Congratulations to Itzel Rivas, who was named the Youth of the Year at the annual Hope Breakfast for the Boys and Girls Club of Weld County, held Thursday morning.
Itzel is a senior at Greeley Central High School and told a very touching story about how the Boys and Girls Club helped her through the loss of her father. Congratulations also to finalists Falis Derow and Malyun Sadik, both 8th graders at Bella Romero Academy, who also provided amazing speeches.
Thanks to our community partner, Boys and Girls Club of Weld County, for providing so many important resources to our students
