Milk caps for Moo-La
Bring your Longmont Dairy milk caps to the school offices so we can earn money for our school!
King Soopers Rewards Program
If you have a King Soopers loyalty card you can earn money for our TPCA teacher's appreciation fund every time you shop. You no longer need to load a gift card to support the school, you only need a "Sooper Card."
It's Sooper easy! Take 5 seconds to start earning money for Twin Peaks:
Login to your account at kingsoopers.com or citymarket.com.
Click on "Community Rewards" and type in HX413 (or search for Twin Peaks Charter Academy)
Click enroll. Done!
The best part of the new program is that you can watch your donations to the school add up. King Sooper's donates 5% of your purchases every time you scan your loyalty card! Thank you for supporting TPCA while you shop!

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. Follow the TPCA PTO Facebook page, 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!
