Don't miss the most exciting and anticipated pool event of the summer...the PTO-sponsored All-School Pool Party!
 
Who: All Flagstaff students and their families (this is a FREE event)
Where: Sunset Pool, 1900 Longs Peak Ave, Longmont, CO 80501

Come one, come all to a private PTO-sponsored pool party to launch the start of a great 2015/16 school year! The kids (and their parents and siblings) can rekindle existing friendships and ignite new ones while splashing, diving, and water sliding. 

Available at the pool party:
  • Snacks and drinks for purchase
  • Spirit Wear table with new dress code-approved shirts for purchase
  • Spirit Wear exchange table-bring clean, gently used Spirit Wear that your Dragon has outgrown and exchange it for a Spirit Wear garment donated by another family. This is a donation/exchange, so supplies are based on donations 
  • Volunteer sign-up kiosk-many opportunities available to satisfy the 30-hour-per-family volunteer requirement!
