Principal Message:

Asbury Eagle Families-

We are thrilled to share with you the fantastic news that we have

secured the match of $5000! This would not have been possible without

the generous support of our community, and we are incredibly grateful

for each and every one of you who contributed to this achievement.

However, our work is not done yet, and we still have one week left to

reach our goal of raising $150,000 for next year’s budget. We need

your help to make this happen, and we are asking everyone to consider

donating $500 per student to help us meet the need Asbury has for the

upcoming year.

If you haven’t donated yet, we encourage you to please consider making

a contribution. No amount is too small, and every dollar counts

towards making a difference in the lives of our students. Your

donation will help provide resources and opportunities for our

students to excel and succeed in their education.

If you have already given, but you continue to be inspired by the

amazing community we have at Asbury Elementary, we ask that you please

help us spread the word by sharing our fundraising campaign with

family and friends who may also want to contribute and support our

school.

We are so proud of our Eagles, and we know that with your support, we

can reach our goal and continue to provide the best education possible

for our students. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to

Asbury Elementary School.

Sustainability Acts of Kindess- Coming Soon! 

Asbury Elementary is launching a challenge to grow kindness for our Earth and community.  Part of the project includes planting trees for current and future learners and pollinators to enjoy. 

Why trees? 

Adding trees to Asbury will have so many benefits!

  • Help students learn and care about their planet
  • Reduce noise and air pollution from extremely busy street 
  • Help expand Denver’s tree canopy and reduce the heat dome effect 
  • Additional shaded outdoor learning space   
  • Bob needs friends!
  • Trees bring joy and improve quality of life for humans and nature

We need help!

  • Planning and picking the best trees for our habitat and environment
  • Purcuring and planting

Trees are not only beautiful, but they provide economic, wellness, and environment benefits that only increase over time. A healthy tree canopy provides improved air quality, safer streets, reduced stress, and shade.  Putting in roots now can help connect our current community to the future and make it much brighter and greener.

Can you help? If so, please contact Kelly Bryant at kellybryantsemail@gmail.com
