While Ms. Haswell did help with many aspects of the mural, it was primarily the work of Giselle “Bre” Thiele. We apologize for any confusion. Ms. Haswell is the author of “A Little Book of Words for Those Who Grieve.... Full story
Just as it should be beginning to look a lot like Christmas, a weather phenomenon more commonly seen in the summer months made an appearance over Niwot. On Dec. 15, a double-rainbow appeared west of town as a fast-approaching snow squall came over the mountains, bringing cold air, gusty winds, and a very brief spate of precipitation....

Senior swimmer Mary Codevilla’s Niwot legacy grew a little larger following a pair of historic races at the REX Coaches Invite on Dec. 18. Codevilla, a Notre Dame commit, has been swimming for the USA National Junior Team and the REX Invite was her first meet of the season with Niwot. Her senior debut was a good one as she broke a pair of school records at the Veterans Memorial Aquatics Center in Thornton.
