Memo for Garden Creek Parents and Guardians
Good afternoon, Creeker families,
December
is coming in very merrily with some not very merry weather – please be
safe on the roads as you enjoy what the season has to offer.
Wreaths and Poinsettias Pick Up Rescheduled Due to the
possible storm day tomorrow, we are rescheduling the pick- up of wreaths,
poinsettias and Christmas cactus. The time on Wednesday will remain the same
11-1, but we will change the Tuesday pickup to Thursday 10-11 and 2-4.
If you have and friends or family who planned on picking up but are not part of
the email list or on our Facebook group please inform them of the changes.
Pick up location is by the music room
Chapter’s Night Rescheduled to this Wednesday
– Due
to the possible storm tomorrow, we are rescheduling Chapter’s Night, including
the performance by our choir, to this coming Wednesday, December 4th.
The choir will perform at 6 pm and the night runs from 6 to 9 pm. 15%
of all sales go directly to our school so please bring your
family and friends out to get some shopping done, support our school and listen
to our beautiful choir!
Angel Tree – Thank you so much to those Creekers who have
supported our Creekers Helping Creekers Angel Tree. All angels and the funds
are due back by this Friday, December 6th so that items can
be purchased. Thank you! HO HO HO!
Did you Know?? Composting
has started in ten classes.! Food scraps are being collected and transferred to
a larger outdoor compost bin on a daily basis . The bin will be picked up at
the end of each week by a local composter. Each month ,pick-ups
will cost $30 and every 5 weeks a new package of large compost bags
will be needed ( $10.00) . If you or your
organization would like to sponsor a month, please let us know! A tax receipt
can be issued for sponsorship above $25.00 Exciting adventures
are in the making as we move along the Eco-school route and being greener.
Milk Orders and Container Recycling – As
previously mentioned, our milk containers cannot be recycled at school and this
has a huge consequence in trying to be more environmentally aware in our school
community. If you plan on ordering milk for your child the second term, please
note we plan on sending
the containers home in hopes that they will be recycled in your
home bins. Milk orders can be placed starting on December 9th
on Cashless schools
