Newsletter - December 1, 2023

Colorado Gives Day is a special event where all donations are boosted by an incentive pool, helping your dollars go further! It's also when the Polaris PTO raises the majority of its one-time gifts. This year, we are seeking 100% participation from every family! 

Our 2023-24 financial gap is $700 per student, which is higher than ever before. How do we close the gap? Generosity from families like yours. 

We are currently at 28% of our donor goal (with 46 unique donors) and at 18% of our financial goal ($10,985) for the Colorado Gives Day initiative, so there’s still more work to be done!

Know that every donation, at any amount:

• Supports our community
• Benefits our kids
• And is incredibly important.

All donations made through Dec. 5th qualify: https://www.coloradogives.org/story/Polaris-Co-Gives

We cannot do this without you!

Please join us for our next community-wide PTO meeting this Monday, Dec. 4 at 7 p.m. PTO board members and Principal Lopez will provide updates about the school community and our fundraising efforts, including Colorado Gives Day. You can join the Zoom call by clicking here.

Questions for the PTO?  Let us know if you have any questions or comments for the PTO by submitting them on this form, and we'll do our best to address them during Monday's call. Thanks!

Stay and play on the playground every Friday afternoon! This is a great time to socialize with other parents while the kids run off some energy. 

*Parent supervision required, you must pick up your student and then proceed to the playground.
