A Little Note Goes a Long Way!
We are looking for your help to spread some encouragement during CMAS testing! We are asking families to handwrite a short note of encouragement, inspiration, or pride to our 3rd through 8th grade students as they tackle their CMAS assessments.
Here's the fun part: you won't be writing to your own child! All letters will be collected and randomly distributed to testing classrooms, so every student has a chance to receive a warm, heartfelt message from someone in our school community.
Your note doesn't have to be long, just a few sentences reminding a kid that they are capable, prepared, and amazing. Think things like "You've got this!", "We are so proud of you!", or "Believe in yourself, you are smarter than you know!" And feel free to write more than one, because the more notes we have, the more students we can reach!
Please drop off your handwritten note (or notes!) to the front office by March 27th. Every student deserves to feel supported, and your words just might make all the difference on test day.
Thank you for helping us lift our students up!

King Soopers Rewards: (Easiest way to passively fundraise without trying!) ****We voted to use our last quarter earnings to fund three different experiences for Winter Fest so stay tuned!!!!!! Every household subscribed helps our BIG time!
Help our school by buying your groceries. This last quarter we earned $1165.23 from families buying groceries! We used that money for Winter Fest festivities without even touching the budget! It is the easiest fundraiser and takes less than 10 minutes to set up. Set your neighbor up, grandma, dentist, whomever you have a relationship with.
A huge thank you to our current participants!! 188 families are currently contributing money towards our school line items from our budget.
