MESA will be the first K-8 Expeditionary Learning Jeffco school. We aim to open in the Two Creeks neighborhood in 2027 with K, 1st and 2nd grades.
Starting at the end of May 2026, I will be cycling across the country, following the TransAmerica Route from the Altantic Ocean in Yorktown, VA to the Pacific Ocean in Astoria, OR. In general, I will be traveling by myself without a support vehicle, though a few friends are planning on joining me for a few days here and there. If you would like to be one of those friends, let me know!! The trip will take me about 2.5 months, and I will primarily be tent camping along the way. You can follow my journey on my online journal at cgoab.com/littlemoose.

Jeffco Schools has determined that they need a mill levy increase and are looking for ways to market that decision to residents. However, the way the district closed and sold Emory Elementary demonstrates a decision-making process that doesn’t examine the root cause of problems. From the first, Jeffco schools showed a willingness to craft narratives using a select set of facts for a predetermined output. As shown by the eleven points below, select facts are not the full story. Withholding the full story and losing money makes residents question whether Jeffco Schools can be trusted with more money in a mill levy increase.
Jeffco Point #1: Emory was closed due to declining enrollment amidst a budget deficit.
SUNLIGHT: At the time of closure, Emory ranked #1741 out of 1748 Colorado schools. Declining enrollment coincided with a steep decrease in test scores. Alternative solutions include raising test scores, which Jeffco proved unable to do since 2015. Good schools are a driver for home sales. Without good schools, new families don’t move in or enroll in other choice schools. Ultimately, poor performance was the reason for closure, not the budget.
In single-digit temperatures Sunday morning, more than 300 residents gathered at Alameda International Junior/Senior High School to launch CBC Denver, a new community-focused church committed to serving the Lakewood and greater Denver area through connection, service, and long-term neighborhood involvement.
Located near the Belmar area of downtown Lakewood, CBC Denver meets at 1255 South Wadsworth Blvd. and holds weekly services Sundays at 10:00 a.m. The church is led by Pastor Casey Whithers and his wife, Hannah, and was planted to create a welcoming environment where people can build relationships, explore faith, and engage in meaningful service within the community.
