At Flagstaff Academy in Longmont, having a friend on the playground can have benefits. For student Odin Mitchem, having a friend was meaningful. “Friendship was really important to him,” Flagstaff Assistant Principal Terri Long said. “He was one of those kids who had a conflict, he wanted to make sure it worked out.” Odin passed away at the beginning of this school year, but Girl Scout Troop 4020, many of whom were his classmates, wanted to make sure his goal was not forgotten.
