More than 20 elementary schools gathered at Olander Elementary School for the 2025 Poudre School District Mighty Math Minds Tournament, a Math Olympiad competition hosted by the PSD Gifted and Talented district office. Now in its 10th year, the tournament challenges students in individual and team rounds, celebrating problem-solving, collaboration and mathematical thinking.
Congratulations to the top three teams this year:
Earlier this month, the auditorium at Rocky Mountain High School was buzzing, not with applause for a concert or cheers for a sports game, but with excitement for books.
Students, staff and families from across Poudre School District gathered to celebrate the 19th annual district-wide Battle of the Books competition, a fast-paced and fun event that makes reading exciting for third through fifth-grade students.
Poudre School District is applying for the Title VI Formula Grant for the first time. If awarded, funding would support the 2025-26 school year.
The program addresses the unique cultural, language, and education-related academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) students, including preschool children. More information can be found in these informational slides. >>
Last year, Jack Taylor’s classmates at Preston Middle School used to stand in a circle between classes, heads down, and text each other. This year, with cell phones tucked away from the first bell until dismissal, more conversations are happening face-to-face.
“I feel like kids are more interactive in class and raise their hands more. Last year, they would just stare at their phones,” Taylor said.
For the third year in a row, fifth-grader Nikhil Ganta is the champion of the Poudre School District Spelling Bee. The Traut Elementary School student successfully spelled "ancillary" to win the 2025 title.
Congratulations to these students moving on to the Colorado State Spelling Bee.

On a crisp fall day, peer counselors and ambassadors from high schools across Poudre School District came together for the annual Peer Summit. This event deepens high school students' understanding of mental health and equips them with skills to support their peers.
This year, the Peer Summit took a new direction, offering students a unique experience at Colorado Youth Outdoors. Instead of the traditional sessions, students participated in activities like archery, fishing, and more.
