On donations, the financial presentation listed nearly $373,000 in gifts to schools for the October–December 2025 quarter, bringing the fiscal year-to-date total above $865,000. Highlights included a $5,000 donation from Anna Wing to Sunset Middle School’s theater program, $1,600 from the Colorado Avalanche to Mountain View Elementary, $5,000 from Michael and Melissa Edwards for special-needs programming at Frederick High School, and $2,000 from the Rotary Club of Mead to support Mead High’s Interact Club.
