In an effort to reduce our waste and support our Lesher community, we are opening Lesher’s first ever “Thrift Store!” And it’s free! Come take what you want – if you need a Lesher shirt, take it! If you want a jacket, it’s yours! Need a water bottle, we’ve got it for you! The Lesher Thrift Store is located right outside Mr. Mitchell’s office (room 36), across the hall from the front office, with many of the items displayed in the window and is open on “Blue” Days after school until 2:40. Please come take what you want and leave the rest for others, and please keep our space organized so we can all use it! Thanks, and go Vikings! Please note: all clothing has been donated and is lightly used.

NEXT Friday, February 13th, is the City of Fort Collins WINTER BIKE TO WORK DAY and Lesher is hosting an official station. If you bike, there will be stations around town with food and other prizes (check out this map for locations). Some stations are open BEFORE school, and some are open AFTER school! At Lesher, bikers will get pancakes, bike stickers, and entered to win prizes including gift cards to local businesses. We will also have a bike mechanic to fix up your bike! So, make sure to bundle up and be seen (jacket, gloves, lights), and hop on your bike NEXT Friday to join the fun!

NOTE: for this bike event, you must be on a bike (no scooters, walkers, etc.) and you must have a helmet on!

Support TSA at State and maybe nationals! Connected Nation extended the deadline for completing tech tutorial surveys. For each completed survey, our organization receives $10. So, completing 4 surveys is a $40 donation! https://bit.ly/lesherTTT

PTO will be meeting for our February meeting in the Lesher Media Center (Library) on Tuesday the 10th at 5:30.

February is off to an exciting start at the Club, with opportunities for our members to shine, connect, and have a whole lot of fun. From leadership moments to dance floor vibes, we’re so excited for what this month has in store—and we’re glad you’re part of it!

What’s Happening This Month?
This month is all about confidence, creativity, and community.

🏆 Youth of the Year Competition — Thursday, February 5
We’re kicking off February by celebrating our amazing youth leaders! Our Youth of the Year competition will take place at the Fort Collins Club in the Discovery Den from 4:45–5:30 PM. Members will be delivering their speeches and sharing their stories, and we would love to see families there to cheer them on. Light snacks and drinks will be provided—come support our members as they step into the spotlight!

💃 Valentine’s Teen Night Dance — Thursday, February 12 | 6:30–8:30 PM
Love is in the air… and on the dance floor! Our Valentine’s Teen Night Dance is happening next Thursday, and it’s going to be a blast. We’re excited to welcome teens from the Loveland and Wellington Clubs for a fun-filled night of dancing, music, and connection. Grab your friends and get ready for an awesome evening together!

🎧 Beat Lab with Off the Hook Arts — February 9 & 23
Our Beat Lab partnership with Off the Hook Arts continues this month! Members will dive into DJing, beats, rhythm, and music creativity during sessions on Monday the 9th and Monday the 23rd. This hands-on program is a hit and a great way for members to explore music and self-expression.

Stay Connected
February is packed with meaningful moments and fun experiences, and we can’t wait to share them with you. As always, stop by the front desk for reminders, schedules, and updates throughout the month.

Thank you for being such a supportive and engaged part of the BGCFC family—we’re looking forward to a fantastic February together!

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!

Dear PSD Families,

As we welcome students back to school, we are excited for all the opportunities the new calendar year brings.

As we kick off 2026, we encourage you to take a moment to log in to ParentVUE to ensure that all information, including contact information, is up to date. Keeping your information current ensures you can fully benefit from the tools and resources ParentVUE provides, including access to:

• Grades
• Attendance
• Schedules
• Other important student information

If you haven’t already, you can access ParentVUE through the secure online portal or download the app from the iTunes Store or Google Play app stores. You will be able to view and edit your student’s information directly in the application. If you want to change your emergency contacts, release to status, etc. you must call your school directly to make those changes.

If you have any difficulty accessing ParentVUE, please contact the front office at your child’s school for assistance.

By ensuring your information is up to date, you help us maintain seamless communication and ensure that you stay informed about your student’s progress and updates from their school.

Thank you for being an active part of our PSD community. We look forward to an amazing year of growth and learning together!

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.
