CMS River Watch program propels students to the top of water quality testing
Students can test river water in a class exercise, but they can’t produce the same reliable results as experts, right? Wrong, said Barb Horn, a Colorado Parks and Wildlife water resource specialist. More than 20 years ago, she helped kick start River Watch, a program that recruits school children and teachers to gather and analyze data from state rivers. Since then, one school has stood out for producing consistently accurate results.

5 MCHS swimmers headed to state
Phenomenal. That was the word Meghan Francone used to describe the Moffat County High School boys varsity swim team’s performance last weekend at the 4A Western Slope Meet at Colorado Mesa University. As the final opportunity for the team members to qualify for state, the boys hit the water hard. Of six total team members, five will represent MCHS Friday and Saturday at the 4A state championship in Thornton. Coach Francone said their showing at the regional meet indicates just how well she expects them to do at the biggest event of their season.

Longtime aide looks back on career in Moffat County School District
The story of how Julia Foster got where she is today sounds commonplace at first. The usual career twists are there. Foster, now an instructional aide for Moffat County High School and Craig Middle School, studied to be an English teacher before she came to Craig with her husband, Steve, nearly 40 years ago. In 1999, she found herself in the aide’s position where her job included playing accompaniment for the schools’ choir, band and theater departments. As she reflects on her upcoming retirement, the memories are there, too. “I will miss the kids,” said Foster, 61. “I will miss them very much.”
