Julie Thompson has been a science teacher in the Boulder Valley School District for an impressive 19 years, with the past 15 at Boulder High School.

Recently, the Eisenhower Elementary School Eco Eagles Green Team was asked to speak at the Board of Education meeting, as part of the Student Moment, an opportunity to recognize student leadership in the Boulder Valley School District. Representatives from the group shared the outstanding progress they’ve made in implementing sustainability practices and their efforts can serve as an exemplar for other students throughout the district.
BVSD continues to make progress on the goals established in the Sustainability Action Plan. Staff provided an annual update to the Board recently in honor of Earth month. The district is in year three of a five-year effort towards its latest set of sustainability goals. BVSD has had a formal sustainability program with established goals since 2009.
After nearly a full school year on hold, composting has slowly returned to school cafeterias this school year, to the excitement of many Boulder Valley School District students and staff.
