Apple Campaign 2017-18
We want to thank each and every one of you who have donated big or small to the Apple Campaign. We currently have received $67,000
in donations! We are only $3,000 short of our $70,000 goal. If you haven't already donated, will you please consider a donation before November 10th so we can meet our goal? Remember that this campaign helps us keep our amazing teachers and smaller class sizes than any other Denver Public School. We couldn't do it without family participation.
Second grade is pulling ahead. Which grade will become an Apple All-Star and enjoy a party?
You can donate online HERE
or drop a check made out to UPark PTA in the front office. Thank you.

We had a great turnout for the before school running program. Super fantastic to see so many energetic runners each morning! Thank you to all the parent volunteers who helped out each morning. Our younger grades were running to collect fun charms, and the upper grades competed for prizes, and a class parfait party.
Congrats to the top runners and the class winner!!
- Top 3rd grade runner - Emery Boyle (ran over 3 miles for the week).
- Top 4th/5th grade runners: Jaymes Keenan (ran over 10 miles for the week) and Augie Reichert, Jack Billingsley and Ryder O'Keefe (all ran over 4 miles for the week.)

Crayola ColorCycle
Dear Parents,
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 program devised to turn used markers into energy!
All around University Park students and teachers will be collecting used markers that are ready to be discarded. The markers will be sent to a facility where they will be 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!
Sincerely,
Chase Cestra - 5th grade
Mateo Gochman Moreno - 5th grade
Sohpia Caple - 5th grade
Nona Slevin - 4th grade
Luke Combs - 4th grade
