Giving back to the community is not limited only to the holiday season. However, this time of year tends to be a season for sharing with others and reflecting on what is truly important. Many Poudre School District schools have established initiatives and events geared toward giving back in recent weeks and throughout the school year. Each school has unique traditions and ways they give back, but here are a few recent highlights across PSD.
In Poudre School District, all schools offer strong academic and social opportunities for students. At our neighborhood schools, your child will live near and go to class with their classmates, building a tightknit community together over time.
