Looking for an easy way to do something for our fantastic D38 staff? Check out our teacher wishlists on the Clear the List Facebook page. Many of our teachers have made wishlists on Amazon - all you have to do is find their list on the Facebook page and make a purchase. Please send your package to their school, and include the teacher or department name in the address. So far the response has been fantastic and our teachers truly appreciate everything we do for them. If you do not see your favorite teacher's list, ask them to make one and then send the link to the Facebook page. Happy shopping!

Booster Club, Amazon and King Soopers

The Booster Club is now linked with Amazon Smile and King Soopers. By choosing the Lewis-Palmer High School Athletic Booster Club as your nonprofit of choice, a percentage of your purchase will be donated back to the Booster Club, which then gets passed on to our teams at the end of the school year.

Just search Amazon Smile for our nonprofit, and link your King Soopers card to the Lewis-Palmer High School Athletic Booster Club.

Please contact the Booster Club if you have any questions.
Thank you for supporting our students!
