Dear Spring Creek Families,

PTA News:

Our PTA will be sponsoring The Valentine’s Day Social this Friday Feb.7th @6pm. 

An important reminder: Students must be with a parent in order to attend this event. Parents may not drop their children off and leave.

 Please join us for three events on Feb.7th:                   

  • Student Site Council (SSC) 7:30 AM  

  • English Language Acquisition Committee (ELAC) meeting 8:45 both in the SC Library.

  • Valentine’s Social PTA Event! Fun! Fun! Fun! 6:00 

Friendly Reminder: Wellness policy- When purchasing or making your child’s Valentines, please refrain from buying Valentine’s with candy attached. 

Comedy & Bingo Night Adults Only Fundraising Event: Do you have a Timeshare, Hotel or AirB&B connection? Perhaps you have a connection to a business, artist or service. Our amazing PTA is working on a big fundraiser in April (Tentative date, April 3rd) where we will have an adults only evening of comedy, BINGO, a live and silent auction. Please share your connections for auction items with Jennifer Graue:Graue.jennifer@gmail.com

 

Book Faire Coming soon: Spring Creek is partnering with Scholastic to put on a Book Fair before and after school during conference week, 3/2-3/6. This amazing event takes place at the Spring Creek library. It promotes reading as something fun and raises much-needed money to replenish and/or update the Spring Creek library. Please sign up to help using the sign up genius link! We especially need afternoon cashiers!!! 

If you have any questions please feel free to contact Kathy Pecsar at KPecsar@rvusd.org

Parking: Be a Part of the Solution: Thank you Spring Creek families for helping be a part of the solution to our parking, pick up and drop off. I would love to have more parent/grandparent volunteer help, even if you only have 15 minutes. Thank you in advance for using the crosswalks only and staying in your vehicle in the white curb drop off zone. The idea is to keep pulling forward in the white zone.. Please set an example for our students by using crosswalks.

Proud Principal:  When students demonstrate character traits such as kindness, respect, perseverance, hard work, passing a level of Lexia, learning all of the sight words, etc., teachers will send them up to the office to receive a sticker that says “Your Principal is Proud of You.” Additionally, a note comes home to you as to why your child was selected for the Proud Principal Award. Each Friday I will take photos of all of the students who were sent to the office and put the photo in my weekly newsletter. Seeing  kids in my office for making positive choices is so rewarding. Here is a photo from last week.

I am so proud of these students!!
