increasing demand in the job market, Lutz under- stands that programs like this one are vi- tal. “We are hoping to pique the students’ curiosity in science. Hopefully this will lead some to a career in science. The more the students are aware, the more it will help the community become aware.” Another exciting science program was brought to Primero’s stu- dents recently when Elisa Dawson of the Purgatoire Watershed Partnership (PWP) visited Primero. Dawson explains, “Part of our mission focuses on education and outreach of our local watershed, natu- ral resources, and the envi- ronment. We have recently received grant funding and are now offering several free field trip and program op- portunities.” One program through the PWP in which Prim- ero plans to participate next year is the RiverWatch pro- gram. Lutz explains that this program will really benefit Primero’s students: “I like that the program is a hands-on program that will allow me to bring field study into the classroom.” Students participate in exciting science programs PRIMERO SCHOOL DISTRICT Photos courtesy of Illana Lutz Primero’s NHS Primero recently held an induction ceremony for new National Honor Society mem- bers on April 29 at the school.

HOEHNE FBLA STATE FINALISTS By Michael Richardson and Jenifer Kramarz Hoehne High School Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) state-qualifying students at Hoehne School joined others across the state in Vail, Colo- rado on April 23-25, to compete in individual, group and chapter busi- ness-themed events. This year’s Na- tional theme is Step Up to the Chal- lenge and the 14 students at Hoehne High school who attended the Lead- ership Conference and Competition did just that. Hoehne FBLA, under the direc- tion of their co-presidents, Michael Richardson and Jennifer Kramarz, brought back several awards in- cluding the PEAK V Award, which is the highest Chapter recognition and honor for Colorado FBLA. As a chapter, students were involved in a variety of different events including a Community Ser- vice Project lead by Randi Silver, Jasmine Walker, Tyler Moltrer and Alice Douvillez.

CTE programs like FBLA are investing in students’ lives with the opportu- nities and skills that will prepare students to become successful em- ployees as well as future business leaders. At a time when job opportuni- ties are so critical, CTE programs in every community are ensuring students are adequately equipped with the skills to successfully enter the workforce. As the American economy recovers, the role of CTE is increasingly important. CTE pro- grams, like FBLA-PBL, play a criti- cal role in preparing America’s fu- ture workforce and improving the United State’s economy.
