Welcome to the Aspen Parent Faculty Association

Welcome
The mission of the Aspen Elementary PFA is to assist in making our children’s educational experience the best it can be by creating an atmosphere of community, family volunteerism and teacher/parent communication, through funding that will augment a fully rounded learning experience while inviting all people in our community to be an active part of the learning experience
Please look for all the great events planned for the 2023-2024 school year below.
For questions or more information, you can contact the PFA at: AspenRoadrunnersPFA@gmail.comSupport Our School
"Support Our School" donations help the PFA pay the salaries of Aspen's P.E., Dance, and Art Specialists, as well as instructional support staff. In addition, a portion of the funds received go to the individual classroom instruction funds used by our teachers to purchase classroom supplies. With the generous donation of Aspen supporters in the past few years we were able to purchase hydration stations and marquee, IDEA Lab and mic system for the MPR.
To submit your donation, click HERE to download and print the form. Completed forms should be submitted to the Aspen Front Office. Or you can directly contribute online by filling out this form and/or visiting our web store.

Box Tops for Education
Collecting Box Tops has never been easier! Download the Box Tops for Education Mobile App to your smartphone, purchase products that have the Box Tops for Education label, and scan your grocery receipt using the app within 14 days. If your products still have the traditional clippable label, clip them and bring them to the school office. Every valid BoxTop will earn Aspen $0.10.

School Cents
The School Cents competition is back at The Oaks mall!! Shop or dine at The Oaks and help Aspen earn a Visa gift card valued between $500-$2500. Some online orders and third-party purchases (i.e. Fandango, UberEats, Postmates, etc.) may earn points but are subject to the terms on the School Cents website. Aspen earns at least five points per dollar spent. In addition, the school with the most dollars logged each month gets a $200 bonus! We are competing with other local schools for a chance to win. The competition runs between September 1, 2023 and April 30, 2024. Go to www.shoppingpartnership.com/theoaks/ and follow the instructions to submit your receipts.
