A Legacy of Love and Learning: Honoring Carol L’Orange
Years after Carol L’Orange retired from teaching first grade at Superior Elementary, a former student spotted her in the aisles of King Soopers. Now a teenager, he approached hesitantly. “Ms. L’Orange, do you remember me?” he asked. Carol smiled and assured him she did. Their conversation was heartfelt and full of gratitude—a small moment that encapsulated the profound, lifelong impact she had on her students
From small-town roots to champion of education
Karen Brown’s transition from the small, supportive town of Grand Lake, Colorado, to the bustling campus of the University of Colorado Boulder could have been overwhelming. But with the encouragement of her parents and a strong educational foundation, she thrived, shaping her belief in the transformative power of quality education and community support.
Impact on Education expands leadership with four new board members
Our Board of Directors plays an important role in our work to engage students and empower educators across the Boulder Valley School District. Four new Board Members – Bob Gaddis, Dr. Bianca Gallegos, Emily Mears and David Stewart – will support this work and further our mission.
