The Fossil Ridge High School Marching Band has once again proven its dominance, capturing the Colorado Class 5A State Championship for the fourth consecutive year in a stunning performance at the U.S. Air Force Academy. Scoring 89.550 and sweeping every judged category—music, visual, and general effect—the SaberCats outperformed the competition by 1.1 points. This victory marks their eighth state title in just 14 years, solidifying Fossil Ridge as a true powerhouse in Colorado marching band history.
Poudre School District is already out of this world when it comes to education, but one of our wonderful high schools has taken that phrase to new heights.
Poudre High School recently received one of several “Moon Trees,” the seedling of a Douglas-fir that traveled more than 268,000 miles from Earth before returning to the ‘pale blue dot.’
Classrooms work best when students disconnect from social media and personal devices and connect with their classmates, their teachers, and learning.
On Monday mornings at Poudre School District’s Bauder Elementary School, fourth- and fifth-grade students don’t just go to class; they choose it.
Through Encore Enrichment, students rotate through art, music, physical education and technology specials, but with more voice and choice involved than a traditional specials schedule.
Students from Bennett Elementary School gathered in front of laptops and projection screens shortly after 9 a.m. on March 7 for a long-awaited video call.
It was just after 7 p.m. on the other side of the call – and the other side of the world – at Mwebaza Annex School in Uganda. Delighted to see each other’s faces after months of anticipation, the friends joined in celebrating Mwebaza (pronounced mWHAY-bah-zah) Day – a time to share performances, ask questions, and bond across time zones.
