We are incredibly proud to see our very own Physical Education teacher, Andrew Wimbs spotlighted on the news to showcase his work not only as a teacher here at East, but as a college football referee in his spare time. Be sure to check out Denver 7's local news section to hear his story! 🏈♥
Our Unified East Angel athletes fought hard and came out on top with a thrilling 63-58 win against the Denver North Vikings! It was an absolute nail-biter from start to finish, keeping everyone on the edge of their seats. The energy, fun, and sense of community were unmatched. Huge kudos to both teams for giving it their all and playing with such heart. You all made it a game to remember! 😇
Don't forget the Sustainable Fashion is at 6:30pm on 2/18 in the foyer. It's free to attend, so we hope to see you there!
