As we enter the final days of our fundraising campaign, we reflect on the incredible support from our school community. Partnered with the Colorado Gives Foundation, the Friends of Cory Annual Giving Campaign aims to raise $65,000 by CO Gives Day, December 9th. These vital funds will directly support our teachers' salaries and enrich student programs.
Can you help us reach our goal? Your contribution will make Cory Elementary an even better place for our children to learn and thrive.
Staff Holiday Fund
As we enter the holiday season, we would like to take a moment to recognize and appreciate the incredible staff who support our students every day. In addition to the classroom teacher collections that happen at the individual class level, we are organizing a Schoolwide Staff Holiday Fund to ensure all staff members feel the gratitude of our community.
This fund will be shared equally among all Cory staff who are not included in classroom-specific collections—including support staff, specials teachers, office staff, paraeducators, custodial staff, and others who make our school a warm, safe, and inspiring place.
If you would like to contribute, any amount is appreciated. Your generosity helps us acknowledge the many people who work behind the scenes to support our students and keep our school thriving.
Thank you for helping us show the entire Cory team how much they are valued. Contributions will be collected through Tuesday, December 16th, 2025. You can Venmo the Cory PTA at @Cory_PTA (please note Staff Fund), or drop off checks or cash at the front office in an envelope labeled “Staff Fund.”
Wishing you all a joyful and peaceful holiday season.
Thank you for your continued support and kindness.
