Social media, the pandemic, and climate change were just some of the external pressures students and parents cited during a panel discussion about the challenges facing our youth and local resources and support.

Parent Partnership Summit
October 20, 2022
We invited PTO and PTA leaders across BVSD to a Parent Partnership Summit last month to help them strengthen their fundraising efforts and connect with other parent leaders to grow their impact in our schools. Representatives from the NAACP Boulder County shared resources and ideas for implementing or strengthening school DEI committees before a Q&A session with BVSD superintendent Dr. Anderson about upcoming needs and current district issues.
Together We Build

We are humbled by the outpouring of support we received at our annual gala, Together We Build.

Together we raised over $300,000 to help students build resilience, confidence and their path to success.
Impact Awards 2022

Impact Awards 2021
March 14- May 28, 2021
In a normal school year, this is the time we recognize one individual from each school with an Impact Award. This, however, is not an ordinary school year, so we decided to recognize the entire BVSD community’s continued commitment to education.
Holiday Book Drive
Nov. 30 – Dec. 14, 2020

Over 300 people joined together virtually to support the students of Boulder Valley public schools. Thank you to our attendees, auction donors and sponsors for coming together to help us raise nearly $240,000 for the Critical Needs Fund.
