PTA Committee News – Opportunities Abound

It’s time to start planning for the Duke games again. Since they have a new football coach and everyone is hopeful they will do well there are 7 home games this year. The first 3 games are coming up soon. If you can participate in any of the following games please contact me or email Farzad directly.

Spirit Nights - Mark your calendars now for Tuesday, September 30th. Come enjoy dinner at Chick-Fil-A on University Drive behind Sam’s Club between 5 and 8 PM. Be sure to bring some spare change and look for the prize wheel under the tent! Give your coupon to the cashier and 15% of the proceeds will come back to the PTA to support our students, staff and school. Make sure you have some special Creekside colored ice cream before you leave!

Join us on October 16th at Moe’s from 5 to 9 PM and stay tuned for more Spirit Night events in coming months!

Fall Fundraising – Pam Kearsley and Nicolle Mercer--All fundraising orders and money are due back to school on Monday, October 13th.  This year, online ordering is even easier than ever before!  It’s quite simple to log into the website jhdistributors.com and send a link to all of your friends and family to generate more sales to help our school.  Please see your packet that is in your student(s)’ folder for more details.  We are seeking volunteers to help with collection day (Monday, October 13th).  For more information and to volunteer, please contact Pam at prk@nc.rr.com or 484-8866. 

Family Involvement & Welcome – Sha’Ronn Brown, Adria Boyd and Debbie Earnhardt We want you!  This year, the Creekside PTA hopes to increase family involvement.  So it is important that the Family Involvement & Welcome committee recruits some enthusiastic and creative parents.  The committee co-chairs, Adria Boyd (adriaboyd@nc.rr.com), Sha’Ronn Brown (spbrown19@aol.com) and Debbie Earnhardt (jearnhardt@nc.rr.com) have already been brainstorming.  But we need YOU to help coordinate events to get the whole family involved in learning & fun at Creekside.  Please contact one of the committee chairs if you have some ideas or time to share.  We want to make this year an awesome one at Creekside.

 

School Spirit Store – Cheryl Piccillo

 

Due to popular request, we will once again be ordering Creekside T-shirts, sweatshirts and more.  The design will be the same as last year (Dare to Soar). 
Please complete the order form found in your child's Friday folder and return it, along with payment, to his or her teacher by the deadline noted on the form. 
Please note that at this time, this will be the only ordering planned for this year, so place your order now.  We will continue to offer some items at our Spirit store
but cannot guarantee the colors or sizes you want will be available.  Also, if you would be willing to sort orders and assist with the distribution, please e-mail Cheryl Piccillo at cpiccillo@yahoo.com.  This would be a great way to spread the Creekside spirit, meet other parents and help by committing to a one time event!

Eagle Update

“Bald Eagles that reside in the northern U. S. and Canada migrate to the warmer southern climates of the U. S. during the winter to obtain easier access to food, especially fish. Some Bald Eagles that reside in the southern U. S. migrate slightly north during the hot summer months. More info here.

Box Tops, Milk Lids and Soup Labels, Oh My!

Please remember to keep collecting the following over summer vacation, so we can get a great start going into next year:
