NEXT PAC MEETING

The next PAC meeting will be Monday February 3, 2025 at 5:15p in the Media Center (Library) at CMS. All are welcome to attend and we hope to see you there.

HELP RAISE MONEY FOR CMS and our PAC!
Columbine Middle School's Parent Advisory Committee funds school projects like our PBIS store where students get tickets for good behaviors and then they spend the tickets in the store and nets for our soccer goals that are a new addition to CMS. One way that they fundraise is through City Market Rewards, where you connect your account, and they send a percentage of your purchases to the organization. 

To get signed up, you will need to go to your City Market account, in the app or online. Once you sign in, go to "My Account" and click on Community Rewards. Search for Columbine Middle School PAC and choose it as your organization to donate to. 
Thanks for the help for the PAC!
