King Soopers Rewards Program
Do you still have hours to meet your 40? We have an easy way to make some of your hours disappear. You received an email last night on how to make sure your King Soopers rewards card links back to donate 5% of your purchases to our school. Please click here if you want that info. We are offering ANY family one volunteer hour for every $200 you spend, if you have your rewards card linked to AACP PTO! That’s right! You get one hour just for buying your groceries!

Leadership Breakfast and Lunch Committee Chair(s) needed
We are need of someone who would be willing to chair the committee to make sure our leadership award winners get breakfast and lunch. Middle school will get a lunch and elementary school will get breakfast. So, this could be two separate people, or one person! Please email Jodi Losinger if you are interested in coordinating these lunches and breakfasts. There are only two more left this year. One in February and one in May!
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!

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
