It's time to hustle!

Move your body and support your school during our first, and hopefully last, socially distant virtual Fit-a-thon fundraiser. Students will be logging their activity minutes from October 26th to November 9th but online donations will be accepted until November 15th.

REGISTER HERE

All funds raised will go towards classroom needs/materials and funding for our awesome TA staff. After you register, make sure you share your page on Facebook and by email. We can’t meet our goal of $25,000 without all of you.

Next year, hopefully we’ll see all of you, including our friends who are learning remotely, in person at the fun run starting line!

Thanks,

Your Dry Creek PTCO

Dry Creek Elementary PTCO is voting YES ON 4A & 4B!

It’s time to invest in more than just our students. Parents know that when they buy a home in the Cherry Creek School District, they’re paying for a school district with a dedication to excellence. Without proper funding, our students will fail to thrive, our school district will lose it’s excellent reputation and our home values will suffer.

Dry Creek Elementary PTCO has officially endorsed the district’s Ballot measures 4A and 4B. Issue 4A supports our excellent teachers and skilled nurses and mental health workers in every school.  Measure 4B, permission to issue bonds, will cover capital costs including safety and technology infrastructure, Innovation dollars for every high school and an expansion at CCIC, a new stand-alone day treatment mental health facility, maintenance projects on school buildings, and more.

For more info, please visit: https://www.citizensforcherrycreekschools.com/

We encourage our neighbors, fellow parents, and all community members to VOTE YES on 4A & 4B.
