I wanted to thank everybody for your support of our Jazz Band's trip to NYC this weekend!  The kids had a great time and played GREAT!!!!  I've attached a picture from our performance Saturday afternoon.  Please congratulate the students on a job well done.  A fantastic representation of PHS!  So proud...

The PHS FIRST Robotics Team 159 competed in the Denver Regional Tournament April 4-6th. Twenty nine students attended three days of practice games and competitive matches. This year’s game involved tossing Frisbees across the field into goals, and climbing a (totally) tubular steel pyramid, rung-by-rung. The robot struggled to perform in the early matches, but as always, the team pulled through and had some very successful rounds on the last day.

Poudre's Science Olympiad team won the state meet on Saturday, April 20, at the Colorado School of Mines and will get to represent the state of Colorado at the national meet at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio on May 17 and 18.

If you'd like to help support students in their competition in Ohio, please contact George Osborne at 488-6018 or send a check to Poudre High School with "Science Olympiad" in the note line.  The total for sending these students to the national competition will be about $13,000.
