The Colorado Springs School District 11-   May 27, 2025          
 
Just as learning does not end when school lets out, neither does the need for good nutrition. Children who aren't hungry learn better, act better, and feel better. During the school year, more than 18 million children receive free and reduced-price meals at school. During the summer, that number drops to about 3 million. Summer food programs provide nutritious meals to children starting tomorrow, May 28, 2025.
 
School District 11 will again offer an open summer food service program for children 1-18 years of age.  The program will provide free breakfast and lunch during the summer at the locations, dates, and times shown below.   
       
Please note: All sites will be closed on Thursday, July 4th in observance of Federal holidays.
 
Please see the attachments for a complete list of sites in English and Spanish.

60 Years Of Empowering Learners: D11 Adult And Family Education Program To Celebrate Graduation And Historic Anniversary -05/23/25

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — For six decades, the Adult and Family Education (AFE) Program of Colorado Springs School District 11 has transformed lives and communities through the power of learning. On Thursday, May 29, 2025, the District invites the public to a special evening of recognition and celebration at the Roy J. Wasson Academic Campus (RJWAC), beginning with the Graduation and Celebration of Learning at 7:00 PM, followed by the 60th Anniversary Celebration at 8:00 PM.
 

Founded in 1965, AFE has been a cornerstone of adult education across the Pikes Peak region, offering transformative opportunities for learners of all backgrounds. From adult basic education and English language acquisition to career development and dual-generational literacy, AFE prepares individuals for personal growth, academic achievement, and workforce readiness.
 

Celebrating 60 Years of Transforming Lives, One Lesson at a Time
 

This year’s event is more than a graduation—it's a community milestone. For 60 years, AFE has:

  • Empowered Adults: Thousands have achieved literacy, job readiness, and lifelong learning goals.
  • Strengthened Families: Through our Family Literacy programming, we support two generations at once—ensuring parents and children learn and thrive together.
  • Inspired Community Impact: Our alumni contribute meaningfully to the Pikes Peak region, creating lasting ripple effects of opportunity and hope.

“Our graduates are living proof that education is transformative at any stage of life,” said Principal Wendy Swearingen. “We are incredibly proud of the legacy AFE has built—and excited to see how our learners continue to shape the future.”
 

Powered by Partnerships

The impact of AFE is magnified through strong community collaboration. We are honored to work alongside partners including:

Pikes Peak Workforce Center, Pikes Peak State College, Colorado Department of Education (Adult Education Initiatives), Colorado Department of Labor and Employment / The Office of New Americans, Lutheran Family Services, First United Methodist Church, Mountain Metro Transit, CPCD – giving children a head start, Parent Possible, Buell Foundation, Tony Grampsas Youth Services (TGYS), and many more.

TRAFFIC ADVISORY: Temporary Closure Of Boulder Street Begins June 3 For Palmer High School Renovation (Photo) -05/20/25

Temporary Closure of Boulder Street Begins June 3 for Palmer High School Renovation

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Beginning the morning of June 3, 2025, Boulder Street will be temporarily closed between Nevada Avenue and Weber Street to support the first phase of renovations at William J. Palmer High School.

This closure is temporary and is expected to last approximately 2.5 years. It is necessary to allow for the laydown of heavy materials directly on Boulder Street and to create a secure access route for construction vehicles entering and exiting the site. This setup will ensure the safe delivery of new materials and efficient removal of demolition debris as construction proceeds.

It is important to note that this is not a permanent closure of Boulder Street. A separate and more extensive process—involving formal application to City Council and opportunities for community engagement—would be required to vacate the public right-of-way on a permanent basis.

The closure supports a major renovation to one of Colorado Springs’ most historic schools and is part of an ongoing effort to modernize learning environments for current and future students.

For more information about the Palmer High School renovation project, visit www.d11.org/palmerrenovation.

 

Closure and Detour Map

The map attached shows the section of Boulder Street that will be closed between Nevada Avenue and Weber Street from June 3, 2025, through January 3, 2028. It also highlights the anticipated short-term impacts on Weber Street through July 20, 2026. Signage and detour routes will be clearly posted to assist drivers and pedestrians in navigating the area safely during construction.
