Memo for Garden Creek Parents and Guardians
Good afternoon, Creeker Families:
As we move into the week of Remembrance Day, I would like to
take a moment to give gratitude to the men and woman who fought for our
countries so that we may have peace. I would like to also honour those in the
military as well as first responders who continue to come to the aid
of others. We Remember.
Year 2000 Creeker Time Capsule Unearthed! – This past Friday,
some of our grade 5 students were on the search for 20 year old treasure
– A time capsule that was buried on the front lawn of the school. We took the
warm weather to find it per the cryptic directions on the back of a plaque left
by Steve Pierce, a former principal of our school. 5 minutes before the end of
the day, it was found but the bell had rung and it was time to go – some of our
staff continued the dig. The contents were in a large storage bin about 5 feet
below ground and, unfortunately, completely waterlogged!! Mr.
Briden and Mrs. Ghanem jumped in the trench and pulled out bags of relics –
mugs, pictures, toys .. you name it. Unfortunately, the best we can do, is to
take pictures of the items . We look forward to sharing the photos and video
with our students and perhaps some former staff or students on a full school
TEAMS share in the near future. We also look forward to no doubt making
our own time capsule as this would be the year to do so ( we will just ensure
we take water resistant precautions!)
Outdoor
Learning Support needed
– Irving is donated benches and stumps for our outdoor learning space. If
you are able to transport these from Chipman to Fredericton on a Saturday
of your choice, that would be wonderful! Please email Amanda Williams at mander669@gmail.com
Purple
Pinkies for Polio
– We are still accepting donations for this if you would like to send in a
toonie with your child. They will get their pinkies marked in purple 😊
