​Memo for Garden Creek Parents and Guardians

We hope you enjoy the long weekend. Please see below for events and dates coming up…. REMEMBER PICTURE DAY IS THIS TUESDAY!

Picture Day – A reminder that this Tuesday is picture day. Students will be called down with their class to the library to get their school pictures taken

Help Eradicate  Polio!  - This year we are continuing our Creekers Change the World initiative with our continued support in efforts to end polio.  We will be collecting toonies from Tuesday October 15th until Monday October 21st.  All profits go to the vaccines that will be used in third world countries to help stop the spread of Polio.  Your child will make their mark as the stamp their purple pinkies on the map of the world.  Help us stamp out polio in 2019!

Did You Know??? – Another part of Creekers Change the World is around our school community being more aware and responsible for our environment. DID YOU KNOW that by the end of the school year, at our current rate, our students would have consumed  17, 280 cartons of milk.. and that DOES NOT include the Ks who would be starting milk after Christmas? These cartons ARE NOT recyclable at the school level – but they COULD be recycled at home. We need solutions and we are reflecting on this through both the school level and through our community. Change is coming for a greener Creek – be a part of the solution!  Come to the PSSC subcommittee meeting on Wed October 30^th at 6:30 to discuss this and more
