Canvas Community Classic
Rocky Mountain High School and Poudre High School will kick off at 4:30 p.m., Friday, Sept. 30, at Sonny Lubick Field on CSU’s main campus in Fort Collins. Then Fort Collins High School will take on Fossil Ridge High School at 7 p.m.
Tickets will go on sale Monday, Aug. 1, through the CSU Ticket Office website. Tickets are $10 for adults, and free for PSD and CSU students.
Canvas has donated to PSD in the past to support the district’s literacy efforts, as well as taught financial literacy to high school students at PSD’s Futures Lab. As part of the football games this fall, the credit union is also gifting $20,000 to PSD. The money will be split among the four high schools and be used to buy needed athletics equipment.
“Investing in the growth of future Poudre School District community leaders matters deeply,” said Todd Marksberry, Canvas Credit Union’s president and chief executive officer. “We commit holistically to the wellness of Coloradans. We walk together to enhance financial, physical, mental, and social well-being. This event brings to life all of those pillars and ensures we have fun along the way. We are honored to participate and celebrate our young leaders.”
As leading educational institutions in the community, PSD and CSU have a decades-long legacy of collaborative programming that successfully prepares students for academic, social and personal success.
Between the two institutions, there are an estimated 65 programs available to students, family and staff. They range from CSU campus visits for PSD sixth and seventh graders to the upcoming PSD Day at CSU women's basketball event. CSU has also donated tens of thousands of dollars to PSD classrooms over the years. 
PSD Ejection Policy for Spectators
Any spectator affiliated with PSD schools that is ejected or removed from an athletic venue due to poor sportsmanship will be placed on probation and not allowed to return to further PSD athletic events until the following have occurred:
- The individual meets with the building administration to discuss future expectations for behavior.
- The individual completes an approved NFHS Sportsmanship course. The course is free and is available online. A certificate of completion must be presented to the District Athletic Director as proof of meeting this requirement.
Repeated minor offenses or egregious acts of unsportsmanlike conduct including contact with an official, coach, staff member, opposing team members, throwing items onto court or floor, etc. will be grounds for law enforcement involvement and may be grounds for spectator to be permanently banned from all future PSD contests.
