COLORADO SPRINGS — Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is reminding the community to remain bear aware after several bears were spotted at a local elementary school.

CPW posted photos and videos of the bears on their Twitter account Friday.

CPW said the elementary school did the right thing– they called CPW and sent their own security out to keep people away until the bears moved on.
