a Real-life Hero!
th
A walk on 29 Street became
more than just a casual outing last
month for Cosmetology student
Fernando Torres. He ended up
saving a man’s life.
He and a friend came upon a
man lying unconscious on a bench,
with the man’s wife frantically
trying to revive him. Fernando
recognized the emergency situation immediately, and
following all the correct procedures he learned last year in
the CTEC Certified Nursing Assistant program, he asked
the wife if he could help, explained that he was trained in
CPR, and told her to call 911. He began CPR on the man,
and after a few minutes of compressions, the man began
to respond. The ambulance arrived quickly thereafter, and
rushed the man off to the hospital.
The emergency responders confirmed that the man was
having a heart attack, and Fernando’s quick assistance
saved his life. “I was really nervous and shaking the whole
time,” Fernando said, “but at the end, it made me feel like
Superman.” 

Clarissa Jimenez and Adriana Lastiri with Anthony chavez.
“Si, Se Puede!”
Anthony Chavez, grandson of the
great civil rights leader Cesar Chavez,
spoke to students on the Arapahoe Campus Tuesday, May
2nd. Students and staff who got to listen to the young
activist were inspired by his words. Students Clarissa
Jimenez and Adriana Lastiri were first in line for a photo
with the young leader after he spoke. Teacher Theresa Reali
thanked him for bringing his stories to our campus. Student
Gabriel Morales responded with just one word, “Inspiring!”
Anthony Chavez shared stories of the legacy left by
his grandfather who helped found the United Farmworkers
Union, leading the decades-long fight for farmworkers’
(continued on page 2)
Anthony Chavez, “Si, Se Puede!” . . . continued from page 1
rights. Facing dangerous conditions and poverty-level
pay, Cesar Chavez led thousands of farmworkers in strikes
and boycotts, finally mobilizing over 17 million people to
recognize the plight of farmworkers and to boycot buying
grapes and lettuce. “Your vote is powerful, but even more
powerful is your dollar. The toughest enforcer is the
consumer,” Anthony Chavez said.
He explained that the fight for civil rights is a fight
for human rights, and farmworkers still often work in
toxic conditions. The fruits and vegetables we all find so
readily available in super markets come at a high price for
the farmworkers’ health, he said. Lethal pesticides are still
used on much of the produce, often with deadly results for
the workers and the earth. “No one has the right to treat
people or the land in such a way,” he said, “not even a
billion dollar industry.”
His grandfather’s famous slogan, “Si Se Puede,” “Yes
We Can”, was crafted with organizer Dolores Huerta, to
encourage farmworkers to realize their potential power.
Anthony Chavez said, “My grandfather knew if we wanted
to make changes in our communities, we had to wake up in
the morning saying, ‘Si se puede, yes we can.’”
He encouraged students to use their power to make a
difference. “The end of all education should be service to
others,” Anthony Chavez said. “I want to remind you to
aim high, dream big, follow your heart.”
In his final words of the assembly, Anthony Chavez
issued a challenge and a call to all in the audience. “Be the
‘solutionaries’ the world needs.” 

KUDOS to our
Principal and director
dr. Joan Bludorn
We are all focused on graduation and
completing credits right now, but ARHS
Principal and CTE Director Joan Bludorn
recently had a graduation of her own to
celebrate.
Dr. Bludorn completed her Doctor
in Education Leadership and Policy
Studies this spring. She was awarded her
degree from the University of Northern
Colorado in Greeley on Friday, May 4th.
She celebrated with friends and family.
“I love learning,” she said. “I want to
always give my best to the students.”
Congratulations, Dr. Bludorn! 
LATINO YOUTH LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
Interventionist Ms. Julie Graff and Community Liason Ms. Carmen Faucette took several ARHS students
to the Latino Youth Leadership Conference this spring. Everyone who attended had a great time. Our campus
Resource Officer Ken Rosales attended, too, and was one of the featured presenters as a successful Latino leader
in our community. 
Notes from the Community Liaison:
Hello everyone, we are coming closer to the end of the school year and I want to take this opportunity to thank all
the parents that participated in the ‘Love and Logic’ parenting classes offered in our campus last fall. I am equally
thankful to the parents who participated in our ‘Latino Reading Group’. This group is open to all parents and is
conducted in English and Spanish, also the books we read are published in both languages as well.
These parenting classes groups and reading groups have been very successful and we appreciate your commitment
in working in partnership with our teachers and administrators towards the education of all of our students.
We are planning to continue with these groups next school year and we are open to any suggestions to improve
participation in these groups. We are looking forward to see you next school year and we wish you a great
summer!
Carmen Faucette 720-561-5501
Del Escritorio del Enlace en la Comunidad:
Hola, el fin del año escolar se acerca y quisiera aprovechar esta oportunidad para agradecer a todos los padres de
familia que participaron en las clases de ‘Amor y Lógica’ que se ofrecieron en nuestra escuela el otoño pasado.
Agradezco de igual manera a todos los padres de familia que participaron en el ‘Grupo Latino de Lectura’. Este
grupo es para todos los padres de familia y también es bilingüe, en inglés y español y los libros que leemos
también son publicados en ambos idiomas.
Estos grupos de clases de padres y grupos de lectura han sido muy exitosos y les agradecemos su compromiso en
trabajar en asociación con los maestros y administradores hacia la educación de todos nuestros estudiantes.
Planeamos continuar ofreciendo estos grupos el año escolar entrante y estamos abiertos a cualquier sugerencia
o comentario para mejorar la participación en estos grupos. ¡Esperamos verlos el año escolar entrante y les
deseamos un feliz verano!

