PTA Message

February is an exciting time for PTA. Some of our biggest and most impactful events are coming up. The first is Freedom Week, which will be held February 20-22. As with all of our Freedom Weeks, we have some really special things planned to help the students appreciate all the freedoms we enjoy in our country. This year’s theme is “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” We have a great line-up of activities to help the students understand this important part of the Declaration of Independence and the colonial times in which it was created, including an essay contest and an assembly with lots of great activities. This will be an awesome assembly that will take place on Friday, February 22nd at 9 AM. You will definitely want to be there as some of our students will be speaking and all of the students will be singing some songs that celebrate freedom. Information about the essay contest and Freedom Week are in this newsletter, and this information will also be sent home in backpacks and via email. We are really excited for our Freedom Week. We hope that you and your student will be able to participate!

Our second big event, which is coming up quickly, is Staff Appreciation Week. If you haven’t had a chance to get to know your student’s teacher and the staff at Spring Creek Elementary, you should take some time to do so. We are so lucky to have the dedicated, hardworking, and awesome staff that we do! Staff Appreciation Week is March 25-29 and it’s a huge PTA event to show our staff some much-deserved love. We work really hard to make this week as fun and celebratory as possible, but it takes a lot of hands in order to pull it off so if you’re interested in being involved in any capacity—decorating at the school, helping with food,gathering donations, donating from a business you have access to, putting gifts together at home,etc.—we need all the help we can get! Please contact us at springcreekpta@gmail.com or attend our next PTA meeting. You don’t need to be a PTA member to be involved in Staff AppreciationWeek or in helping with anything that PTA does. We love to have any help from anyone that is willing!

Spring Creek Elementary is an awesome school and we’re lucky to benefit from the many great programs that are available to our students. If you or your student wants to be involved in more activities, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask! PTA is always willing to answer any questions and the Spring Creek teachers and staff bend over backwards to help any student they can. We love our school community and we want everyone to be a part of it!

Community Outreach

What’s the purpose of the Provo School District Advisory (parent/legal guardian/caregiver) committees?

The purpose of the (Native American, Latino, Pacific Islander, African American, Asian American, LGBTQ+) Advisory Committee is to bring Parents, Legal Guardians, Caregivers and Provo City School District (PCSD) together to accomplish goals that will strengthen the district for the benefit of all student needs, and build on relations that will lead Provo City School District students to graduation.

General objectives:

Establish a supportive relationship between parents/legal guardians/caregivers of students and the Provo City School District. This relationship will be built through constructive discussions in which parents/legal guardians/caregivers will discuss the challenges that students are having in any of the schools of the Provo City School District. In addition, the Advisory Committees will present possible solutions to those problems to the Provo City School District Student Services Department. Furthermore, the Parent/Legal Guardian/Caregiver Committee will plan activities/events in order to strength the relationship between, parents/legal guardians/caregivers, students and the Provo City School District.

A.H.A Kids Heart Challenge Fundraiser

Our school is proud to partner with the American Heart Association again this year! Last year we participated in JUMP ROPE FOR HEART and this year we’re kicking off KIDS HEART CHALLENGE!!! We are excited to continue JUMPING ROPE and to help those with special hearts. Did you know that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of all Americans, 80% of it may be preventable through lifestyle changes? For 40 years we have been teaching children the importance of heart-healthy habits – a foundation for the rest of his/her life. This service-learning program will also share with your child the inspirational stories of children who have been touched by this disease while they raise funds to help kids like them and save and improve all lives.

Here’s how it works:

  • Your child has received his/her fundraising envelope. Start by setting up a personal fundraising page
  • Ask family and friends if they’d like to donate. Not sure what to say? Your child can use the simple script on the collection envelope.
  • Encourage your child to get ready to jump, shoot hoops and have fun at his or her school event!

As part of the Kids Heart Challenge, your child will have to choose a healthy message for the heart and share life-saving tips. In addition, there will be a space for parents with suggestions so that children continue to lead a healthy lifestyle at home.

The school can raise funds for the sports team and children will receive thank-you gifts that will encourage them to continue caring for their heart health. This is a reason to celebrate jumping!
