Spring Creek Cheetah Chatter
12/9/19
Dear Spring Creek Families,
Our Winterfest Concert last Thursday night was so beautiful. The students did an outstanding job singing and performing for our families. Thank you for being so flexible with the lack of seating. I am looking for a larger, no cost venue for next year.
Dine and Donate: Come on out to BJ’s in Coddingtown Mall Dec. 12th at 4:30-9:00. See flyer in link below.
Food Drive: Monday Dec. 9th is the last day to donate gift cards to grocery stores and/or non-perishable food. The food will go directly to our Spring Creek Families. Thank you for your donations.
Rainy Days: If it is raining at the start of school, students will go to the MPR to watch age appropriate G rated cartoons/movies beginning at 7:45 AM. If it is raining during recesses, students will have indoor recess. If it is lightly drizzling, students will play outside.
STEAM NIGHT: STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. Your students will have a wonderful night of exploration and hands-on activities. Join us at Matanzas at 6:00, Dec.17th. Teachers and volunteers will be facilitating the activities. This will be a fun night.
Variety Show: Is your student(s) interested in sharing their talent at our Variety Show?. Information is coming home with your child’s teacher.

Parking Reminders: Please follow the parking rules. PLEASE!
Please do not park or unload in the red zone.
Staff parking lot is for staff and handicap only. We have staff coming and going all day. Our after school daycare employees arrive at the end of school and they need to be able to get into the lot to park.
I am very concerned: Students and parents are jaywalking. Parents are encouraging their children to run across the street without going to the cross walk. I am so worried that one of our students/families will get injured. To complicate this, we still have parents who are making U turns in the middle of the street and in our staff parking lot. This has to stop!!!! PLEASE! Our campus opens at 7:45 and supervision is provided for students a half hour before school. Please leave home earlier so you are not in a rush. Please be kind to our staff and volunteers who are helping to keep our students safe.
A Solution in the DropOff/Pick Up: Please pull up all the way to the very front of the white zone when you arrive. The white zone is meant to be a very quick drop off and pick up. No braiding and combing hair, watching videos on your phone. THIS IS A QUICK DROP OFF AND PICK UP ONLY!!! PLEASE!!! People complain about the frustration they feel with the drop off/pick up zone, so we all need to help. We are a TEAM. Thank you for your cooperation. We really appreciate it.
Parking Volunteers: Help Needed
We are looking for volunteers to help monitor drop off/pick up in front of the school. Even if you can only commit to one day or one morning or afternoon, we would appreciate your help. Please contact our office manager, Sarah Hall and let her know that day/s you would like to help.
