Lesher is supporting 14 families during the holiday season. ELO classes are assigned a family in need. Please use this document to find your child's ELO teacher and the family's list of needs. Thank you so much and please reach out with any questions.

Rowan Phippen and Sierra Vander Meeden were both selected this year to create Masks for the annual mask fundraiser at MoA (Museum of Art Fort Collins). This show won't be up until April, but they have just finished their masks and they look fantastic! If you see them, congratulate them on representing Lesher!

Want to give your teacher a holiday present but don't know what to get them? Use this spreadsheet for some ideas!

Dear Lesher Families,

Mr. Mayer’s Outdoor Living class is participating in the Rethink Your Rubbish Conservation Challenge in partnership with the Denver Zoo. Students kicked off their project with a visit to the Denver Zoo to learn how our waste behaviors can impact wildlife around the world, both positively and negatively. Students then identified an area of need and are working on projects to change our waste behaviors in our Lesher community. Two groups are seeking donations of “lightly-used” clothing and water bottles for their projects. See below for more information from our Lesher students:

Water Bottle Donation Project

There are lots of reusable water bottles that end up in the lost and found at Lesher (or unused at home) that cannot be donated so they are thrown away which endangers the environment. Our students here at Lesher have started a campaign to reuse the old water bottles by washing and donating them to people in need. We would love to have you donate old reusable water bottles that you don't need. There will be bins by the front office and Mr. Mayer's room (12).

Viking Community Closet Thrift Store

Do you want to be a part of helping wildlife and reducing waste here at Lesher? You can help out by donating used clothing and visiting our new thrift shop! The Viking Community Closet hopes to have shoes, clothing, and other lightly-used donated items for FREE! However, this can only happen if you donate your used clothing (please wash it before donating). Donations start after Thanksgiving Break, and the store itself hopes to open on December 8th. After December 8th, the store will only be open on BLUE days from 2:45 to 3:30. For more information, please contact Mr. Mayer at bmayer@psdschools.org or check out the posters around the school. Thank you, Vikings!

Welcome to December, BGCFC Families!
We’re closing out the year with joy, energy, and plenty of exciting events for our members and families. Thank you for being part of our community and for making this season so special here at the Club.

What's Happening This Month?

We have some exciting events and programs lined up as we wrap up 2025!

We’re excited to share that the new Choose PSD website is now live at psdschools.org/choosepsd!

This site was designed to serve as a central hub for families to learn about all the amazing schools and programs in Poudre School District. From neighborhood schools to choice options, from early childhood through high school, it brings together information that previously lived in multiple places into one clear, easy-to-navigate experience.

The site features:

• School Profiles: Highlights of all PSD schools and their unique programs and learning opportunities.
• Registration Information: Step-by-step guides for registration and School Choice, including timelines for the 2026–27 school year.
• Campus Events: A live list of open houses and kindergarten information nights across the district.
• Programs & Pathways: Overviews of specialized learning models, from IB and Core Knowledge to Dual Language and Career & Technical Education.
• Frequently Asked Questions: A comprehensive resource addressing common registration, transportation, athletics, and program questions.

Our goal is to create a single, welcoming space where current and prospective families can easily explore PSD schools, find answers, and take the next step to enroll.

Does your child play a fall sport or participate in an activity outside of school? We are beginning to compile an 8th grade video slideshow for the end-of-the-year celebration, which tries to feature every student as well as every school sport/club. Help make this year’s video amazing by submitting short ACTION VIDEOS (2-8 seconds long) to Ms. Thompson at juliat@psdschools.org ! You can also reach out to her with any questions about the slideshow. More details about the video montage in a few months!

Please visit our Yearbook Website to order a yearbook or share pictures. Eighth grade families, you can use the website to purchase a baby ad as well!

If you are a Morning Fresh Dairy customer, please bring in your rinsed milk, juice, cream, or other caps to Mr. Mayer. For every cap that is returned, Lesher Middle School earns money. Please turn rinsed caps in to the box in the front office or to Mr. Mayer’s classroom (room 12). If you are interested in Morning Fresh Dairy, every new household sign up that mentions Lesher raises $25. Click here or ask Mr. Mayer (bmayer@psdschools.org) for more information.

In an effort to foster a culture of mutual respect, effective communication, and quality customer service, PSD has created a set of norms for staff, family/guardian, and community engagement. These norms aim to set a positive tone for interactions between staff and parents and community members, whether they happen in person, over the phone, or in writing.

The norms will be posted in all PSD schools and include expectations that:

• Calls or emails that are not emergencies will be acknowledged within three school days.

• Appointments between the parties involved will be established as a norm for addressing concerns or discussing important matters through direct communication.

• Appointments will take place as soon as reasonably possible. Adequate time is needed for preparation and research before an appointment.

• Communication will focus on collaboration and understanding – respectful language and non-confrontational behavior from all parties are expected.

• Boundaries between personal and professional life will be maintained, and sensitive matters will not be addressed in community settings.

It’s important for everyone in our schools and in our communities to feel welcome and engage in mutual respect to best serve students.
