CMEA Weekly

Thank You, Copper Mesa Community!
We, the board, cannot express in words how grateful we are for all of you for your support this year. Whether it was showing up at a school event, supporting a fundraiser, attending a PTO meeting for meaningful discussion, organizing an event, or reading our newsletters, we want you to know that we sincerely appreciate you!
Most of all, we've had fun this year, and we hope you did, too!
Enjoy your summer, and we'll see you back this August!

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
Come Get Your 6th Grade Graduate Sign!
We are so proud of our 6th graders! So, parents, stop by the front desk and pick up a CME graduate sign! Families can pick up one sign per home as a gift from CMEA.
School Supply Kits Are Available!

CME Kindie Playdates Have Been Scheduled!

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 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).
RENT THE ROCK!
Don’t forget to reserve the Spirit Rock for your special dates! Sign up HERE for the date you need and submit payment through MySchoolBucks or drop off cash/checks at the front office.
**Please remember: Reservations do not begin until 4:00 pm the day prior to your reservation. Rock painting should not begin prior to 4:00 p.m. We appreciate your cooperation.**
MILK CAPS FOR MOOLA
We are collecting Longmont Dairy Milk Caps again this year. There is a box near the front office desk where you can deposit them. Thank you!
