Sue Fattor, neighborhood Walk and Roll Leader and Safe Routes to School committee member, directs her son, Keenan Fattor, along with Ari Hartung and Madeline Williams, across 75th street during International Walk to school day in October. The event celebrates walking and biking as a means to enhance health, enjoy fresh air, and have fun with school buddies. Heatherwood’s goal for International Walk to School Day was to have 100 percent of the student body participate. Ninety percent walked or rode their bikes that day.

Education Foundation Completes Technology Upgrades
The Niwot High School Education Foundation is in the process of completing its technology upgrades to 53 classrooms. Twenty classrooms have already been upgraded with equipment such as Promethean ActivBoards (smartboards), laptop computers, document cameras, clickers, and custom storage cabinets.
Two mobile computer labs, comprised of 30 netbooks on a cart, have been purchased so teachers can bring a computer lab to their classrooms, rather than taking the class to another room. The multi-year project was initiated in 2006, with the Education Foundation contributing $227,000 to date.
The Education Foundation has committed to providing ongoing resources for continued Digital Learning Communities Training and technology replacements as necessary. Currently, five teachers are enrolled in digital learning classes, and will provide support to fellow staff members.
Education Foundation President Gary Keschl said, “The Tech. Knowledge project represents a significant investment by the community in Niwot High School. When the project was first conceived, it was years ahead of where the other schools in the district were with regard to learning technology. The completion of this project is a major milestone for Niwot High School and the Education Foundation, and will help ensure Niwot High School remains one of the top high schools in the state of Colorado. The Education Foundation is extremely thankful to all of the donors who have made this possible.”
