Zealous Students, Special to the Daily
For the past five weeks, students at Zealous Schools in Edwards have been working on a unique fashion art project. Through the project, students explored expression through designing, sewing and learning all about the fashion industry. This week, the project ended with a Project Runway catwalk competition at Eagle Ranch’s wood park structure.
The five-week unit was initiated by one of the school’s seventh-grade students who had recently taken an interest in fashion and sewing.
“I got into sewing and the fashion industry during quarantine as a way to do something, because COVID-19 is boring,” said Sam Grimmer, a seventh-grade student at Zealous. “At my school, we are taught to teach the students around us, so I took inspiration from around the school to put together a lesson plan.”
Special to the Daily
After three years in operation, the region’s first micro school, Zealous Schools
, is growing one campus larger with the launch of an all girl’s school in Avon. The school set to open Aug. 16, 2021 will admit a group of 24 female-identifying and/or non-binary middle school-aged students to its inaugural class.
Keeping with the tradition of the school’s highly individualized and passion-based curriculum, the campus will feature a 6-to-1 student-teacher ratio, with 24 students in grades six through eight and four female-identifying academic coaches or teachers.
“[Teaching] middle school is about building a whole person, not just academic intensity,” said Kelsey Head, who will serve as the director of the Avon Zealous Campus and has been with the school since its inception. “The micro school model allows for that to be really intentional and executed well.”
EAGLE Eagle Town Council finalized its appointment of two new council members Tuesday, formally appointing Janet Bartnik and Geoffrey Grimmer to fill two seats left vacant by the deaths of Adam Palmer and Andy Jessen in an avalanche near Silverton in early February.
Bartnik and Grimmer were among 19 people who applied for possible appointment to the Town Council to fill the two seats, and were among the eight applicants council members interviewed during a four-hour work session last week.
Other applicants interviewed were Jaimie Mackey, Erinn Hoban, Sarah Parrish, Brian Bloess, Josh Stowell and Kevin Brubeck.
“It goes without saying we would be in great shape with any two of the eight. We are fortunate to have so many great people step forward,” Eagle Mayor Scott Turnipseed said at Tuesday’s meeting. “This is one of the hardest things we have to do as a council, especially given these circumstances, and I just want to say thank you to everybody for stepping up.”
