PSD schools celebrate milestone anniversaries in 2024-25 school year 

Our schools in Poudre School District have always been places of learning and growth while serving as spaces where our community gathers, connects, and flourishes together. 

As we celebrate the milestone anniversaries of schools this year, we honor the deep-rooted relationships they’ve nurtured, the countless memories they’ve shaped, and the lasting impact they’ve had on students, families, and the wider community. These schools continue to foster a true sense of belonging for all who walk through their doors.

Congratulations to these schools celebrating anniversaries in the 2024-25 school year - Dunn Elementary School (75 years) and Kinard Middle School (20 years). See photos from their celebrations below. 

Kinard Middle School

Kinard Middle School celebrated its 20th anniversary on Sept. 5, 2024, with the Kinard Community Extravaganza, a four-in-one celebration! The event featured food trucks, a wellness fair, the 20th-anniversary festivities, and the Taste of Kinard fundraiser supporting their award-winning choir, set to perform in England this December. More than just food and fun, the evening brought the community together to honor Kinard’s history and share a memorable celebration.
