| DCSD Loves Denver Nuggets Community Nights! |
Over 3,600 Douglas County School District supporters attended DCSD Community Night with the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, January 25. Nearly $15,000 was raised for DCSD schools as fans watched the Nuggets beat the Indiana Pacers 109-96!
DCSD Community Night also featured the Roxborough Intermediate choir singing the National Anthem, Bear Canyon Elementary assisting in the Flag Ceremony, and a spirited half time performance by ThunderRidge High School Cheer. The top selling schools, Frontier Valley Elementary, Rock Ridge Elementary, Roxborough Schools and Cimarron Middle School, were acknowledged in a special on-court presentation and each school received an autographed basketball. The 8 top selling schools were selected to participate in special events such as Court Time, High-five Fan Tunnels and Red, White and Blue Crew.
