Being a class sponsor is as glamorous as it sounds

Growing up with the Class of 2020

by Su Henry

I came to Gilpin County and began teaching Spanish (PK – grade 12) in January of 2009. This year’s Seniors were in 1st grade. I found out in August of 2009 that I would be the Class Sponsor for the Class of 2020. I was so excited! I went into their 2nd grade class where I was teaching them Spanish, and I told them, “Hey, Kiddos! When you get to 6th Grade, I’m going to be your Class Sponsor!” Of course, they looked at me with those 7-year-old eyes and said, “What’s that?” I said, “Oh, you’ll find out!”
