Collect Items This Week

The Lost and Found cart is currently overflowing! We know the weather is ever changing in Colorado, so please remind your students to bring their jackets and sweatshirts inside from recess. 

The cart has been organized by size and will be on display in the front lobby during Parent Teacher Conferences, as well as on the south playground during the Halloween parade. After that time, your student can find the cart outside of the library for one week. 

On Friday, November 3rd, all remaining items will be donated to an in-district elementary school.

REMINDER: Please please label ALL jackets, sweatshirts, water bottles, lunchboxes, etc. Only 4% of all items recovered this month were labeled! 

Get a Jump on the Holidays!

We are excited to welcome back our Charleston Wrap fundraiser! With over 2,500 gift ideas, including UltraHeavy™ gift wrap, gourmet kitchen essentials, personalized gifts & more, friends and family can help us reach our goal by checking off their holiday shopping list! 

All sales are done online and no door to door sales are needed. Plus, everything ships direct to the consumer! 


Important things to note:

  • The first step is registering your child as a participant! This must happen before any sales can happen.
