Atlas Elementary’s Fun Run Fundraiser was a huge success! 🎉
Our amazing students ran with heart to raise money for our school, and families joined right in on the fun! Parents ran alongside their children, while our high school students brought the cheers and energy to keep everyone going strong! 🙌
Every dollar raised goes right back into our community, funding exciting field trips, assemblies, classroom supplies, teacher resources, and schoolwide programs that inspire learning and leadership.

Local Resources Available During Government Shutdown
Dear Atlas Families,
As we continue to be impacted by the federal government shutdown, we want you to be aware of the services available to you to support you during this time.
Pikes Peak United Way's Family Success Center, located at 1520 Verde Dr., is a one-stop hub to help families thrive that houses over 17 different on-site partners.
Pikes Peak United Way's 2-1-1 service helps connect furloughed federal employees, government contractors, or anyone else affected by the shutdown with resources for food pantries, utility assistance, and other social services. Specialists provide information and referrals for a wide range of needs, including health care, mental health services, job training, and crisis resources. Simply dial "2-1-1" from your phone to be immediately connected.
Atlas's Food Pantry will be open on Fridays from 3-4pm. Our food pantry is located on the back side of our middle school and is open to anyone in the community, including you.
FeedingColorado.org/find-food allows you to locate food pantries in your area.
Sincerely,
Atlas Schools

This year, Atlas will participate for the first time in the Colorado Springs Festival of Lights, and we need your support! We’re looking for a trailer for December 6 (and two days before). If anyone can lend us a trailer that we can decorate to use for our float, it would be a huge help! There will be more opportunities to volunteer on the day of the parade, but for now, we just need a trailer. Please email communications@atlasprep.org if you have one. Thank you!
Getting our students to and from school safely each day takes a true team effort, and we couldn’t do it without our amazing Transportation Team! 🚌💛
From our bus drivers and monitors to our dedicated crossing guards, you ensure safety, care, and connection for every student, every ride, every crossing. Thank you for being the first hello and last goodbye in our students’ school day!
