PSD and CSU are partnering for the THIRD ANNUAL COMMUNITY CLASSIC high school football games. Come help Dunn cheer on the Poudre Impalas as they play Rocky Mountain High School at Canvas Stadium on Friday, Sep 27, 2024 at 7:30 pm. Please click here for more details.

Additionally, there will be a parade of schools between the two games (around 6:45 pm) in which Dunn is excited to participate. We will select approximately 8 students to represent our school in the parade. If you would like to enter your Dunn students into this drawing, please complete the Canvas Community Classic Elementary Parade Survey by 4pm on Monday, September 23rd. Mrs. Latuda will randomly select students Tuesday morning and notify the parents/guardians of these students to provide more information about the parade.

Thank you for supporting Dunn and our school district. We hope to see you at the Canvas Community Classic games!

Odyssey of the Mind is an international program focused on creative problem-solving and teamwork. OM brings the classroom to life as teams of students apply what they learn and combine it with their interests and passions. Our OM participants develop self-confidence and form strong friendships while learning about time management, public speaking, leadership, and so much more. To learn more about the Odyssey of the Mind program, please join us for a Family Exploration Night on Tuesday, September 24th from 5:00-6:00 in the Dunn Library. If you have questions, please contact Beth McKinney at amckinney@psdschools.org
