Happy TWOSDAY 2/22/22!

Help

I am looking for shoe boxes for a special writing project at the end of March.  If you have any shoe boxes that you would normally throw away, please consider donating them for our project (you won't get it back).  Or if you have any small Amazon or other shipping boxes about the size of a shoe box, that would work too!  Thanks in advance!

Blessing Bags

February is almost here and that means it's time to spread the love!  We are planning to put together blessing bags again this year and I can't wait.  If you are new to Creekside, the students put together blessing bags (toiletries, snacks, water, etc.) to be donated around our community.  The bags go to local churches, food banks, ASSIST, Kic-It and more.  We will put them together the week of February 14th.  There was a yellow paper sent home Monday with all the needed items.  If parents need to drop off a donation, there will be a tub in the front vestibule area.  Let me know if you have any questions or if you have a business that may want to make a larger donation, etc.
