PAC Update: Parent Volunteers Needed

Hello, Colorado SKIES Academy community!

As mentioned last week, your PAC team is starting the hard work to influence the delivery and outcomes of school life while also enriching and building a greater sense of community and we are excited to share what we’ve been up to. We are in desperate need of more parent volunteers. If anyone has any free time at all, we could really use some help to make the school even better for our kids. Please email pac@coloradoskiesacademy.org if you can help, even just for one event!

A parent has graciously offered to lead and assist CSA in setting up a Learner Advisory Council so be on the lookout in the coming weeks for more information, and if you’re interested in assisting with the council, please let us know!

Below are the ideas and topics that PAC is working on. Please let us know if you are able to assist with any of them. The CSA staff and, more importantly, our CSA learners really appreciate any assistance provided!

Chili Cook-Off: Ticketed event for chili cook-off along with a bake sale. An initial thought is to have this in March during March Madness.

Game Night: Family board games get together at CSA with food and beverages for sale and bring everyone together! Set up in the Village with Poker, Uno, sorry, trouble, and just small, simple games. BYOBG and join the fun!

Epic Yard Sale: Flyers distributed around the community for an EPIC INDOOR Yard Sale at the school. Everyone brings and sells their own “treasures”. It’s a great way for kids to help sell stuff, school to raise money, and show off our school to the community! We were thinking of spring cleaning time, but we could have it whenever really.

Talent Show: Let’s show off our kids! Having a talent show would raise confidence, and we could see some cool ideas from the kids. The Learner Advisory Council will hopefully take over this idea.

Change Wars: Each squadron would get its own Jar and have a competition for the most change for a duration (could be a month or even a couple of weeks). Pizza or donut party, maybe? Thinking about the January timeframe.

Movie / Astronomy Nights: Projector area with food trucks. Possibly May.

Valentine’s Day: Telegrams, candy grams, heart butter braids – I would like the learner advisory council to take this over.

Staff Appreciation: Need volunteers to help Jan-May to bring lunch for the staff.
