CMEA Weekly

Thank you for volunteering and supporting the book fair this week! You can still shop tomorrow morning until 9:00.

In this season of giving thanks, CME PTO would like to say thank you for being an amazing, engaged school community. Without your help and support we are unable to do any of the fun things we do for the students, staff and school.

Don't forget to join us at Freddy's in Town Center for our Spirit Night. Just mention Copper Mesa when you go in, and if you can't make it use the promo code GIVEBACK online or in the app! Copper Mesa gets back 15% of tonight's sales from 4-8pm.

Ms Squire’s 3rd grade class raised the MOST money during Boosterthon and earned a pizza party! They enjoyed their pizza lunch yesterday and PTO was so happy to be able to celebrate their amazing fundraising efforts!

Thank you to everyone who donated a frozen turkey to our Turkey Drive this year! These turkeys will help feed families in need throughout Colorado this holiday season, so they are much appreciated. If you didn’t get a chance to drop one off today, you can still drop off on Sunday at RE/MAX Leaders at 12600 E Arapahoe Rd, Suite B, Centennial 80112. The class that donates the most turkeys will earn a pizza party from Student Leadership!

We had our rescheduled PTO meeting this morning and had a great turnout! We discussed feedback from this year’s Boosterthon and the overall feeling was dissatisfaction. The overall feeling from teachers, students and parents was that we did not get the level of service from Boosterthon that we have become accustomed to in years past, and that it was confusing for new parents and unclear for many others. We also discussed options for next year (including our decision to move away from Boosterthon and try a new platform where we will be able to keep a significantly higher amount of the money raised, but also will be responsible for all of the work, so we will be seeking volunteers!) and decided to put a survey out to the community to see what people would like to see. Please ask your children as well, and fill out this Google Form when you can, if you would like to have input.

The first round of Original Works orders was due yesterday, but there's still time to place your order! We will continue accepting orders until December 6th.

To place an order, please refer to the flyers sent home with your child for their personalized ordering code. If you cannot find the code or need assistance, feel free to reach out to Mrs. Burke at kburke@dcsdk12.org.

Alternatively, you can also search for your child’s artwork directly through the link below:

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.
