Boosterthon Obstacle Course: 9/1
Boosterthon officially kicked off this week!
This is the first step to help our school reach the $20,000 fundraising goal this year for teacher grants and improvements around the school grounds -- and hopefully a new marquee!
Did you see the celebration this morning in front of the school? The Boosterthon team has arrived at CME and is getting us ready for our BIG day on September 1st.
Here’s how you can support Copper Mesa:
- Register on mybooster.com tonight. It’s so easy!
- Share about our fundraiser with your family and friends using the SHARE BUTTON on mybooster.com.

This year, there are some extra fun sharing and donation features to help us raise funds, including:

- Easy sharing through emails and texts
- Automatic payment features, like Apple Pay
And guess what?! The first class to get 100% registration wins a freezer pop party!
We also need parent support at the obstacle course to help our event run smoothly and safely for kids. If you have availability the morning of September 1st, sign up Here.

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.
Boosterthon Obstacle Course: 9/1
To make our Cougar Ninja Course a success, we need parent volunteers to help monitor each obstacle and assist any children who may need a helping hand or a word of encouragement to keep going.
CMEA Shed Cleanup and Organizing: TBD
Do you like labeling? Do you watch videos of people organizing their homes? Are you slightly obsessed with "The Home Edit"? Join us as we dig through years of Copper Mesa history by cleaning up and organizing the CMEA shed! Let us know you're interested and when you have availability.
Milk Caps for Moolah (Super Minimal Obligation!): Ongoing
This volunteer will be responsible for gathering milk caps from the collection bin by the front office when it's full. Once you've picked up the full bag 2-3 times, you coordinate with Longmont Dairy for porch pickup from your home using their redemption form. Longmont Dairy then sends a check to Copper Mesa. How easy is that?! We will provide you with the form and contact info.
Email cmeapto@gmail.com If You Are Interested
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.
CMEA hosts two large fundraisers: one in the fall and one in the spring. Between these two fundraisers, there are optional Spirit Nights at local establishments. Just last year, we were able to obtain enough funds to completely update our book selection in the library!
