NEW: Parent Volunteer Committee Meeting
The Parent Volunteer Committee will meet on Tuesday, October 27 at 2pm at Draper 2. One of the agenda items is the Holiday Giving Campaign. We ran this campaign last year at Draper 2 and Draper 3, and this year we are adding Draper 1. This program gives parents the opportunity to purchase points for teachers and staff that can be pooled together to “purchase” bigger ticket items from an online store. If you are willing to help with the campaign or you have ideas on how we can improve it, please plan on attending the meeting. We will begin promoting it at the beginning of November. For more information, please go to https://www.americanprepfoundation.org/apef- parent-committee.
NEW: 2020 Veteran’s Day Celebration
American Prep was founded on the belief that America’s schools bear the responsibility to teach our children about the liberties that they enjoy and the sacrifices made to ensure those liberties. We know that our freedom is not free, but has been earned by the men and women who have served our country, and committed their lives to preserving our freedom. Our American Prep community is truly thankful for our service men and women and their sacrifice.

FSO Volunteer Info (Family & School Organization)
We are looking for volunteers and donations. Volunteering is a great opportunity to get involved
and give back to our amazing school and staff. Here are what we are looking for.
Parent Teacher Conference dinner/ lunch for Teachers
Note: We still have more spots on the Sign-up Genius to participate...This year we are changing it up. We will be ordering from Zuppas for dinner and providing snacks for breakfast/ lunch for Teachers. Volunteers will be needed to help deliver food to the teachers and to also provide donations for the meal. Donations will be individually wrapped or packages. Additionally, families can donate gift cards to Sams Club, Costco, or Zuppas and we can purchase items needed for the meals. The signup genius will have opportunities for both volunteers and donations. Monetary donations count for volunteer hours as well ( $10=1 hour of volunteering).
Food Donations can start coming to school October 19th. Here is the link to sign up.
