Pikes Peak Prep Ambassadors Introduce Fundraising Campaign

Recently fourteen student were selected as the Ambassadors for Pikes Peak Prep Charter School. These Ambassadors represent the school throughout the community with service projects, speaking engagements and business opportunity tours.  The Ambassadors represent the diverse school population and are viewed as mentors and leaders of Pikes Peak Prep. These students were provided etiquette and public speaking training at The Warehouse Restaurant, private dining room.  Ms. Denise Sutton spent the lunch focusing on etiquette skills that are needed in a professional environment. Our young gentlemen were standing each time our female students needed to leave the table! Everyone learned to always pass to our right and what piece of silver needs to used for each portion of the meal. After lunch, Dawn Dawson (Reflections Advertising) gave our students some valuable advice on public speaking.

Our young Ambassadors were given the opportunity to use their skills at the White Linen Lunch at The Warehouse.  There were about 25 guests from nearby churches, ENT Federal Credit Union, Compass Bank, Urban Peak, Pikes Peak Library District, USOC, Comcast Cable, and others that were entertained by 9th grade Pikes Peak Prep students.  The Ambassadors greeted their guests as they arrived. Six of the Ambassadors spoke why Pikes Peak Prep is so important to their lives.  Lastly, one of our Ambassadors kicked off the fundraiser that these students have decided to focus on this school year, Change for Change. The Pikes Peak Prep Ambassadors decided that they wanted to support families in need that are located in their own school community. 

There are families within the Pikes Peak Prep community that can not afford gas, groceries, medication or even utilities.  Ambassadors are collecting spare change to support these requests. During the White Linen Lunch the Ambassadors received close to $200.00 to fund requests. One of the clergy members from a nearby church will collect money from their congregation every other Sunday using the Change for Change can to help our students and their cause.  The Ambassadors will continue to raise money for their community families and fund these needs throughout the school year.

Please look for the Pikes Peak Prep Ambassadors as they continue to try to make a change in our community! Keep up the good work!
