NEW KING SOOPERS REWARDS PROGRAM!
Hopefully you all saw the announcement regarding the new King Soopers reward program. The money that comes in from the King Soopers cards is VITAL to the PTO budget each and every year. So, in order to get everyone linking their cards to AACP, we are going to give every person who links their card 1 volunteer hour. That’s right, something that will take 5 minutes of time will get you 1 hour of volunteer time. And, if you take a snapshot of your card linked to AACP (under “My Account” and then “Community Rewards”) and send it to ptocp@aak8.org, we will enter you into a drawing for a $100 gift card to King Soopers. For every 50 entries we get, we will add another $100 gift card to the drawing. Please go to the PTO website (click here) for the instructions how to link your cards. Anyone who has linked their card, whether today or two weeks ago, can enter for the gift cards. We will be announcing a winner soon!
Rebel Service Club
Our Rebel Service Club will be collecting our unwanted backpacks and school supplies at the end of this year. They will be helping both kids in our school and others in DCSD that are in need of supplies. We will send out more info on how you can donate and where to bring your items.
Collecting Markers
We will be collecting markers at the end of the year to help the environment. Crayola has a program where you can give all dried out markers to them so they don’t end up in a landfill. We hope to make this a monthly or bi-monthly occurrence but for this year, we will be collecting in May. More information to come.
Box Tops
Please continue to collect box tops and Longmont Dairy. Thank you for collecting them for our school. We are counting to see where we stand. We will let your know as soon as we have the winners!
Mabel’s Labels Scrip
The lost and found is already piling high, so please label your child’s belongings. We have created an account on Mabel’s Labels, so for any of you who love to use these on everything our kids lose, look for American Academy Castle Pines or click here to shop. Similar to our restaurant nights, we receive a percentage of all sales.
American Furniture Warehouse
We sent home a flyer today from American Furniture Warehouse. We recently have partnered with them. Next time you shop at AFW, you can let them know AA is your school and they will give 2%-4% back to AA Castle Pines! If you didn’t receive the flyer, you can click here to get it!
