CMEA Weekly News
October 26th, 2023
Welcome back!
We want to extend special thanks to those of you who showed up to the 5A/5B car painting event on your last day of Fall Break! We ended up painting at least 20-25 cars! Now it's time to REALLY show our support by voting!!
DEADLINE EXTENDED: Last Call for Our Grounds Improvement Survey!
We've decided to keep our survey open a little longer, to ensure we get as much parent feedback as possible. If you haven't already, please take this opportunity to provide your input. The top 3 selections will be discussed at our next PTO meeting on November 7th.
Info on improvement selections: Potential CME Improvements

Kona Ice After School This Friday

It's Friday. Who wouldn't want a little Kona Ice treat before kicking off Halloween weekend -- and maybe our first measurable snow of the season? We know some kids who don't care how cold it is outside, and we bet you do, too!
A portion of all proceeds will be donated back to CMEA.
Thanks for your support!
Spirit MONTH! Krispy Kreme Donuts!
Charitable (so guilt-free), fresh to order (and perfectly glazed) dozens!!
Throughout THE ENTIRE MONTH OF NOVEMBER, more than 50% of orders will be donated back to CME when you purchase your doughnuts using our fundraising sales page! That's more than $7.50 per dozen coming straight to CME!!
Man, what a way to say "Thanks," amiright? (wink wink)

Our First All Pro Dad's Breakfast Is Coming Up!
Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students): Ongoing
Watch D.O.G.S. is a program that gives dads the opportunity to spend either a half or whole day in the building with their children. You will help in classrooms and go to lunch and recess with your child.
The purpose of the program:
- To provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is essential.
- To provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying. All dads are encouraged to be a Watch D.O.G.S. Dad at least once a year.
Upcoming CMEA Events: Ongoing
We are always looking for volunteers for Teacher/Staff Appreciation, our Daughter Event, our Son Event, School Beautification, our Spring Fundraiser, etc. If you would like to volunteer with CMEA in any way, please let us know.
COPPER MESA YEARBOOK
Help us create a memorable yearbook by sharing your pictures with our yearbook committee. This can be at school events, the Spirit Rock, class parties, class field trips, school clubs, etc. Please email photos to coppermesayearbook@gmail.com and include your child’s name and teacher.
KING SOOPERS CARDS
One of our biggest and easiest fundraisers has proven to be King Soopers Cards. In just over a year, our total donation received is typically in excess of $15,000. If you haven’t registered your rewards number (phone number) yet, please do so. It’s quick and easy and a great way to earn funds for our school. This money helps us to pay for teacher and school grants and host some of our events.
- Visit kingsooperscommunityrewards.com.
- Sign in or register with your King Soopers card or phone number.
- Click on Enroll.
- Search by school code (AB638) or organization name (Copper Mesa Elementary School - CMEA).
