About Town with LaVern Johnson, March 22, 2012

It looks like we had our March weather in February, with the snow and wind.  Now that we need it in March, it is dry and warm, good for spring flowers. We hope you all celebrated St. Patrick’s Day. Happy birthday to Tracey McConnell, whose birthday was on that special day!  Any others?  Call (303) 823-5925.

Our favorite unit included dinosaurs and a field trip to the Natural History Museum in Denver. That was a long time ago.

About Town with LaVern Johnson, March 15, 2012

A great week of good weather gone by, nice and warm, no snow or wind. Enjoy it while you can. They say more snow is on the way.  I remember when we had three feet of wet snow in early May, so we have a while to wait.

About Town with LaVern Johnson, March 8, 2012

Another week gone by, and not too bad. Windy, but it actually warmed up a little. Spring is right around the corner. This Sunday morning (or late Saturday night), turn your clocks ahead one hour.  It will be nice to have longer days.
