Spring Creek Parents,

   WOW! What a phenomenal night with OUr dads and students last night!!  We had over 400 people in attendance and 560 slices of Pizza Consumed! That is truly amazing.  We asked dads to give us one day this year in our school classrooms and hallways.  Many signed up last night and we will have an online sign up next week for others who would like to sign up to Be a Watch DOG at our school.  We are excited to start the program with our first Watch DOG today!   Thank you all for your support and love for your children.  Enjoy the long weekend!

Sincerely,

Jay Porter

Principal, Spring Creek Elementary

Family Reads

Family Reads notes were sent home on Friday, August 16th. If you didn’t see one, we’ve also attached the note below.  Don’t forget to request a book from our Family Reads Google form if you haven’t already. There is more information on how to do this on our school website. We hope those who have already received books are enjoying reading them with their family! When you finish the book remember to take a picture of your family with the book and email your picture and a short review to Mrs. Blair ( michellebl@provo.edu). We will post these on our Family Reads bulletin board. After you’ve done this, you can request another book!
