Welcome back! I hope you all had a great week off!
PTO Pizza Cards
The PTO is excited to offer something new this year. We have teamed up with our local Papa John's to sell pizza cards. The punch cards are $10 each and are good for 1 free large pizza and 19 buy one, get one free pizzas. That's 20 free pizzas for $10!!! And, they don't expire until December of 2021! Please check your child's backpack for the envelope order form coming home. All money and orders are due back Monday, October 26th. Please make sure all the information on the envelope is filled out completely and checks are made out to Creekside PTO. The pizza cards will be sent home on Friday, October 30th. These cards will make great gifts, so get a headstart on your holiday shopping. Everyone will enjoy the gift of not having to cook! If you have any questions, please contact Kim Lock at klockmomrn@yahoo.com. If you are a virtual student and would like an order form, there are extras in the office at Creekside. Please have them back to the school no later than Monday, October 26th.
If you ordered school pictures from our September 11th school picture day here at Creekside, those are coming home with your child today. If you aren't happy with the pictures, please hold onto the package and send it back in on picture retakes day so the picture studio can retake the photo and send home a replacement package with the new photo. Picture retakes are on Friday, November 13th here at Creekside. All students new to Creekside since our original school picture day, or any student who didn't have his/her photo taken on school picture day will also have a photo taken on Friday, November 13th. Also, if you didn't order school pictures and now wish to order, you can still order photos and gifts at https://inter-state.com/ord
