Lunch on the lawn starts next week!  Come out and enjoy lunch outdoors with your child and classmates.  We need several volunteers to make this fun event possible.  Please sign up  for a one hour slot (or more) to help students cross safely to the lawn. The students love eating outside, but it is not possible without our volunteers!

Strong early start to King Soopers Reloadable card program!

  

In August, our loyal reloading community finished summer strong!  Parents, teachers, and friends added money to Lenski-linked reloadable King Soopers cards, then used those cards to pay for gas, food, and gift cards. Thanks to these efforts with the Reloadable Grocery Cards, the PTO has received a check for more than $1,300 for August -- keep it up, everyone!

 

Questions? Need a Reloadable Grocery Card? Call or e-mail your inquiries & any special requests to Cameron Morgan at 303-257-9747, jcMorgan1969@yahoo.com, Jenn Regan at 303-503-6243, MattAndJennRegan@yahoo.com, or Ashley Gonzales at 720-404-2486, AshleyGonzales@comcast.
