On Thursday, November 10th the delicious and generous Famous Dave's (15725 E. Briarwood Circle) is donating back a percent of Dine-In, Takeout & Pick up orders to support a great cause -- Cherry Creek Academy PTO!

On behalf of Cherry Creek Academy PTO you’re invited to join us and eat out, not only in support of the organization, but to show one of your Aurora restaurants some love too!

We ask that you RSVP here: https://grouprai.se/e236207 (even if you’re not completely sure) so Famous Dave's knows roughly how many orders to expect & so you have access to all the event details.

We hope you can make it, and please feel free to forward this invitation to your friends and family. Thanks in advance for your support!

The PTO Hospitality team is getting ready to prepare our wonderful Thanksgiving baskets that we do for the staff every year. Due to Covid, the PTO will be purchasing items and building baskets. We would like to ask if you could please contribute a $5 dollar donation to help make these baskets special. You can send $5 dollars in cash in an envelope to the front office or you are welcome to Venmo Mrs. Sourial, our PTO Hospitality chair at My Venmo @Natalie-Sourial. Thank you in advance for your help making these special for our staff!

The SAC Committee will be putting out their annual survey in January and will need the help of 10 volunteers on January 13, 2023 to help with the Flyer Frenzy.

If you are interested in helping and earning 1 volunteer hour - sign up here. The time is from 2:45-3:45 pm on Friday, January 13, 2023. Thank you in advance for your help!

On Mon. Nov. 7 and Mon. Nov. 14 the Innovation Space will be used for setting up a presentation, so our morning enrichment session will be cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for supporting this fun morning program!

Parents, each year we put together a slideshow video of our 8th graders and show it at graduation. We are asking that you please fill out this form in order to submit a baby/young child photo of your 8th grader and a current photo of them to be shared at graduation. If you have any questions, please contact Rachel Brooks at rbrooks@cherrycreekacademy.org.

We have a bulletin board that needs to be book and winter themed in the lobby that Rachel Brooks could use some help with.

Keep an eye out for a flyer coming home with your children this week from Original Works! Original Works is a great fundraising program for our PTO that places your children's artwork on fun items that make perfect gifts for grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings and friends! Your child will be bringing home a flyer with easy instructions and a unique code to find their special art project. If you do not receive a flyer, your child will be participating in the program in the spring session. Thank you for your support of the Cherry Creek Academy PTO!

Family and Friends of Cherry Creek Academy,

Thank you for your continued support. We are partnering with Boon Supply for our fundraiser. Boon Supply has

something for everyone! Check out their selection of candles, reusable bags, wrapping paper, popcorn, magazines and

bundt cakes! All purchases are delivered to the supporter's home, and the entire process takes no longer than 5-10

minutes. All you need to do is just Register, Send, Share and Shop!

Here is a quick 2-minute video that explains our fundraiser.

All we ask is that you REGISTER, SEND, SHARE, and SHOP (easy as 1, 2, 3!). It only takes minutes and will help our

school’s fundraiser be a success! Go here to get started!

Students that register before November 14th on the Boon Supply site and complete the Boost (adding ten emails of

friends and family to send the fundraiser link to) will get to choose a gift of either TW2 Wireless Ear Buds or a Blue Tooth
