Oct. 18th - CME School Improvement Survey Closes
YOU Decide Where Our Funds Go!
Please take time to share with us your thoughts on what to put our fundraising dollars toward! Final bid information for a free-standing electronic marquee came in right as Boosterthon was ending, and it’s a much higher cost than anticipated, unfortunately. So to provide CME families an opportunity to have a voice in improvements at school, CMEA researched numerous ideas from parents and staff over the years and presented it in this slide deck.
Please review the slide deck and cast a vote for your top 2 improvements.
The survey will be open until October 18th.
We Need Your Help!
There are so many great things underway at CME! If you've been considering helping out in any way, now's the perfect time! Here are a few of our top needs (more info in the "Volunteer Opportunities" section below):
Photo Class Rep
Our yearbook committee is looking for class parent representatives for the following classes:
- Osowski
- Dew
- Dunn
- Hollist
- Mackin
- Zehner
- Feinstein
- Feltz
- Broomhead
If you are a parent with a kiddo in one of those classes, we would love to have you be the class parent rep. Your role? Be the go-to person for gathering and sending in photos for that class. You don’t have to be the main photographer. :) Just collect and forward photos from other parents from that class. Email coppermesayearbook@gmail.com or text 607-725-7647 if you are interested in being a class rep.
Son Event
If you are interested in helping organize this year's son event, please join us via Zoom on October 13th @ 4:00 p.m. Join the Zoom Call Here
WATCH D.O.G.S.
We're also always in need of WATCH D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students)! This is a great opportunity to provide examples of positive male role models, as well as provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and help reduce bullying. Dads, you can spend either a half or whole day with your children in the classroom, at lunch, and at recess.
Helping to Plan a Halloween Party?
Likewise, don't forget about our King Soopers rewards! One of our biggest and easiest fundraisers has proven to be King Soopers Cards. In just over a year, our total donation received is typically in excess of $15,000. If you haven’t registered your rewards number (phone number) yet, please do so. It’s quick and easy and a great way to earn funds for our school. This money helps us to pay for teacher and school grants and host some of our events.
- Visit kingsooperscommunityrewards.com.
- Sign in or register with your King Soopers card or phone number.
- Click on Enroll.
- Search by school code (AB638) or organization name (Copper Mesa Elementary School - CMEA).
Got Pics?
Please share your fun CME moments with our Copper Mesa Yearbook Committee at coppermesayearbook@gmail.com to help us create the most memorable yearbook. We would love to see photos from Boosterthon, Back to School Night Celebration, cool painted Spirit Rocks, or anything else you've captured. Be sure to include your student’s grade and teacher with each submission.
We are able to do so many events and fundraisers for our school because of the wonderful volunteers we have. If you are interested in helping our efforts, please let us know by completing our online form and indicating the areas you would like to help us with this year: Volunteer Form.
Upcoming CMEA Events: TBD
We are currently looking for volunteers for Teacher/Staff Appreciation, our Daughter Event, our Son Event, School Beautification, and our Spring Fundraiser. If you would like to volunteer with CMEA in any of these areas, please let us know.
Classroom Photos: Ongoing
Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students): Ongoing
Watch D.O.G.S. is a program that gives dads the opportunity to spend either a half or whole day in the building with their children. You will help in classrooms and go to lunch and recess with your child.
The purpose of the program:
- To provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is essential.
- To provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying. All dads are encouraged to be a Watch D.O.G.S. Dad at least once a year.
