The first High School Boys Golf tournament took place on August 7th at Heather Ridge Golf Club, where we finished fourth behind Rock Canyon, Mountain Vista, and Regis. We then won our first league tournament, where Senior Landon Webb finished 2nd and Junior Ian Thompson made an impressive birdie on hole 12. In a large 4A/5A tournament, we finished 4th out of 22 teams, with Senior Josh Reeves standing out with a 2nd place finish. Most recently, in a league tournament with a few 3A schools, we finished 2nd, just three strokes behind Kent Denver. Junior Tucker Corazzari performed exceptionally, finishing in 5th place. The team has had a strong start to the season, showcasing the talents of players like Andrew Ruddy, Tyler Roe, Landon Webb, and Josh Reeves.

I am writing this email to pique your interest in STEMblazers, an organization that encourages girls to explore their interests in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).

As an after-school club, it offers various opportunities to explore STEM careers, including internships, job shadowing, and company tours. Joining STEMblazers can be an excellent addition to your college application.

Being a part of STEMblazers can help you establish connections with colleges and provide opportunities to network with influential companies. Don't miss out on this amazing chance to explore the world of STEM and set yourself up for success in the future!

We also participated in a Gingerbread bridge building competition this year and will continue to participate in fun activities. Sign up for STEMblazers to participate in many fun activities!

Even if STEM fields are not your primary interest, they can still provide valuable insight into potential future career paths and allow the development of important skills, including professionalism.

STEMblazers is open to 8th-12th graders.

Our Welcome party is on September 3rd, 2024.
