Just a reminder that our field trip to downtown Franklin is TOMORROW. We can have 5 chaperones only per class, due to capacity limits at the museum and city hall. If you are one of the 5 parents picked, you should have gotten an email from me last week. Here are the 5 I have going: Joel's mom, Emery's mom, Addison's mom, Brent's mom, and Harrison's mom. But don't worry! We will be going on a field trip to the children's museum in December, and will take AS MANY chaperones as want to come for that field trip!
We are still planning on going on our field trip tomorrow, however, we are aware the the weather forecast calls for rain and strong winds. We will have the buses available to take us between our stops, if we feel it is needed. Your child may still get a bit wet getting on and off the bus and walking short distances, so rainjackets or water repellent jackets would be helpful. We will do our best to make it an enjoyable trip for all. Don't forget to send a sack lunch with your child tomorrow! We will eat inside at Franklin College.
Muffins With Mom
Creekside is holding its annual Muffins with Mom events on Wednesday, November 7th and on Friday, November 9th. These events are free. Because we believe turn-out will be large, we have two events:
- Cub Academy, K-2 students with moms - Wednesday
, November 7th from 7:00-7:30 AM - 3-4 students with moms - Friday, November 9th from 7:00-7:30 AM
Both mornings will be in our gym.
We ask that moms try to attend the event that corresponds with their child's current grade level. However, moms that have children in more than one grade may choose the event that works the best for their schedule and attend one event with their children. Also, if one event works better than the other, moms can attend either event with their son or daughter.
The menu will be muffins and fruit along with fruit juice and coffee.
Please RSVP to attend at https://goo.gl/forms/
Don't forget tomorrow is Wednesday! That means Early Release day! Dismissal will start at 1:40
