PTO UPDATE
Monday, September 26, 2016 is Blue Mountain's Spirit Day at Chili's in Longmont.  
This event goes all day, and 15% of generated sales will be donated to our school. (simply mention BMES or present the flyer) This date is also an area wide Chili’s Give Back to Schools Night, which includes a SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE. The Longmont Chili’s has partnered with BMES for this event, and all of the school supplies they collect during the week leading up to and including that date will go to Blue Mountain!  As further incentive, whoever donates school supplies during that time will get a coupon for free chips and salsa.
