Olde Creek News

Admin Avenue

Dear Olde Creek Families,

We had such a special week celebrating Blue Star Welcome Week! It was wonderful to honor and recognize our military-connected families. Thank you for being part of our community and for sharing your stories and experiences with us.

We also want to thank everyone who joined us at Honeygrow for the PTA Restaurant Night! It was a fun evening of connection and delicious food, and we’re grateful to our families for coming out to support Olde Creek. It doesn't hurt that we are raising money at the same time as eating delicious food!

Don't forget that Monday, October 6th, is the last day to purchase spirit wear. Order here: https://oldecreek25.itemorder.com/

As always, we appreciate the many ways you show up for our school and our students. We can't do it without our community.

With PAWS-itive Gratitude,

Courtney, Matt and Steph

Help the PTA Organize Family Dinner Nights

Our amazing volunteer who organizes family dinner nights (like the one you just read about) could use a second pair of hands. The job involves selecting restaurants who are willing to give us a percentage of the profits if we promote eating there, then collecting payment from the restaurant and giving it to the PTA Treasurer. This is a great way to support a long-time volunteer and fund the PTA without spending more than a few hours a quarter. Email board@oldecreekpta.com if you can help.
