C'mon! We Don't Bite!!
When we see a request looking for volunteers to run for the PTO Board, we all think "Someone else will do it;" or "I don't want to compete for a position;" or even "I don't have time and won't know how to do it." So, guess what happens? Yup. No one comes forward. There has never been a better time to make a difference for our children. Come volunteer with parents who are welcoming, supportive, smart, and have a great sense of humor if we do say so ourselves! The PTO Officers have 15 children among them, so we understand time restraints and priorities! If you'd like to volunteer with the PTO, we will find or create a position that fits your passions and needs, give you training to succeed, and promise you will not be turned away. We know you will not regret volunteering with the PTO!
For more information:
Contact PTO President Angel Platt at plattplace@gmail.com or call
303-775-6053.
Peaksapalooza planning is happening now. Put your twist on it!
Peaksapalooza will be a K-12 live music-themed end-of-the year picnic right here at our school! We need several volunteer leaders to manage music, food, activities, door prizes, donations, and decorations. Please contact Tiare Bedell at trebedell@hotmail.com if you are interested in helping plan this exciting event!
Teacher Appreciation Week
We are looking for parents with a passion to bless the teachers and staff during teacher appreciation week by decorating our school hallways. Please call Kim Kroeger at 303-485-8727 if you would like to be a part of the decorating team.
Reminders
Continue to collect your Box-Tops, Labels for Education, Longmont Dairy milk caps, and be sure to use your Re-Loadable King Sooper or Safeway cards. Every little bit helps benefit our school.
