A Message From the Board

Welcome to the new fiscal year for our organization! We hope your summer is going great and that you are enjoying the warm days surrounded by loved ones. We're thrilled to kick off this new year with some new team members who can't wait to help you make this another amazing school year.

We have a lot of information to share about the numerous events taking place at STEM Lab. Therefore, make sure to read through these newsletters and frequently check the calendar to stay informed. Thank you for being a part of our PTO family, and we look forward to an exciting journey ahead! 43 days left of Summer break! (but who's counting)

NEW This Year: Cultural Appreciation

At STEM Lab, we believe a strong, inclusive school culture thrives when families and educators work together. We value your voice and would love to know how you'd like to be involved in school culture activities and events throughout the year.

Our brand new Cultural Appreciation Coordinator, Vita Malama, has put together a quick, 4-question survey to help us build a diverse and welcoming school community. It only takes 2 minutes to complete!

Company Donor Matching?

💸 Double Your Impact this year with Donor Matching Programs!
Many companies offer donor matching programs where they’ll match charitable donations made by their employees—sometimes dollar for dollar! That means your contribution to STEM Lab could go twice as far at no extra cost to you. 💥 Check with your HR department to see if your company participates in donation matching and how you can submit your request before our fall fundraiser. Every little bit helps! 🙌

PTO Operations Overview
🚨 AN IMPORTANT HEADS UP!!!!! 🚨

At the beginning of August, your account will be marked as “inactive” as we transition to the new school year. Once we receive updated teacher assignments, we’ll send out an email so you can log in and update your information. Your student will automatically roll over to the next grade level—you’ll just need to select their new teacher and update their shirt size for our Super Fun Fall Fundraiser and Event!

And On That Note...

As some of you may have heard, due to safety concerns shared by the City of Northglenn and the Northglenn Fire Department, we are no longer permitted to host a Color Run using color powder. In past incidents across the country and world, the powder has combusted during large events, resulting in serious injuries—and tragically, worse.

Keeping our students, staff, and families safe is always our top priority.

That said… we’ve already met as a board and have an equally fun (and still super colorful!) event in the works for Friday, September 26th—so SAVE THE DATE for our SLIME A PALOOZA! 🎉🌈

Amazon Prime Day!
(Plan ahead, order supplies, help a teacher!)

📣 Prime Day is July 8-11! While you're shopping for your kids' school supplies, please consider picking up a few extra items for our amazing teachers. With budget cuts this year, they could really use our support. Many teachers also have Amazon Wish Lists you can shop from — you can find those here 👉 Teachers Wish Lists. Every little bit helps! 💙 

Teachers: Send me your lists and I will add them to the spread sheet!
