CMEA Weekly

At the PTO meeting last month, we discussed several options for where we would like to see the funds from the fundraiser spent. Please take time to share with us your thoughts. To provide CME families an opportunity to have a voice in improvements at school, the PTO researched numerous ideas from parents and staff over the years and presented it in this SLIDE DECK. Please check it out, and cast your VOTE HERE by tomorrow. If you have any other ideas, please feel free to email us at cmeapto@gmail.com.

You will also be seeing a paper leaf come home in your child’s Thursday folder today. This is to write something nice about your teacher, or an encouraging word, and will be displayed on a tree in the lounge, with their snacks. Please return your leaves to the school as soon as possible, either to your teacher or to the front office.

Please contact Heather at cmeapto@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to help set up or clean up in the staff lounge and haven’t already signed up.

If you thought that we forgot about Boosterthon this year, think again! We are gearing up to have a different type of event this year with an indoor Glow Dance Party! We are excited to try something new this year and we hope the kids will love it. Mark your calendars for the event on October 30th, with registration starting October 7th, and all the fun starting when we get back from Fall Break, October 21st!

The planning for our annual Son Event is underway, so mark your calendars for November 2nd, from 2:00-4:00pm! This event will take place at the HRCA Backcountry Wilderness Area. There will be a scavenger hunt, scat identification and a group game. If weather is an issue, we will reschedule for the spring. Tickets are $20 per child, and adults are free! You can purchase your tickets HERE. We hope to see lots of you there with your wonderful sons!

Calling all classroom parents! Are you helping plan a Halloween party in the classroom? Need something easy? Consider using MyClassroomParty. They have a full party kit ready to go that’s age appropriate. Two local moms started this company and the great news is CME gets 20% back on any party kit purchases when you use our school code.

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:

1. To provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is essential.
2. 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.

KING SOOPERS CARDS

One of our biggest and easiest fundraisers has proven to be King Soopers Cards. In just over a year our total donation received is 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.
