Memo for Garden Creek Parents and Guardians
Good
afternoon, Creeker Families:
We
have 2 weeks to go to the holidays – still lots of learning taking place with a
little Christmas cheer thrown in through our concert, some center fun and other
goodies. This week, the students will be finishing up their practices for the
concert in preparation for Tuesday December 17th! HO HO HO!
Icy Roads and Driveway this Morning – so you are
aware, this morning, we placed a call to our snowplow contractor,
asking him to come and place sand down before students arrived. He was not here
in a timely manner. This was unacceptable for both student and overall Creeker
community safety. We followed up with a conversation with him and also
contacted District in hopes for change for the future. Thank you for sharing
your concerns and your support.
Chapter’s Night – Thank you to Amanda Williams and
Hannah Steeves-Carney for raising $1130 through our well attended Chapter’s
Night! The choir was beautiful ( thank you to the students , Mrs. McGregor and
Mr. Briden) and the evening was well attended. Bravo!
Did you Know?? This week,
students composted 17.5 lbs of waste. Way to go! We have another class that has
joined us in the trial, which brings us up to 12 classes.
Milk Orders and Container Recycling – Milk
orders for term 2 are live today on Cashless Schools until December 13th.
As previously mentioned, we plan on sending the containers home
beginning after Christmas in hopes that they will be recycled in
your home bins.
Lego Robotics – A reminder that this is now
finished for the term.
