Title 1 STEM Night at Bessemer Academy saw K-5 Bobcats present Science Fair projects, with participating families invited to take part in STEM and math activities on site as well as in a take-home package.

Randy Nelson and his team of good-hearted volunteers and donors -- including the Cyclones of Corwin International Magnet School -- have generously provided a holiday party, complete with gifts, food and drink, fun activities and more.

In anticipation of Veterans Day, and as a precursor to tonight's 6 p.m. Pride and Patriotism ceremony at Memorial Hall, scholars at Bessemer Academy and Park View Elementary expressed their appreciation to local veterans as well as all who served.

The pre-K through fifth graders join the fight against the disease by donating a quarter or more each day of Breast Cancer Awareness Week in order to participate in the themes, which this year were “Be a Hero of Hope,” “Knock the Socks Off Cancer,” “Pair Up Against Cancer” and “Team Up Against Cancer.”

Kindergarteners focused on animals and their habitats; first graders visually created their own country; second graders engaged in a Market Day, to learn the ins-and-outs of entrepreneurship and commerce; third and fourth graders explored careers, with a rotation of guest speakers in a variety of fields visiting the school; and finally, fifth graders explored the cosmos through a unit entitled Patterns in the Universe.

In recognition of the community’s support of the eatery – through the pandemic and beyond – the owners spread some robust holiday cheer to five deserving Bessemer Academy families. In addition to a $200 gift card purchased by the Terrones family, a live Christmas tree and a parcel of Pueblo Chile, both donated by Peppers and Petals on the Mesa, were presented to the grateful recipients.

Ten years ago, Mr. Aguilera launched, through the Pueblo Poverty Foundation he founded, a Christmas Extravaganza. This festive holiday event saw Mr. Aguilera joyfully don his Santa Claus suit to personally hand out more than 1,000 stockings filled with goodies and trinkets to the youngsters from the schools in his represented district.

Roxanna Mack, president of the chapter, and Helen Wylie, vice president, spent most of Thursday dropping off boxes of Kindergarten-age supplies to Columbian, Minnequa, Bessemer Academy, Beulah Heights, Bradford and Park View.
