​Memo for Garden Creek Parents and Guardians

This coming week is Safe Schools Week. We already successfully performed our school evacuation last week, so this coming week, we will be working on other drills such as the lockdown, blocked exit drill, playground emergency drill and bus safety.  (Attachment sent in our previous memo). We are also attaching information related to bus safety.

Help Eradicate  Polio!  -  Tuesday is our last day to accept donations for our Pinkies for Polio campaign  All profits go to the vaccines that will be used in third world countries to help stop the spread of Polio.  Help us stamp out polio in 2019!  We will be having an assembly this Tuesday at 11:00 AM.

CREEKERS CHANGE THE WORLD TRICK OR EAT!  Starting mid week, we will be accepting food donations for the Community Kitchen. We will be sending more information around what we will be asking of specific classes. This has always been a wonderful way for students to contribute to the wellness of those in our greater Fredericton community and also demonstrates Global Citizenship
