Online Silent AUCTION

Our Spring Online Auction is coming up April 13th-20th! The auction is our only spring fundraiser, and will fund several important projects. Last year we raised money for four water filling stations! This year we are raising money to purchase two more water filling stations, cover the cost of maintaining and purchasing filters for all the water stations, and purchase items from the teacher wish list.

There are three ways to help us get ready for the auction:

We need your help collecting donations for the auction! Here's a few ideas:

· Ask your favorite salon, spa, brewery, or restaurant to donate a package or gift card.

· Do you own a business? Donate items or services from your business!

· Do you have season tickets to a sporting event? Donate tickets for an event!

· Do you have a time share or vacation home you could share?

2. Each grade is also working together to donate items for a themed gift basket.

See the full list of class themes here.

Even small items will help us create great gift baskets.

3. We are in need of someone with a good camera and a little time to volunteer to take pictures of all the items to be listed in the auction. If you can help with this, please email toniarae@gmail.com

Please bring all donations to the office. Thank you!

You be the judge!

TPCA's Odyssey of the Mind teams are in need of a few parent volunteers to help with judging for upcoming tournaments. Training is provided! This is a great chance to check out Odyssey of the Mind for families interested in participating next year, or those just looking for a fun volunteer opportunity. Head over to the OM page for all the info.

Don't forget to enter your volunteer hours to help us keep a yearly total and for a chance to win prizes!

A written record of our volunteer participation may help us to receive grants. By taking time to enter your hours, you may be helping even more!

Upcoming EVENTS

Smart-E Pants

Friday, March 13th is the next Smart-E Pants Day! Students bring $1 to wear pants or skirt of your choice, with a uniform top. These $1 donations go towards technology upgrades for our classrooms!

*Elementary can wear any kind of pants, shorts, or skirt (no sweats or pj pants); middle school can wear any denim shorts, pants or skirts.

Skirts and shorts must still come to the students finger tips with arms at their side.

Annual EVENTS

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK

May 2020

Help us thank our outstanding teachers and staff!

Wish List

Many of our teachers have notified us of items they could really use, which are currently above and beyond our PTO budget. Rather than let these needs go unmet, we'd like to make them available for TPCA families to fulfill on an ongoing basis. The Amazon list will be updated as needs arise throughout the year. Some are very small and others may be larger amounts. Visit the wish list to view the wishes and purchase items.

View Teacher Favorites

We love our Teachers!

The PTO strives to make our teachers and staff feel loved and appreciated in many ways througout the year. We know parents may also like to show their appreciation with something special on a holiday, birthday or teacher appreciation week, so we have compiled a list of your teacher's favorites! Just click the button and scroll left to right to find your child's teacher.

Ongoing Fundraisers

New Rewards Program

We are excited to announce that we now have an awards program set up with American Furniture Warehouse. Your purchases will now benefit our school, when you mention Twin Peaks Charter Academy at your next furniture purchase! Please be sure to spread the word to friends and family as well.

Bring your Longmont Dairy milk caps to the school offices so we can earn money for our school!

King Soopers Rewards Program

PTO FAQ

How do I get involved?

There's something for everyone! Every parent can and should have a hand in making this a great year for all our students. Sign up to receive email updates, join the parent Facebook group, click on a sign-up link above, attend a monthly meeting, or email us for more info or to share your ideas.

What are the funds used for?

With the funds we raise, the PTO is able to provide free events throughout the year to promote school community. Additionally, money raised through the Trot and Silent Auction cover the cost of field trip transportation and help us reimburse teachers for some classroom supplies. We also use funds raised for special projects, like water bottle filling stations, playground shade, or a new piano for the music room.

Why should I track my volunteer hours?

All volunteers will be entered in a monthly drawing for a gift card or special parking spot! We also like to show how involved our parents and guardians are in our school, and a written record of volunteer time and involvement is important to have when we are applying for educational and non-profit grants. Your hours are not published and are only used for these purposes. Thank you for taking time to log them!
