Hundreds of people crowded Manitou Avenue sidewalks — and at least one rooftop — on Friday, Sept. 30, to watch the annual celebration of School District 14 students. Athletics teams rode on Manitou Springs Fire Department trucks and in buses, and graduates returned for the district’s 150th anniversary.
