This is Sarah Thompson’s class on a trip last year to Baja California. The project consisted of helping out at the turtle preservation station and observing gray whales in the wild off the coast. The kids actually had to do a lot of work, and they returned more committed to environmentalism.

Central High grad Sarah Ann Thompson was nominated for the 2007 Mile High Teacher Award, a tradition of honoring Denver public school teachers, initiated by Mayor John Hickenlooper in 2005.
The award ceremonies took place May 10 at Ellie Caulkins Opera House in Denver.
Sarah was nominated by her principal, her peers and the students of PS1, a tuition-free, Denver public charter school, where she has been employed for the past six years.
Sarah graduated from Central High School in 1993, and CU-Boulder in 1998 with a bachelor’s degree in environmental sciences and teaching certificate. She has been employed with the Denver Public Schools since.
Sarah is the daughter of Bryan and Cindy Sims of Grand Junction.
Sarah has enjoyed her tenure at PS1, which utilizes Denver as a learning resource. “I can’t imagine working anywhere else!”
She and her students take advantage of downtown institutions like the Denver Art Museum and public library on a regular basis. Students, ranging from 11 to 21 years old, are also offered national and international study-tour opportunities.
Sarah has taken students to Honduras, Costa Rica, the Baja, Calif., and Italy exposing students to new cultures, language and hands-on science activities.
Sarah is currently working toward becoming certified in special education.
