Going to school sometimes can be rough. Not very many people like to wake up so early and go and learn for 7.5 hours a day. But cool and awesome teachers definitely make it worth it. Ms. Blevens is one of those. She teaches Honors Biology and Senate here at the 8/9 school and is for sure one of the teachers making the eternity we are at school less dreadful. Here are some fun things that you maybe didn’t know about her!
Julie Blevens was born at St. Mary’s hospital on May 31st. She grew up in Grand Junction and has stayed here for the majority of her life. She has one brother and a mom and a dad that still live in Grand Junction as well. While growing up, she enjoyed doing 4H, doing school stuff, and she also danced for 16 years.
Ms. Blevens went to Central High School for her school life. She enjoyed doing show choir, POMS, 4H, and Knowledge Bowl. She lettered in show choir and knowledge bowl, and continues to be the leader for Knowledge Bowl at our school. Her favorite class in high school was Anato
my and went to college to study that as well. Blevens’ favorite candy is Reese’s Peanut Butter cups, her favorite food are fresh Palisade Peaches, and her favorite drink is Diet Pepsi. Her first job was working for her parents at age 12 at their craft store.
Ms. Blevens now likes to hang out with her family, volunteer, and maybe sometimes unwillingly, hangs out with her hooligans of us students. She started teaching freshmen at the high school, and naturally moved to the 8/9 school when it was built. Ms. Blevens doesn’t have any pets herself, but her parents have two dogs that she loves to see. Ms. Blevens says that her students are a bit crazier than last year, and Henry Smardo is obviously her favorite. She likes many colors, but her favorites are probably red, green, and blue.
It’s always fun and interesting to get to know your teachers a bit better. They spend a lot of their time preparing for us. The least we can do is get to know them. Spend time with your teachers and be kind to them. We may dislike school with a passion sometimes, but remember that the teachers can help with that. Be grateful for your teachers, they do a lot and you can do a lot for them back. Ms. Blevens is the perfect example for this.
