Performance Services has done a fantastic job meeting our construction deadlines and keeping us on track to start school on time. We truly appreciate their hard work!

GETTING TO KNOW OUR STAFF! Meet Kindergarten Teacher: Laurel Blackburn! 👩‍🏫 We’re kicking off a new series to help our students, families, and community get to know the amazing people who make up the Rangely School District! And first up is one of the friendly faces you’ll find at the EEC… Laurel Blackburn! 📚 Position: Kindergarten Teacher 🏫 Where you’ll find her: Mostly at the EEC, although she may pop into Parkview from time to time! 🌎 Where is she from? Laurel was born in Southern California and raised in Washington State. 💭 What did she want to be growing up? A LOT of things! Photographer, interior designer, veterinarian, marine biologist, deaf interpreter…the possibilities were endless! ❤️ What does she love most about working with students? Their natural curiosity about the people, places, and things around them—and, of course, their incredible imaginations! 📖 Favorite school subject: Reading 🍝 Favorite foods: Pulled pork & lasagna 📺 Favorite recent TV show: Squished—she loves seeing kids get creative with Play-Doh! 📕 Favorite book: The Bible ⚾ Favorite sports team: Colorado Rockies 🧵 Favorite hobby: Cross-stitching When Laurel isn’t at school, she enjoys spending time with her kids at the rec center, going to church, playing board games, making up games, and finding fun things to do around town and at home. 🐾 FUN FACT: Laurel served in the Army and worked on Apache helicopters for four years! She is also learning to speak Polish and hopes to travel to Poland someday! ✨ Her superpower? “I have a superpower, and it is called teaching AND loving people.” 💚 Her advice to our students: “This world may seem dark and ugly, but we all have the capacity to love people and treat people kindly. You have to find those people and surround yourself with those people so you can flourish. But also learn to love the people that may be hard to love!” 🌎 Bucket list: See all 50 states! She’s already been to many, so she thinks she might be halfway there! 🐾 Favorite Rangely Panther memory: A staff dance-off at a pep rally for state testing—Boys vs. Girls! And according to Laurel, the girls took the win with their awesome moves to Watch Me Whip…maybe! Thank you, Laurel, for letting us get to know you a little better! . #rangelyschooldistrict #RangelyPanthers #RangelyColorado
