Calling all Volunteers!

Did you know, when a parent fills a volunteer slot, this gives our teachers a much needed break to do paperwork, respond to emails, or eat their lunch. Please consider finding an hour to help fill the volunteer openings. We have dwindled down just a few dedicated volunteers per week!

Also, if your child walks or rides to school, you are particularly aware of how important it is to have an adult help them safely cross the street. Let's motivate to help our kids and teachers this January!

Open Volunteer Slots:

Elementary Lunchroom Assistant - 1 daily

Recess Supervision- 1 daily

Crossing Guard: Wednesday - Friday 

PTA Programs Spotlight

Afterschool Programming

Our PTA takes great pride in supporting the Afterschool, Wednesday Workshop, and Enrichment programs at our school, which offer wonderful opportunities for our students. The CBCS Enrichment Program aims to enhance our students' experiences by providing a diverse range of artistic, cultural, and educational activities that complement the standard academic curriculum. This program organizes and funds artist-in-residence initiatives, workshops, performances, and after-school clubs, all of which are accessible to every student.

Through these collective efforts, the CBCS Enrichment Program not only nurtures the talents of young learners but also strengthens the bonds within the community, making education a shared and joyous endeavor for everyone involved.

Thank you to our sponsors who help to make these programs possible. And thank you our local leaders who foster these learning experiences for our students. 

Alley Loop - Saturday Feb. 1st

The Alley Loop is not your typical Nordic Marathon. It is both a premier American Birkebeiner Qualifying event and Crested Butte’s most outrageous costume party of the year! The course winds through snowy streets, alleyways, and narrow bridges through the heart of downtown Crested Butte. Distances range from 1.5K to 42K races.

If you like normal, you may want to look for another race. If you are up for anything… this is right up your alley!

Wigs & Onesies Success!

Thank you to all who joined us at the "Wigs & Onesies" bash. What a fun night full of unforgettable moments! If we didn't get to see your fabulous face this time, we can’t wait to party with you next year! 

Thanks to our amazing auction, generous sponsors, and ticket sales, we raised more than $70,000 for the Crested Butte Community School PTA! To learn more about where the money goes, check out our website What We Fund.
