Boxtops
Don’t forget to mention in your newsletters, emails, etc.: We collect Box Tops and Coke Points, but parents can also submit Box Tops via the app and Coke Points online!BLESSING BAGS
This February 14th, Valentine’s Day, we will be sharing the love. Every student at Creekside will come to the gym and assemble a blessing bag. This is such a great way to teach our students how to give back and to be empathetic. Blessing bags are ziplock bags filled with basic essentials: shampoo, deodorant, socks, combs, etc. We will give these to local organizations like Kic-It and churches so that they can be distributed around the community. We need your help to make this project work. We will need a lot of items to complete the bags. We are trying something new this year. Each grade level will have specific things to donate. You can still donate other items, but we thought this would help give some guidance! See the list below. If you are part of a business that would like to help donate items or money for us to buy items that would be awesome. Please email Alysha Sherry at sherrya@franklinschools.org with any questions or concerns!
Kindergarten--Shampoo/2-1 products
First Grade----Toothpaste/toothbrushes
Second Grade--combs/water bottles
Third Grade----socks (adult sizes, neutral colors)
