Heatherwood's E-STEAM school initiative launched this year with Art for the Sky, an interactive art experience.
Together with artist Daniel Dancer, our entire school community united to create this image of a columbine. Through Art for the Sky, students employed STEAM-based skills to plan and outline the state flower, and PK-5 students and staff joined in the creation of human artwork. The process was captured on video and in photos, illustrating how our impact on the world is greater when we work together as a community.
The entire experience of Art for the Sky was moving and memorable for both students and staff, an incredible start to the 2025-26 school year.
Read all about it! The Daily Camera covered Heatherwood's 2025-26 environmental-STEAM program launch in an article exploring our new outdoor education focus.
Wondering what E-STEAM is all about at Heatherwood? Learn more about Heatherwood's new PK-5 curriculum here, and get details on our STEAM-based explorations into local and state environmental issues.
Stay tuned for student-led projects and presentations to share their new learning - coming in spring 2026!

As one of BVSD’s newest Board of Education members, Ana Temu Otting brings a lifetime of advocacy, organizing, and lived experience to the role—along with a clear belief that schools are not just places of learning, but powerful engines of opportunity and community transformation.
Thank you for your patience and understanding this week as our community experienced unusually high winds that impacted our schools. I know this disruption—especially so close to Winter Break—was not how anyone hoped to begin the holiday season.
While this is the first time BVSD has been forced to close schools due to a high wind event of this nature, we recognize that similar challenges may arise again. We are committed to continuous improvement and will use the lessons learned this week to strengthen our plans moving forward.
