Memo for Garden Creek Parents and Guardians
Good
afternoon, Creeker Families
We
are certainly “falling” into learning at the Creek with 4 weeks already
complete of our new school year!
A
few items for you:
Safety
issue :
Exiting
the school driveway
– Our crossing guard, Ann Draper, is phenomenal – she is caring, positive
and takes her work seriously to ensure your children are safe when crossing the
road to the school and home. Please help her out by remembering to NOT turn
right until anyone who is in the crosswalk is across the street or Ann is back
at her post.
Warm
clothing – It
can be a bit chilly now on our playground. You may want to consider sending
your child with a pair of mitts for those colder days.
PSSC
- We
still have a couple of spots open on our Parent School Support Committee.
Meetings take place virtually on the 4th Tuesday of the month at
6:30 pm. Our next meeting is October 27th. If you would be
interested in being part of the committee, please contact the school 453-5409
or email me at katherine.campbell@nbed.nb.ca Thank you
to our parents who have signed on again or are new to the committee.
Home
and School Meeting – We
will soon be having our first Home and School Meeting and will be trying this
virtually on TEAMS. More to come, but we are looking potentially at having this
on Tuesday the 20th of October at 6:30 pm. If you would like to
join, please contact me ( as above) so that I can add you to the TEAMS invite.
Outdoor Learning ! Are
there any parents interested in becoming part of our outdoor learning
community? Would you be willing to help develop and groom our forest
trail, help make or bring in seating for the forest, help in the outdoor school
garden? These are just ideas as we develop our plan and see what interest there
is.If you are interested in helping then please reach out to Emily Greenwell ( emily.greenwell@nbed.nb.ca ) or Alex
McLeod ( alex.mcleod@nbed.nb.ca)
