Turkey Round Up is Nov. 16!
The "Tour de Turkey" will be held Thursday, Nov. 16, at participating Poudre School District schools. Donate frozen turkeys, hams and chickens, along with other food items, to help everyone in Larimer County have a holiday meal. Donations go to the Food Bank of Larimer County, which distributes holiday food baskets to those in need.
Check with your school to determine when donations are being accepted!
Youth Homeless Awareness in November
Currently, Poudre School District has identified 7% more students experiencing some form of homelessness or housing insecurity as compared to the same time last year. The student and family needs within this program continue to grow as well, and due to historical trends, it's anticipated that McKinney numbers will increase by 10% this school year.
By the end of the 2022-23 school year, PSD identified 1,438 students K through 12th-grade, or almost 5% of our student population, who qualified for McKinney-Vento services. Learn how you can help >>