Teacher Peggy Slater
Makes Superintendent’s Honor Roll
Congratulations to Arapahoe Campus teacher and BVSD Print Shop Manager
Peggy Slater! She was recognized by Superintendent Bruce Messinger and the
Board of Education in the Superintendent’s Honor Roll at the April 24th Board
meeting. She was selected for this honor because of her outstanding contributions
toward meeting BVSD’s sustainability goals as outlined in the sustainability
Management System (SMS). This was the third annual “Earth Day” Superintendent’s
Honor Roll in which individuals are recognized specifically because of their work to
help green BVSD.
Mrs. Slater was nominated for the honor by fellow teachers Ms. Jode Brexa
and Mrs. Catherine Prior. Mrs. Slater is our Campus Recycling Coordinator, and
under her guidance, students in the Graphic Communications Program and in the
Student Council classes make sure that we are all recycling. These students not only
provide recycling boxes for every classroom and office in our building; they also
move through the campus every week to collect the recyclables. Additionally, as
class projects, these students have designed recycling posters to promote the efforts
campus wide.
EcoCycle reports that these efforts have saved more than 50 trees a year. As Ms.
Brexa put it, over Mrs. Slater’s past nine years on our campus, “We’re talking about
a forest.” Principal and TEC Director Dr. Joan Bludorn added, “Wow, what a nice
tribute! Well deserved.” 
Arapahoe Students Enjoy Reading Using New Nooks!
The project was funded through Impact on Education’s
Classroom Innovation Grant Program. Ms.Katrina
Griffith, Ms. Claire Broaddus and Mrs. Kelly Snody were
grant recipients for this special project.
Thank you, Impact on Education!
“I got to take one over spring break and I
actually read. My mom was so amazed she
started to cry.”
- Student
Emily Feicht and Jacob Frankel read with the new Nooks.
“Perfect for reluctant readers...they can’t tell
how thick a book is!”
- Teacher
“My Nook makes me feel important.” - Student
“I like how you can make the
font bigger. It makes reading
easier.”
- Student
“I love that I can get a class set of any book
I want, in about 30 seconds and for $10!”
- Teacher
“Nooks are easy to carry around ... and there are so
many books on just one device! So cool!”

I Dream
by Karla Trujillo
She was really cold not knowing where she was. It was dark with red lighting
lights. Sometimes it was purple and sometimes just bright, and little did she know
it was maybe the start. She walked through a river cold like the snow. She noticed
her feet got really yellow, so she got really scared that she would meet a fellow
and look like an ugly Othello. She got worried and felt that she was fainting,
but what made her open her big eyes was that there was a painting, maybe an
enormous dragon-color puce, but she wasn’t even close because it was just a
painting of a big bottle of juice. The girl kept walking and walking through; it
didn’t make sense what she was doing in a weird place. She imagines a pretty
world but the reality was that it was a petty world. Nothing else to do so she
kept walking through. She stopped and saw a small coconut tree with orangutans
climbing and screaming, “wee, wee, wee”. Really odd how they could fit in such
a small tree. But it was all magic or maybe a spell. The next thing she noticed was
there was a nasty smell. She walked through purple flowers and gray flowers too.
Then she saw a white, bright light and it was weird she thought. It was all eight
hours of an extreme dream. So be careful next time you go to sleep; you might
want to be extra prayerful before you begin to dream. 

