Our mission is to serve the school community and promote open communication and understanding between parents and staff at Flagstaff Academy.
We carry out this mission by organizing events that provide a sense of community, by providing educational outreach and experiences, and by fundraising to support supplemental education and materials. We hope you will join us in this mission to create the best Flagstaff Academy possible. |
A YEAR IN REVIEW
Our fundraising efforts include: AmazonSmile (ended mid 2023), Box Tops for Education, King Soopers Community Rewards, Milk Caps for Moola, Dining for Dragons (restaurant nights), Dragon Dash and donations from our generous Dragon families. Thanks to you, we have raised close to $150,000 for the 2023-2024 school year!
Allocation to the School: Every year we allocate $65,000 to help offset the school's operating expenses. This covers general expenses, minimizing staff layoffs, Professional Development support, technology support and Chromebooks, and basic classroom needs.
Community Building Events: The PTO was excited to bring back community building events this school year! We’ve hosted park playdates, a summer picnic, two Back to School Pool Parties, and a first day of Kindergarten Boo-hoo/Yahoo Breakfast. We were also able to host our popular Fall Festival, our yearly Dragon WinterLights event. We were able to schedule a Coffee Truck for a fun treat for staff and families. We teamed up with The Write Stuffto offer school supplies to be delivered to the school in August, so parents could have an easier summer. We also planned an End of the Year Picnic.
Hospitality: Our amazing hospitality team was able to celebrate our staff each month. Not only were we able to fund an entire year’s worth of coffee, we provided a back to school staff survival station, catered conference dinners, created a harvest table where staff were able to bring home fresh produce, and supplied a plate of holiday goodies and gift cards for every staff member in the month of December. In the new year, we provided food during an in-service day, catered dinner for conferences in the Spring and managed all of the amazing gifts for Teacher Appreciation Week, including the popular Love Notes.
Dragon Spectrum: We continued financing the Dragon Spectrum, our in house student-produced newspaper.
Teacher Grants: Your donations helped the PTO provide over $20,000 towards the Teacher Grants program. With this money, we provided teachers with stem games for choice time, Gifted & Talented games, stocked our snack pantry for kids who didn't bring any that day, Minecraft EDU for the Elem Tech Lab, Headsets & storage cart for MS language students, learning-through-play games.
Middle School: Thanks to your generosity, our middle schools team was able to host a Halloween Party, a Winter Holiday Party, a students vs staff Dodgeball Game, a Spring Dance as well as an End of the Year celebration.
Room Parents: We provided at least one room parent in every class to assist all of our Elementary and Preschool teachers.
Dragon Wellness: Our Dragon Wellness team hosted the Great Candy Bring Back. Your donations went to funding the prizes given to the classrooms who won by bringing the most candy back to school!
Spirit Wear: The PTO funds Spirit Wear so our Dragons can represent our school in style! The partnership with our new vendor brought in some amazing new items.
Other: In addition to all of the above categories, the PTO was able to continue with our upgraded PTO communications platform, and each teacher received 10% of what their classroom earned from the Dragon Dash to spend within the classroom.
On behalf of the PTO, thank you for your generosity, time, and your commitment to our school!
