Happy Thursday!

School Pictures

School pictures at Creekside are upcoming on this Monday, September 11th. You may order ahead online at https://inter-state.com/shop and use code 20828QA, or you can return the order form to your child's teacher by picture day. As a reminder, all students have his/her picture taken, but it is up to you if you wish to order pictures. We will also have school picture retakes on November 15th in case you aren't happy with the original photo session.

Dress well and SMILE on Monday!

R.E.D. Folders
I've had a couple questions about R.E.D. folders.  Just a few (hopefully helpful) reminders! :)
1.  The folder will come home on Tuesday, and needs to be returned by Friday.
2.  Every other week their will be a worksheet to go with the book.
3.  PLEASE sign the reading log when you return the folder to school, so i know I can keep the folder and prepare it for next week.
4.  You can keep the paper book at home.
Let me know if you have questions!

Box Tops
Congrats!  Our class WON the box top collection for August!  We brought in the most box tops out of all the classes in the whole school!  We will have an ice cream treat from PTO as a reward soon.  Keep sending those box tops in!

Bingo For Books
Please consider joining us at Creekside next Wednesday for Bingo for Books!  This event is completely free!  Families will get a free pizza dinner, and each child playing Bingo will leave with a free book!  I'll be there helping out, stop by and say hi!

Field Trip
A formal permission slip will come home Monday--but---mark your calendars!  Our Kindergarten field trip to the Indianapolis Zoo will be on Friday, October 13!  We need lots of chaperones to help make this a great day!  Parents, grandparents, or other family members are more than welcome to come chaperone--all chaperones must have a current background check in the office before the day of the field trip!  The cost for each child and chaperone is $6.  Sorry--no younger siblings may attend.  Each child and chaperone will need to bring a sack lunch to school that day.  We will be painting t-shirts later this month for us all to wear that day.  Chaperones will need to drive separate from the bus (and the zoo requires you pay the $6 parking fee--so carpooling is a great option!)  Students must ride the bus to and from school.

Have a great afternoon!
