Socktober!
To kick off Student Council this year, Aspen will be participating in Socktober. SOCKTOBER is an annual, month-long campaign designed to show people that ordinary acts of love can make a big difference. It can all start with socks. During the month of October we would like to collect new socks for the homeless. If you are interested in contributing new socks for men, women, children and babies, please bring them to Room 10 (Mrs. Birg) or drop them off in the office.

In addition to winning money for Aspen, you can win gift cards for yourself! One lucky Aspen parent won a $500 Walmart gift card and several more have won $25 gift cards!

Screen Recycling
Thank you for all of the screens! We have earned 26,000 extra points! Please keep them coming. Earn 2,000 points per screen for the School Cents Program when you recycle any laptop, monitor, TV or tablet. The date for the recycling event has been postponed so we have some extra time to collect screens! Please drop off items in the box located outside the office and we will take care of everything else! Please email aspenschoolrewards@gmail.com to arrange pick up of larger screens.
School Cents
Holiday gifts? Gift cards? Dinner from one of the restaurants on The Oaks Mall property? The School Cents Program is off to a great start! School Cents is a competition between Aspen and other local schools. Every time you shop or dine at The Oaks Mall from September 1 through April 30, we can earn up to $2,500 for Aspen! Right now they are running their best promotion of the year. Instead of 5 points for every dollar, we now get 50 points for every dollar spent until October 31! To help raise money for Aspen, please drop your Oaks receipts in the new School Cents Box in the office. Or you can visit shoppingpartnership.com/theoaks/ and follow the instructions to submit your receipts. You can also email an image of your receipt to aspenschoolrewards@gmail.com and we will submit it for you.
