Boohoo and Woohoo Potluck for Steve: Sunday, May 19th
When: Sunday, May 19th
Where: Red-Tail Park
What Time: 4:00-7:00 p.m.
As we close out the year, we are also saying goodbye to someone who has meant so much to our school. Our princiPAL, Steve, is retiring, and while we are sad (boohoo!) to see him go, we also know he has many fun adventures ahead in his next chapter (woohoo!).
Please save the date for May 19th (4:00-7:00 p.m.) at Red-Tail Park for a potluck gathering to wish him well. We encourage you to bring your favorite dish and invite other CME families (current and past) to join us.
Let's show Steve just how much we appreciate all that he's done for our kids!
RSVP by letting us know what you are bringing: Potluck Sign Up

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.
Upcoming CMEA Events: Ongoing
We are always looking for volunteers for Teacher/Staff Appreciation, our Daughter Event, our Son Event, School Beautification, our Spring Fundraiser, etc. If you would like to volunteer with CMEA in any way, please let us know.
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 typically in excess of $15,000. If you havenβt registered your rewards number (phone number) yet, please do so. Itβs 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.

- 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).