Student Council members Cassandra Perez and Brenda
Sanchez created a bulletin board at the request of Ms.
Jode Brexa to showcase the volunteer tutors from CU.
CU TUTORS AT ARAPAHOE CAMPUS
For the last four semesters, University
of Colorado Senior Instructor Sally
Green has provided tutors to ARHS.
This semester, students in her Writing
and Rhetoric classes and students in
Dr. Tracy Ferrell’s writing course, “On
The Border: Mexico and the U.S.”,
are completing their service learning
projects by volunteering as ARHS tutors,
enriching their own learning experiences
as well as those of ARHS students.
Thank you to these dedicated CU
students who have been supporters
of student achievement at ARHS
Spring, 2012! Their commitment to
service-learning work has made a real
difference with one-to-one support for
ARHS students. 

Lights, Camera, Action!
Service Learning Rolls on Arapahoe Campus by Jode Brexa
If you have noticed some lights, camera and action around campus, you’ve observed two films currently in production
about service learning tutors who have been on our campus. CU volunteer tutor Matthew Coffaro filmed teachers and students
for his final class project in CU Instructor Tracy Farrell’s writing course. We hope his project will be used to promote service
learning opportunities on on our campus to next year’s CU students.
The other crew on campus was from Tajikistan. The SARAFINA national television sent a reporter and cameraman with
an interpreter and U.S. State department official. The reporter spoke Ukrainian, the cameraman Tajik and Russian, and the
Interpreter Russian and English. It was interesting to be part of the multilingual, multicultural interviews.
Thank you to ARHS science
teacher Kacee Ertzbischoff and
especillay to students Javiar
Sanchez and Miguel Jiminez who
volunteered to give an international
interview. We hope the story will
be aired on National TV, and we’ll
share the piece with everyone.
Thank you all to who excused
students, made connections,
interviewed, and welcomed
the filmakers, both local and
international, to our campus.

During a Flood . . .
Dear Families,
Did you know? The City of Boulder is the number one flash flood risk in the state of Colorado and floods can
literally occur in a flash during a severe storm. Although Boulder’s peak flood season is April 1 through Sept. 30,
floods can happen anytime throughout the year. If you live, work or play in Boulder, you are at risk. Be prepared
for flooding at any time.
Extra caution is needed: As a result of the 2010 fire in Fourmile Canyon, rain events could result in:
 muddy creek water
 creek levels rising more quickly
 higher frequency of flooded underpasses. Use caution near creeks.
For tips on what to do before, during and after a flood, visitwww.boulderfloodinfo.net.To help you prepare for
a flood event, the City of Boulder has put together a family Flood Action Plan for you to complete and post in
your home and an informational brochure that will help teach you what to do before, during and after a flood. To
view these materials and other flood information resources, visit www.boulderfloodinfo.net.
Sign up for FREE emergency alerts on home, work, and cell phones, text messaging, e-mail and Twitter.
Alert sign-up: BoCo911Alert.com.
Updates on emergencies (fires, floods) as they unfold:
Web: www.boulderoem.com.
Twitter: @BoulderOEM.
What Can You Do in Case of a Flood?
Be Prepared
 Find out if your home or place of work is in a floodplain.
 Develop an emergency plan.
 Keep an emergency kit accessible.
 Complete a family Flood Action Plan so you know where your family will meet in an emergency.
During a Flood
 Move to higher ground immediately.
 Stay out of floodwaters. Swift moving waters may sweep people away, causing death.
 Avoid driving through flooded areas. Cars float in 18 inches of water and half of all flood fatalities are
auto-related.
 Stay away from power lines and electrical wires. Electrocution is the number two killer in floods.
After a Flood
 Do not return to disaster areas until authorized.
 Clean everything that got wet.

