UPark Crayola ColorCycle Program
We're excited to tell you about a very special program we are coordinating at our school in conjunction with Crayola. It's called Crayola ColorCycle - an amazing new program devised to turn used markers into energy!
All around University Park students and teachers will collect used markers that are ready to be discarded. The markers are then sent to a facility and converted into clean fuel. This fuel can be used to power vehicles, heat homes, cook meals and more!
Please help support our efforts by sending your kids in with any used markers you may have around the house - even non-Crayola brands. Drop-off bags will be located around the school for your child to deposit the markers.
Thank you in advance for participating! With the help of parents like you across the country, the Crayola ColorCycle program can keep tons of plastic out of landfills each year.
Remember, don't throw out that used marker-ColorCycle it! Learn more at http://www.crayola.com/colorcycle.
Sincerely,
Evan Petrucelli - 5th Grade

How Denver Schools Get and Spend Money
Every school year, our school leaders and educators have the incredible mission of guiding students toward success. Just as we know every student and school community is unique, every school's budget looks a little different, too.
Denver Public Schools have the freedom to craft budgets and programs in a way they see best for their unique community.
So, how do schools get money -- and spend money -- in DPS? Put simply: Money follows students, no matter which school they attend.
