Almost February!

Yearbook Reminder

It is time to order your 2019-2020 Creekside Yearbook! We sent home paper order forms and envelopes a couple weeks ago. If you need another order form so you can pay by check or cash, just let your child's teacher know or call our school office.

You may also order and pay online at www.inter-state.com/yearbook and use code 43400M. Yearbooks are $15 each and have covers designed by our 4th grade yearbook cover contest winners! Place your order soon so your child can keep a memento of his/her school year here at Creekside.  Orders are due by Friday, February 7th.
