Dear Spring Creek Families,

It’s that time of year when the weather is changing. Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather. It would be helpful as well if you could label your child’s jackets, coats and lunchboxes so if they are misplaced, it is easier for us to get them returned to students. We have outdoor recess even in light rain or if it snows! Students love to get outside and play and we want them to be prepared for the ever changing weather and temperatures.

I hope you have all saved the date to attend Spring Creek’s Annual Spectacular Color Festival on Monday, September 25th. This is the biggest PTA Fundraiser of the year and the proceeds go to support our students and teachers AND it is a lot of fun!! I will be there and I look forward to seeing all of you there too.

Please review the calendar items and other important information in the newsletter. 

Spring Creek Hawks don’t fly, they SOAR!

Mrs. Snow, Principal
