Congratulations to Big Thompson Elementary School of Nature and Science Staff!

On September 1, 2010 they were awarded the Thompson School District Award of Excellence. The Big T Staff was given this award because they displayed such traits as innovation, risk-taking, teamwork, and leadership to their colleagues and students of TSD. This was the first time an entire school's staff has been given an award like this. What a great way to start off the school year!

Congratulations Big Thompson Staff, Students and Partnering Organization

Big T has been selected as a 2010 Larimer County Environmental Stewardship Award recipient!
