Thursday, February 16 is the Chick-fil-A day! All patrons of Chick-fil-A
on Founders Parkway who mention they are part of ACS will earn
money for our school. This is true for ANY TIME Thursday Feb. 16
(breakfast,
lunch or dinner) and even using the drive-thru service. Best of
all, this year they are offering more generous splits above the
standard 10% based on the ACS generated sales. Please take advantage
of this easy fundraiser to help the school, enjoy some good food
and friends, and hopefully make your life easier as well. Just
be sure to MENTION YOU ARE FROM ACS!! Enjoy!
Mark your calendars for March 16th, March 17th,
March 20th and March 21st! Classroom baskets will be on display
for bidding on these days. Please check your Friday Folders
for reminders of this exciting event. Attend the March
21st PTO General Meeting and continue bidding until 6:30pm,
when the bidding will end and the PTO Meeting will begin.
After the meeting, basket winners will be announced, but
you do not have to be present to win!
REMEMBER, the PTO
will add surprise gifts from Theatre of Dreams, Karate
for Kids, Danza Dance Academy and Art
Explorers to random baskets, as an added incentive. Please
contact your classroom coordinators if you have any questions
about your class basket.
If you can volunteer during the
displaying and bidding of the baskets, please contact
Julie Harkin at 303-663-4839

The Believe Spring Catalog campaign starts today (Friday,
Feb. 10). These are all new items for spring and also Festival
of Foods items. The campaign closes February 24 so that
all ordered items can be delivered before the spring break.
We're still looking for a few good chefs to make the Feb
24th PTO breakfast complete. This is a great way to get
volunteer hours! The food needs to be at school by 7:30
next Friday morning, and non-perishables can be dropped
off the afternoon before. If you can help out, please call
Jackie Radcliffe at 303-663-7498, or email her at jackie_radcliffe@msn.com Thanks!
