We extend our deepest gratitude to both Heather and Lisa for their years of dedicated service to our students, schools, and community. We will miss you both!

The Garfield Re-2 School Board celebrated outgoing Board President Britton Fletchall at their June 25, 225 school board meeting and declared a vacancy in Director District A.

Fletchall submitted a letter of resignation on June 18 and shared that his decision is rooted in the growth of his business, which now requires more travel and extended time away from the area.

“Serving has never been a burden, but a true motivator,” he explained. “While I value the ability to participate remotely, I believe this level of board service is most effective when done in person.”

Rifle High School graduate Abdon Rivera took his oath of enlistment as “Future Soldier” yesterday. His new title is the United States Army’s term for those joining its branch of service.

Rivera took the oath before family and friends, as well as a mentor teacher from school. He chose to take the oath at the Garfield County Commissioners’ chamber, an indication of his interest in public service. He is now part of the U.S. Army’s delayed entry program after considering his decision for a few years, and took this oath prior to entering basic training. He will take army preparatory training for three weeks and then basic training for nine weeks.

At Rifle High School, what started as an inside joke between two friends has bloomed into a business with a mission. Junior Madisyn Harra and senior Tiffany Moore turned their love of flowers into a flourishing service through their International Baccalaureate CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) project: H&M Flowers.

“We always joked about starting a flower shop one day,” said Tiffany.

So when the opportunity arose through their CAS project, they seized the bouquet.
