POSTPONED! Due to the rainy weather forecast, we are going to have to reschedule Nordic Fest to Friday, May 5th. Unfortunately, we can't run the Ninja Obstacle Course if there is rain and we have a chance of rain all day on Friday!
We are bummed that we have to reschedule Nordic Fest, but we do have a silver lining - we are offering the Ninja Obstacle Course, Art Activity, and eSports tournament FOR FREE FOR CURRENT LESHER STUDENTS!!!!
If you have already signed up and paid, you will be contacted via email for refund information. Your spot and shirt will still be reserved for the May 5th date.
If you haven't signed up and want to participate in the Ninja Obstacle Course, Art Activity, or eSports tournament - head on over to lesher.booktix.com to reserve your place! Spots are limited for the Art Activity and eSports tournament, so sign up early! If you are participating in the Ninja Obstacle course, you'll also need to sign the waiver. T-shirts will be given for these events, but will be on a first come, first served basis.
Even if you don't want to participate in those events, come on out to cheer your classmates on, make creations with sidewalk chalk, and eat delicious food from the food trucks! We can't wait to see you on Friday, May 5th from 3 - 7p.m.!
What is Nordic Fest?
We are excited to reintroduce this annual tradition after a small pause due to COVID. The annual Nordic Fest is where the heart of Fort Collins and Lesher Middle School come together to create an amazing experience. Students and families will enjoy a Ninja obstacle course, art event, eSports competition, music, food trucks, and more.
Money raised from this event supports teachers and staff through teacher grant request, as well as provides support for classroom supplies, updates to our school sign, and new heart-rate monitors for our PE department.

Nordic Fest will take place on Friday, April 14th from 3 - 7pm at Lesher
