Villa Bella Groundbreaking Ceremony

1/21/2019

After months of preparation, Pueblo’s Villa Bella Expeditionary, elementary school will officially break ground January 21st, 2019 at 10:30AM, 2390 Rawlings Blvd. Pueblo, CO 81001.

The ceremony will include brief statements by Scott Robertshaw (VBE Board President), Logan Gogarty (Founder and Director), Ed Smith (Superintendent for Pueblo School District 70), and Timothy Mottet (President for Colorado State University – Pueblo). They will be followed by a ceremonial groundbreaking. 

Villa Bella would like to thank the founding families, Pueblo School District 70, and CSU-Pueblo for all of the encouragement and support in making the school a reality. 

Being the first Expeditionary K-5 charter school in Pueblo, CO, Villa Bella will introduce a teaching model emphasizing more doing and less lecture. This formula will increase hands on experiences for children and allow them to integrate multiple traditional subjects simultaneously. The student’s curiosity is used to motivate and guide them as they explore challenging questions through personal research and exploration. 

Villa Bella will be located next to CSU-Pueblo and will cultivate a strong relationship with the university that is mutually beneficial. Villa Bella students will have the opportunity to use CSU-Pueblo resources, while CSU-Pueblo students will get professional development and experience through internships and field experience at Villa Bella. This synergistic relationship will help install a college centric culture into the minds of every Villa Bella student. 

Villa Bella encourages you to attend this celebration. After the reception, there will be a fundraiser for Villa Bella at Thunderzone Taphouse & Pizza along with Lobos Tacos between 11:00AM to Noon. 10% of all purchases from these locations during that time will be donated to Villa Bella Expeditionary. We look forward to your attendance.
