Hi, you all,

I received this correction to the minutes from Chrissy McCaul, our School teacher

It has come to my attention that there is some mis-information on my report from the last town meeting.  If possible, could you revise the notes to read:

Gold Hill School – Chrissy reports that our school is a project based experiential learning school.  They have received a couple of grants: one STEM grant from the CO Dept. of Education for Mountain Schools with which they’ve purchased 12 Chrome Books (simple laptops), which help them keep track of their projects.  The school kids are studying pollinator health with a focus on butterflies and honeybees.    They have thirteen hives up and running.  The school plans to house one hive this summer in Kris Gibson’s yard.   The remainder of the hives are on the Black Cat organic farm in Niwot.  Between the risk of bears and a suggested carrying capacity of approximately 10 hives for the Gold Hill area, it has been decided that leaving the majority of the bees in Niwot is the best option because there are approximately this many hives already in the our area.  The students will also be using their fundraised monies from the Run-a-thon to plant a pollinator-friendly garden in the Gold Hill Cemetery.

I’ll correct the minutes on the website, too.

Gretchen Diefenderfer, Secretary.
