Week of February 16, 2009

Thank you 6th Grade Parents!

Thanks to our 6th grade parent, the 6th Grade Bash was a huge success! About 100 students participated in the event that ran after school until 6 PM. All students received a custom "Dux Pride" t-shirt from the event. A big thank you needs to go out to the many parents that planned and helped run this year's 6th Grade Bash!

Successful Food Drive

The Creekside Student Council sponsored a food drive to benefit the Holland Rescue Mission. Overall, the drive was very successful with almost 1,700 items donated. The 6th graders were the big winners, donating a total of 674 items, just edging out the 8th graders total of 619 donated items. By winning, the 6th graders earned a movie and popcorn event!

Thanks to all who helped donate to this great cause!

Parent Conferences Coming Monday, March 2nd

This spring, Creekside is holding a one-evening parent-teacher conference. March 2nd, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. the teachers will be available to talk with you about the progress of your middle school child. This would be a great time to discuss any concerns that you have regarding both the academic progress from this school year, or to help answer questions that you may have regarding next school year.

Due to the time constraints, we are not scheduling specific conferences with each parent / guardian. Instead, feel free to drop-in at any time from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. to talk with one or more of your child’s teachers. We encourage you to come as early as possible, as our busiest time is traditionally after 5 p.m.

We look forward to seeing you on March 2nd!
