Charter school opens up to children and community
The week before Labor Day, Sandy Clark drove a group of soon-to-be North Routt Charter School students to the Clark Store.

The charter school students ran up to the bus and gave Zimmerman, their beloved longtime bus driver, an exuberant welcome. Then they waved goodbye. Last year, it was their parents who were always waving goodbye. The charter school students, most of whom took that bus last year, will not be riding it anymore, at least for this year.
