Student Council Sponsors Food Drive

February 9-13 the Creekside Student Council is sponsoring a food drive for the Holland Rescue Mission. Students can bring their donation to their homeroom classes. The grade level that collects the most will get to watch the movie Wall-E. If the entire school brings in more than 1000 items, the entire school will not have homework on Friday the 13th!

I know there are a lot of families struggling to make ends meet and anything that you can help with will be appreciated. Thank you!

Winter Student Count Day is Wednesday, February 11th

You may not have realized this, but there are really two student count days every year. The fall count day, which comprises 75% of the funding per pupil, and the winter count day, which comprises the remaining 25% of the funding per pupil.

Is it important that your child is in attendance on this day? You bet! Although there are ways that we can still get funding for a student, it is much easier if the child is in attendance on the assigned "count day".

Thanks for your help in getting your kids to school!
