CME PTO Weekly

Welcome back!! We hope you all had a wonderful, restful break. Please join us if you can on Friday after drop off, in the cafeteria, for our first PTO meeting of 2025! We will be discussing all things Spring Semester, we'll get an update on the Smart TVs from the Boosterthon funds, from Principal Laviaguerre and we’ll go over our plans for the Spring Fundraiser. Coffee and donuts will be provided!

The annual Daughter Dance is coming up and it's going to be an enchanting time!!

Our dance committee has been working hard to make an incredible experience for you and your daughters on January 25th from 6-8pm. Besides the amazing dancing, you'll be able to enjoy special crafts, an awesome photo set up, great treats and make awesome memories on a limo ride!!

If you would like to volunteer to help set up, help at the event or help clean up, please use this LINK.

Please use this LINK to purchase tickets. There is an option to purchase a ticket for more than one child, in the drop down menu.

And don't forget to take LOTS of photos for our yearbook! We can't wait to see all the daughters having a blast!!

Spring Fundraiser planning is underway, if you are interested in joining this fun committee, please email cmeapto@gmail.com. Our next planning meeting will be January 22nd, after dropoff, at the Starbucks on Red Cedar. We will be choosing committee tasks - AND paying for your coffee! - so come get in on the fun!

Also, we need your help! We are looking for donations of auction items, such as sporting tickets (Broncos, Rockies, Buffs, etc), VRBO rentals, services provided by your company, etc. If your family has a connection, or you know of a local business owner that may have a connection, and would be interested in a tax deductible donation to CME, please let us know! Please email cmeapto@gmail.com.

Please note the date change for our February Spirit Night at Urban Air - now on February 20th, from 4:00-8:00pm. We wanted to be sure that families have the option to attend the Wish Week Community Fair at Mountain Vista high school on February 6th, if they want to, and still be able to support CME with a fun night at Urban Air. Hope to see you at both!

Hello Families!

Our school wide Talent Show is approaching! We want to get information out to families early so that students can start preparing for their auditions.

Audition Expectations: Students need to present completed acts that are performance ready. Any props, music and costumes need to be ready and present at the time of their audition.

Audition Results: Results will be announced through individual letters on February 7th at the end of the school day. We have limited spots available.

Dress Rehearsals: February 12th and 19th from 3:45-5:00 (both days). Students in the talent show will need to bring all prompts and costumes to both dress rehearsals.

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 PTO in any way, please let us know.

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.
