As summer settles into the crisp, cool days of fall, the school garden at Poudre Global Academy continues to flourish, with visits from buzzing bees, butterflies floating through the air, and the occasional bunny hiding between the potting soil bags.
Fourteen Poudre School District schools have been selected for Governor’s Distinguished Improvement awards or John Irwin Schools of Excellence awards for their achievements in the 2021-22 school year. One PSD elementary school was recognized with both.
The Colorado Department of Education recently honored schools and districts across the state that won 2022 performance awards for outstanding academic student growth and/or achievement.
Getting fresh crayons, glue sticks and notebooks add to the excitement and anticipation a new school year brings. To ensure all kids experience that and are ready to learn, PSD and community partners are working together to provide brand-new school supplies for students in need.
The 2023-24 school year is almost here and schools are getting ready to welcome students back!
Every Wednesday morning between spring and summer breaks, the music room at Laurel Elementary School transforms into a dance studio.
A group of 14 first-graders are the first to trickle into the room for a 45-minute specials class, some bursting with giggles and wiggles, others more reserved. Jessica Loveall, the school psychologist and former professional dancer who developed this class, turns on gentle, wordless music and leads students through a series of movements back and forth across the room.
Poudre School District is proud to share with you the names of five outstanding individuals who will serve as the new principals of Beattie Elementary School, Laurel Elementary School, Lincoln Middle School, O’Dea Elementary School, and Polaris Expeditionary Learning School starting in 2023-24.

On Jan. 13, a crowd of students, families, staff and volunteers gathered in the Bamford Elementary School gym for a formal grand opening of the Gary Bamford Pack Pantry, a student-led community resource center dedicated to helping those in need by offering free clothes, shoes, toiletries and food.
Anticipation filled the air before the opening notes of the musical "Chicago" rang out across a sea of nearly 5,000 people in the audience. Cast members, musicians and crew might have felt a little nervous before performing, but excitement won out in the end.