Queridas familias:
Durante una Inundación . . .
¿Sabía usted que la Ciudad de Boulder tiene el riesgo más alto en el Estado de Colorado para inundaciones repentinas
y violentas? Las inundaciones pueden suceder repentinamente durante una tormenta severa. Aunque la época principal de
inundaciones es del 1º de abril hasta el 30 de septiembre, las inundaciones pueden ocurrir en cualquier momento durante
el año. Sí usted vive, trabaja o se recrea en Boulder usted está en riesgo, así que es importante que las familias estén
preparadas para una inundación en cualquier momento.
Necesita tomar precauciones adicionales. Como resultado del incendio en Four Mile Canyon, en el 2010, las lluvias
pueden resultar en:

Agua lodosa en los ríos

Que los niveles de agua en los ríos suban repentinamente

Una frecuencia de inundación más grande en los pasos a desnivel. Use precaución cerca de los ríos.
Para obtener información sobre que debe hacer antes de, durante y después de una inundación, visite al sitio web www.
boulderfloodinfo.net. Para ayudarle a preparase para un evento de inundación, la Ciudad de Boulder ha formulado un
plan de acción familiar para que usted la prepare y la ponga a la vista en su casa, y también se ha formulado un panfleto de
información que le ayudará a saber que hacer antes de, durante y después de una inundación. Para mirar estos materiales y
otros recursos de información sobre las inundaciones, visite a: www.boulderfloodinfo.net
Inscríbase para recibir alertas de emergencia GRATUITAMENTE en su casa, trabajo y por teléfono celular,
mensajes de texto, correo electránico y Twitter.
Inscripción para alertas: BoCo911Alert.com
Para recibir notificaciones sobre incendios ye inundaciones en el momento que ocurran:
Web: www.boulderoem.com Twitter: @BoulderOEM.
¿Qué puede hacer usted en caso de una inundación?
Prepárese

Investigue sí su hogar o lugar de trabajo está en una área sujeta a las inundaciones.

Desarrolle un plan de emergencia.

Mantenga accesible un equipo de emergencia.

Complete un plan de acción familiar para que usted sepa donde se reunirá su familia en caso de una emergencia.
Durante una inundación

Suba inmediatamente a un terreno más alto.

No camine por aguas que fluyan. Las aguas que se desplazan rápidamente pueden arrastrar a las personas y causar
su muerte.

No maneje en áreas inundadas. Los automóviles flotan en 18 pulgadas de agua. La mitad de las muertes
ocasionadas en las inundaciones son relacionadas a los automóviles.

Aléjese de las líneas de alta tensión y las líneas eléctricas. La electrocución es el segundo factor de muerte más alto
durante las inundaciones.
Después de una inundación

No regrese a las áreas de desastre hasta que sea autorizado hacerlo.

Limpie todo lo que se haya mojado.

Superando con éxito los años de primaria y de la adolescencia
La relación de los padres y la crianza de los hijos
Por Jan Hittelman
Ha habido numerosos estudios que demuestran el impacto significativo que la crianza puede tener en la satisfacción conyugal,
específicamente que el tener hijos puede tener un impacto negativo para que la relación de la pareja siga adelante. Teniendo en
cuenta los profundos cambios que se producen como resultado de tener hijos, incluyendo el aumento del estrés, las decisiones
de la disciplina, los impactos financieros y los muchos desafíos que provienen de la crianza de los hijos, estos resultados pueden
no ser muy sorprendentes. Por el contrario, un estudio de 2009 en el Journal of Psychological Science (diario de la ciencia
psicológica) encontró que la satisfacción conyugal mejora para las parejas después que sus hijos dejan el hogar. Es evidente que
la crianza puede poner la relación de pareja a prueba. Asimismo, las relaciones disfuncionales entre los padres pueden tener un
efecto muy negativo en la vida familiar y en la adaptación general de los niños. La lección aquí es que, para ser padres eficaces,
tenemos primero que cuidar de nosotros mismos y nutrir la relación de pareja, no sólo entre padres e hijos.
Para aprender más acerca de cómo mejorar la crianza de los hijos mejorando su relación, participe en el programa de este mes

Thriving During the Elementary & Secondary Years
Parents’ Relationship & Parenting By Jan Hittelman
There have been numerous studies that demonstrate the significant impact that parenting can have on marital satisfaction,
specifically that having children can have a negative impact on the couple’s relationship moving forward. Given the profound
changes that occur as a result of having children, including increased stress, discipline decisions, financial impacts, and the many
other challenges that come from parenting, these results may not be very surprising. Conversely, a 2009 study in the Journal of
Psychological Science found that marital satisfaction improves for couples after their children move out of the home. Clearly
parenting can put the couple’s relationship to the test. Similarly, dysfunctional relationships between parents can have a very
negative effect on family life and children’s overall adjustment. The lesson here is that in order to be effective parents, we have to
first take care of ourselves and nurture the relationship between parents, not just between parents and children.
