CMEA Weekly

Thank you for volunteering and supporting the book fair this week!

In this season of giving thanks, CMEA would also like to 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.

Please be sure to take a look at the "Save the Date" section, so you can start planning for an equally amazing (if not more!) 2024! :)

Our first All Pro Dads Breakfast will be tomorrow at 7:30 a.m. After spending some time enjoying a pancake/sausage breakfast and sharing a few words, the attendees will head to the book fair.

Doughnut lovers 🍩❤️, we have a treat for you…

Charitable (so guilt-free), fresh to order (and perfectly glazed) dozens!!

Throughout THE ENTIRE MONTH OF NOVEMBER, more than 50% of orders will be donated back to CME when you purchase your doughnuts using our fundraising sales page! That's more than $7.50 per dozen coming straight to CME!!

Man, what a way to say "Thanks," amiright? (wink wink)

SCRIPS IS OFFICIALLY OPEN!

It's a great (and easy!) way to show how much you appreciate the teachers and staff who make Copper Mesa a great place for your child. Through SCRIPS, you can contribute funds toward gift cards that are then given to teachers and staff, along with all the contributions from other families.

We will be collecting contributions for gift cards from November 16th to December 7th.

We also have the privilege of sponsoring 8 local families (with a combined total of 14 kids) as a part of our SCRIPS program. You can send monetary gifts for the families through the same link as the teachers/staff.

How to use SCRIPS:

1) First, complete the Google form below by filling out who you would like to make donations to (in increments of $5). Determine your total donation amount and type it in at the bottom of the form. The total donation amount includes donations for the sponsored, as well. Be sure to submit the Google form when you're done.

• SCRIPS Google Form

2) Make the payment on MySchoolBucks.

Please share your fun CME moments with our Copper Mesa Yearbook Committee at coppermesayearbook@gmail.com to help us create the most memorable yearbook. We would love to see photos from Donuts and Grownups, Spirit Rocks, Field Trips, Class Parties, Watch D.O.G.S., or anything else you've captured. Be sure to include your student’s grade and teacher with each submission.

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.

Our Spring Fundraiser planning has kicked off, and we would love for you to join! The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 29th at 7:00 p.m. at Cassie G.’s home. If you would like to join or are interested in helping but can’t make this meeting, please reach out to Cassie at c9george@gmail.com.

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.

Sign Up to Be a Watch D.O.G.S. Dad

Got a knack for party planning? Love reaching out to local businesses? Looking to get your hands dirty (We know for a fact there are some interested dads out there!)?

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.

This money helps us to pay for teacher and school grants and host some of our events.

2. Sign in or register with your King Soopers card or phone number.
3. Click on Enroll.
4. Search by school code (AB638) or organization name (Copper Mesa Elementary School - CMEA).
