Adapting to a new normal: English teacher David Rowe wasnt expecting the craziness surround 2020. Students and teachers are adjusting to a new reality with socially distanced classrooms and hybrid learning. I realize this is not the sort of situation that anyone wants going into any year of high school, and I really feel that most of them come give me genuine effort, Rowe said. That sort of positive spirit – I really appreciate that.

Beyond Recognition: a road sign just within Rocky Mountain National Park near Grand Lake stands burned only a few yards from where the fire was stopped by firefighters. The Grand Lake entrances to Rocky Mountain National Park were closed, as well as Kawuneeche Visitor Center. A smaller park road remained open with access to employee residences (which had mostly been saved from the fire), a singed picnic ground along the Green Mountain Trail, which was virtually gone, and some residences just outside the park. The fire burned both sides of this smaller road. The sign stands on the edge of a wetland that was also completely destroyed. (Green Mountain Trail, near Trail Ridge Road)
