STOP! 
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY FOOD PACKAGING...

Make sure to save those box tops for the winter collection date. Box tops will be collected again on Friday, March 8th 
 
Check your cereal boxes, ziplock bag boxes, butter packaging, fruit snacks, etc. for the Box Top logo. We'll take them any way that you can send them in, but if you or your children have time to trim around the box tops, that saves our box top crew some time.  If you have any questions, please email the PTO at coppercreekpto@gmail.com.  
 
We've extended the deadline!
Don't miss your chance!
It's Time for 5th Grade Yearbook Dedications!

We are currently accepting donations for our Silent Auction. We DO NOT want you to purchase something to donate, however, if you own a business or know someone who does, please ask them to donate to your child's Silent Auction.

It's very easy to ask for a gift card or basket from places we regularly go.  
We are also in need of bigger items too, including: Vacation Home rentals, Hotel packages, Birthday Party packages, Sporting Event Tickets, Memorabilia, etc.

For those of you who have a talent to share, you could donate your time, for example: music lessons, sewing lessons, swimming lessons, art classes, landscaping.

If you know of anyone who would be willing to donate any of these items please let them know about our auction.

  Auction Procurement letters and   Donor forms can be found in using these links, in the school office, or on the PTO website   www.coppercreekpto.com,   
or you can email Valerie Crawford at uarnval@yahoo.com

All donations are due by March 22nd to be listed in the Auction Catalog, however donations will be accepted until March 27th
