September:
-
Golf event - 10/1
-
Trade and Play - 10/7
-
Fall Carnival - 10/29
-
General PTO meetings this year, unfortunately,
will not be providing food or child watching services, as we
are more financially
constrained then in the past. Last Tuesday’s meeting
went well with some good feedback on ways to improve our
fundraisers
and time-planning so far. The next general PTO meeting
is November 15 at 6:00 PM. Feel free to contact any of
the PTO board members
with your concerns or ideas you have for us. (See list,
left side)
-
We have need for a volunteer to help get PTO
volunteers! We have found that much of the footwork in getting
things done
could
be distributed more evenly among our ACS parents (and
the PTO board members, plus a select few are having difficulty
covering
all the jobs). We are looking to take on a parent (or
two) who could establish phone trees, and work with the board
making
contacts
with other parents. You’d get to know people and
get credit for chatting! (contact Karen Anderson, 720-733-0501)
-
Watch
for “Play ‘N’ Trade”, coming
October 7, where you will be able to purchase used video
games at 10% off, with 20% of profits going right to ACS!
-
There are
tentative plans for a “uniform store” at
the carnival, so hang on to all those solid polo shirts without
emblems that are too small …and the like.
-
Watch for “Restaurant
Nights” where, on a given
night, the ACS community can enjoy a local eatery at a discount,
and …you guessed it, ACS makes some money.
-
We have great
desire to speak with anyone who knows a thing or two about
sound muffling, or acoustics in general, to better
understand how we could improve our school. (contact Kate
Fischer 303-688-8461)
Many thanks to our volunteers who have signed on to help with the
first breakfast for teachers & staff on Friday, September 30. The
food needs to be delivered to ACS by 7:30 AM please. Contact Jackie
Radcliffe at 303-663-7498 email: Jackie_radcliffe@msn.com if you have
questions. Thanks, again, for supporting the staff!
Today (Sept. 22) is the kickoff for Believe catalog items.
Your student(s) should be coming home with the catalog and
information about the fundraiser in today’s Friday-(well,
Thursday-) folder. We hope you enjoy looking it over, as it
is a more relaxing fundraiser than most.
Golf tournament: October 1st, 1:30, Red Hawk. If you (and
maybe your foursome) have not yet turned in your reservation,
please do so quickly. We have gone beyond our minimum number
required for the event …so it is going to be GREAT! And
it will raise funds for ACS. However, if all the reservations
are turned in right away, we can better plan for an event that’s
going to be REALLY GREAT! Please contact Karen Anderson (720-733-0501)
The campaign for Entertainment- and Gold C-books is in its “wrapping
up” phase. To date, we grossed over $19,000 in sales.
Way to go!! (more details as they are available). Please PLEASE
if you still have a book that you did not sell, give it back
to the ACS office so more of this money grossed will go directly
to net earnings for our school. Also, if you would like to
support the school without purchasing the books, and still
keep us on track for our financial goal, you can donate directly
to the PTO. For this campaign our goal was for each student
to raise $28 in net earnings. The money PTO raises goes to
the school.
Koins for Kids campaign finished yesterday (Sept. 21). The
total earnings are not yet available, but we will let you know
soon. We want to thank all the volunteer parents who really
helped out with this event: Sally Rehmann, Sharon Hunter, Kathy
Hedeen, Susan Trost, Misty O’Leary, Kate Fischer, Karen
Anderson, Katherine Titus, Kate Feldman and most especially
Michael Anderson for his commitment in managing this event.
Thank you to these folks and all the students who sold cards,
which helped to reduce the ACS budget deficit. If you would
like to help us meet our financial goal without participating
in sales, the direct contribution equivalent for this even
is $30 per student.
Carnival will be Saturday, October 29, from 10 AM to 4 PM
and the Castle Rock community is invited!
The carnival plans are underway and most subcommittees
have a chair now; however, we need many hands to make this
event live up to its reputation. Each subcommittee is looking
for parent volunteers to help carry the plans through.
Contact Katherine Titus (katitus@comcast.net,
720-733-2658) or Jessica Herbert (tinkerbuzz42@msn.com,
303-688-4262) so you can help out with all the fun.
Attention all classroom coordinators! Misty O’Leary
is organizing the classroom games, and she needs to hear
from you. Each classroom needs to provide Misty with the
game you are hosting for carnival (by next week) and a
schedule of the parents managing the game (by Sept. 30)
please. (Misty jimandmisty@comcast.net, 303-688-6631.)
Hoping you
have a great weekend,
Victoria Arnett
