AAPTO-CP September News

 

Chipotle Lone Tree Restaurant Night – October 16^th

Our next restaurant night will be at Chipotle in Lone Tree.  Who doesn’t want an easy night of NO cooking!?  We will earn 33% of the sales between the hours of 4pm-8pm! All you have to do is print out the brochure by clicking here, show it on your phone or just make mention you are with American Academy.  It’s that easy to help the school. The address is 9500 Heritage Hills Cir #700. We hope to see you there.

 

We are also in need of someone who could place signs the day before restaurant nights and also the day of restaurant nights and then take them down.  This would be easy for someone who lives close to the school.  The signs are small and easy to store.  If you are interested, please contact Christy Williams at ptocpsecretary@aak8.org.

 

Teacher Appreciation Luncheon – October 18^th

Opa! For the October luncheon, let's show our teachers and staff how much we appreciate them Greek style! Our second teacher/staff appreciation luncheon will be a Mediterranean theme!  Please click here to select an item to bring to the school for this much appreciated event.

 

Please drop off all of the items at the front office by 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, October 18, 2018. If you are unable to attend the event or can't bring your items, please delete your name from the sign up page so we can get your spot filled. 

 

If you have any questions please contact Christi Granato-Dexter.

 

Please remember to enter your volunteer hour(s). If you are buying something for the luncheon, please remember to count the time it took you to go shopping.  If you are baking something for the event, count your shopping and baking time.
