BOOSTERTHON IS TOMORROW!
Have you noticed all of the excitement at drop-offs and pickups? Kids, teachers, and staff have been getting pumped up all week!
Congrats to Ms. Dunn’s class on being the first class to get 100% registration! They won a freezer pop party.
Congrats to Ms. Feinstein’s class for their nightly challenge wins (yes, wins!) with chances to mummify a Boosterthon team member and go on a secret mission!
And congrats to Ms Squire’s class for their nightly challenge win of extra recess!
You guys have been rock stars!!
This year, our school is raising funds for some BIG school ground improvements. Our goal is to raise $20,000, and if you’d like to, we are inviting YOU to help!
We are so close to beating last year’s registration of 93%. If we do, all kids will get a freezer pop after running the obstacle course tomorrow!
Also, if we hit our fundraising goal, kids will get the opportunity to throw colors on BOTH principals!!!
Here’s how you can support Copper Mesa:
- Register on mybooster.com tonight. It’s so easy!
- Share about our fundraiser with your family and friends using the SHARE BUTTON on mybooster.com.
- Give a donation, if you are able.
NOTE: We also still need parent volunteers at the obstacle course to help our event run smoothly and safely for kids, especially at our 9 a.m. race for K-3. If you have availability tomorrow morning, please sign up Here!

Got Pics?
Please share your fun CME moments with our Copper Mesa Yearbook Committee at coppermesayearbook@gmail.com to help us create the most memorable yearbook. We would love to see photos from Boosterthon, Back to School Night Celebration, cool painted Spirit Rocks, or anything else you've captured. Be sure to include your student’s grade and teacher with each submission.
We are able to do so many events and fundraisers for our school because of the wonderful volunteers we have. If you are interested in helping our efforts, please let us know by completing our online form and indicating the areas you would like to help us with this year: Volunteer Form.
Boosterthon Obstacle Course: TOMORROW!
We still need parent volunteers -- especially for the 9 a.m. race for K-3 -- to help monitor each obstacle and assist any children who may need a helping hand or a word of encouragement to keep going.
Upcoming CMEA Events: TBD
We are currently looking for volunteers for Teacher/Staff Appreciation, our Daughter Event, our Son Event, School Beautification, and our Spring Fundraiser. If you would like to volunteer with CMEA in any of these areas, please let us know.
CMEA Shed Cleanup and Organizing: TBD
Do you like labeling? Do you watch videos of people organizing their homes? Are you slightly obsessed with "The Home Edit"? Join us as we dig through years of Copper Mesa history by cleaning up and organizing the CMEA shed! Let us know you're interested and when you have availability.
Milk Caps for Moolah (Super Minimal Obligation!): Ongoing
This volunteer will be responsible for gathering milk caps from the collection bin by the front office when it's full. Once you've picked up the full bag 2-3 times, you coordinate with Longmont Dairy for porch pickup from your home using their redemption form. Longmont Dairy then sends a check to Copper Mesa. How easy is that?! We will provide you with the form and contact info.
Email cmeapto@gmail.com If You Are Interested
Classroom Photos: Ongoing
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.
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).
RENT THE ROCK!
Don’t forget to reserve the Spirit Rock for your special dates! Sign up HERE for the date you need and submit payment through MySchoolBucks or drop off cash/checks at the front office.
**Please remember: Reservations do not begin until 4:00 pm the day prior to your reservation. Rock painting should not begin prior to 4:00 p.m. We appreciate your cooperation.**
MILK CAPS FOR MOOLA
