Olde Creek Spring Book Fair
The Olde Creek Book Fair will take
place from Monday, April 24th until Friday, April 28th.
Look for a book fair flyer in your
child’s backpack soon. It provides
information about the fair and details some of the books that will be available. A wish list from your child may also be
included with the flyer. All families
are invited to come to the book fair evening hours on Tuesday, 4/25 and
Thursday, 4/27 from 4:30-7:00. Cash,
checks (made out to Olde Creek ES), and credit cards are accepted at the
fair. Taxes do not apply to book fair
purchases.
The OC PTA is sponsoring a, “Read Up Day,” during Teacher
Appreciation Week (May 1 through 5 - the week after the Book Fair). Teachers will have Wish Lists hanging on the
left wall just inside the book fair for you to select a book from. Use these wish lists to help you to select a
book that will be a valuable addition to your child’s classroom library. Your child should bring the book to school on
Read Up Day, Tuesday May 2nd.
Bike to School Day on May 10 and Bike
Rodeo on April 28
Bike to
school day is around the corner again! Join us on May 10th and walk
or bike to school. We will set up bike
trains which are groups of parents and students that bike to school together,
and pick up others along the way at predetermined “train stops” to ensure a
safe ride for everyone. Visit the SignUpGenius
pages to sign up for the event, volunteer to help with the bike trains, to
reserve a spot on the bike train, and to donate breakfast foods for the arrival
party at school. We will have t-shirts for the first 100 students who sign up
by April 28th (sizes based on availability).

RAMping Up Transition Program at
Robinson
Robinson
Middle School, in partnership with the Robinson Secondary School PTSA, is
excited to offer RAMping Up, a
transition program for rising 7th grade students. The goal of
the program is to acclimate students to their new learning environment and
school community while fostering friendships. Middle school teachers and
counselors will lead program sessions focused on core curriculum expectations,
technology integration, organization, goal setting, and team building.
Students will tour all areas of the building, learn about block scheduling,
locker use, and after school activities. It will be a week of making
connections with key adults in the building, hands on learning, and fun!
If
interested, you may register for one of the two sessions that will be held
between July 31 and August 11th, from 8:00am to 12:30pm.
Parents must provide transportation for this program and the fee is $80.
To Register: Either open the attached
informational flier to access the online registration form and payment
instructions using PayPal or click here
for direct access. The registration
form is also available in Spanish and may be accessed here.

that a limited number of scholarships are available to those who need financial
assistance, so please complete the registration process and the program
director will be in contact with you. If you have any questions regarding
program registration, please email the PTSA at rampingup@robinsonptsa.org.
Additionally, the PTSA leadership team is looking for parent volunteers to
