field trip
Just a reminder that our field trip to downtown Franklin is next Friday, November 1st.  I am still missing about 3 permission slips.  Please have those in WITH $5 as soon as you can.  If you got picked as a chaperone, don't forget to send in $5 for yourself if you haven't done so already.  Don't worry if you didn't get picked to chaperone!  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!

Muffins With Mom
Dear Mothers, Grandmothers, Guardians, Significant Women of Creekside Students,
Creekside is holding its annual Muffins with Mom events on Wednesday, November 6th and on Friday, November 8th. These events are free. Because we believe turn-out will be large, we have two events:
  • Preschool, K-1-2 students with moms - Wednesday, November 6th from 7:00-7:30 AM
  • Grades 3-4 students with moms - Friday, November 8th 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://forms.gle/gPcS5kxk56oATXuB7 or call 317-346-8800.
The Donuts with Dad events will be March 4th and 6th, 2020 and more info will come out on these events in early 2020.
These will be wonderful opportunities for moms to spend quality time at school sharing breakfast.
