Posts: Creeker Memo - Week # 7
10/18/2021 9:17 AM by alex.yaychuk
As we head into week #7, I would
like to remind all that our
‘Halloween at the Creek’ treat drive is ongoing
.
Thank you to all families who have already donated. It has been remarkable to
see such a great response. That being said, we are encouraging more donations up until Tuesday,
October 26th! Here are a few other things to be aware of this
week:
The annual fall bottle drive for ‘Creekers Helping Creekers’ is
this coming Saturday (October 23rd) between 8:30am and
12:00pm. All families are encouraged to bring their
recycled cans/bottles/juice boxes to the school parking lot that morning.
Proceeds go towards supporting GC families in need or in crisis.
This coming week is ‘School Safety week’. Our students will
be involved in several different types of safety drills including: School
bus evacuation drills (during school hours), a lockdown drill, and a fire
drill. Teachers are encouraged to discuss fire prevention and aspects of
emotional safety as well.
We
are asking children to keep their personal toys at home. While some personal items (stuffies for
example) can be a source of comfort for children, other types of toys can
often result in conflict in the classroom, the hallways, and the
playground. If you are not sure about certain items, please check with
your child’s teacher. We are also reminding students that trading cards
are acceptable but should not be seen inside the school or on the school
bus.
Please
ensure that your child has 2 water bottles at school. 1 to be left at the school and the other to
travel with them back home. Lately we have had a number of children ask
the office for plastic cups due to having forgotten their bottle at home.
Similarly, please ensure that your child has 2 masks at school.
1 to be left at the school and the other for traveling on the bus and/or
exiting the building at dismissal time.
Picture re-take day is set for October 28th. Parents
are asked to submit the Harvey’s Picture form indicating the need
for a re-take by tomorrow, October 19th.
Our ‘Trick or Eat’ food drive in partnership with the Greener
Village Food Bank begins next Monday, October 25th.
Here is a flyer detailing the initiative. Big thanks to Mr. Tobin for
organizing this!

Finally, a friendly reminder to have your child dressed for the
weather during these cold mornings. Thank you!
