Link your King Soopers Card to SVdP!
We earn over $10,000 a year from King Soopers rewards card participation. That amount is based only on the NUMBER of people who have registered SVDP as their charity of choice with King Soopers – NOT the amount of the purchase made. We can still increase that amount! If you have not already designated SVDP Parish and School as your charity of choice, it’s not too late. Please click here for the attached instructions.
Even if you are not a regular King Soopers shopper, your participation is desired. Remember, the amount given to the school is based on NUMBER of users. We appreciate everyone who is already actively participating!
School Advisory Council (SAC) – Strategic Plan Survey
The next step in the Strategic Planning Process is to distribute an electronic survey to the entire community, which will invite you to force rank your priorities for school focus and improvement over the next 1-5 years. Look for the survey link in your inbox on February 19th. Both parents in a household are invited to complete the survey. The content of the survey derives from the inputs of nearly 10 focus groups brainstorming / analyzing school needs over seven different categories. Please note that your input is extremely important in forging a path in the coming years; thank you for taking time to complete it.
