UPDATED REVIEW: I am…read morereceiving notifications that individuals associated with the school have attempted to have this review removed. For clarity and documentation purposes, I am updating this review and will be adding supporting photos. PARENTS, PLEASE READ: This review reflects my personal experience regarding an incident involving my first-grade son while attending Belleview Christian School. My son attended Belleview Christian for a short period of time. During that time, an incident occurred that was deeply distressing for him and for our family. The restroom where this occurred did not have traditional solid stall doors. The stalls were separated by fabric-style partitions rather than full doors. While using that restroom, my 7-year-old son was in a stall, pants down, using the toilet. A much older student entered and physically assaulted him. He was repeatedly hit and pushed into the toilet. Only after my son screamed at the top of his lungs did a staff member hear him and come into the restroom. He was then sent back to class. I was not notified at the time of the incident. I learned what had happened only after my son got into my car after school and immediately broke down crying, shaking, and visibly distressed as he described the event. I documented his condition that afternoon. An incident report later stated that I had been contacted by phone. I did not receive a phone call. I reviewed my phone records from that day and have documentation of all incoming and outgoing calls. There was no call from the school. After I requested documentation, the school provided an incident report stating that my son was injured by a "toilet handle" and that there was "no visible swelling or bruising." Immediately after picking him up from school, I took him to urgent care. Medical professionals documented visible bruising and swelling across his back. When I requested that the report be corrected to reflect the medical findings, I experienced what I believe was resistance and a lack of transparency in the process. Because of that experience, I began documenting all subsequent communications. Since this incident, my son has struggled with using school bathrooms and has experienced ongoing distress. This occurred when he was in first grade. He is now in fifth grade, and he still speaks about what happened. He remains in therapy as a result of this event. Based on our experience: * I did not feel there was adequate supervision. * I did not receive timely parent notification. * I did not feel the response was transparent. * I did not feel there was meaningful accountability regarding how the incident was handled. My intention in posting this review is to share our experience so that other parents can make informed decisions. This is a truthful account of what occurred, supported by documentation. I stand by the facts of our experience. Your child's safety depends on leadership you trust. Based on what happened in our situation, I did not feel confident that my child was protected or that the incident was handled in a clear and responsible manner.

So far they have delivered the goods: our kids are making big strides on the reading / writing / arithmetic basics which were missing at their previous secular private school, and have a Christ-centered curriculum where kids will learn a lot and be academically and spiritually prepared for life. We love the teachers, the thorough communication, and the price-value.

I attended the festival today at the Boulder County Fairgrounds. This festival is a scam and a…read morefraud. The entire festival is an abuse of the paying customers and the vendors as in reality it is a giant marketing scheme for condo sales in Breckinridge. They oversell the tickets so there are hour long lines for each vendor and award fake "prizes" which are actually condo stays that include a mandatory 2 hour high pressure sales presentation. More than half of the vendors have absolutely NOTHING to do with chocolate like Andersen Windows and Cutco knives. Stay away, there are better events out there.

This was a great festival. I wasn't quite sure what to expect. But I thoroughly enjoyed it. To get…read morein, it's $5 a person with $12 for 10 tickets or $20 for 25 tickets. Each ticket is a "taste ticket" which entitles you to a good size trial piece at each place! It's a pretty small venue, so a few hours on one of the days is more than sufficient to see everything. Here were my highlights: -beer and chocolate pairing- for a grand total of four taste tickets for two, you can taste two pairings. One tasted oddly like PBJ. Still not a beer fan, but I can appreciate what they were going for. Wine pairing is next on my list! -awards ceremony- since I went on the second day, I had the advantage of going to this to pick out where to spend all my taste tickets! -german chocolate-there was german chocolate that cools in your mouth as it melts. talk about WOWZA!!! -life size blow up balls- if you bring the kids they can run at each other in life size clear balls. It's a blast!
