Olde Creek Families and Friends…
We have had a great first week of the school year. It has been wonderful to have the building full of our student’s smiling faces and
inquisitive minds. They are off to a great start!
This year at Olde Creek, we will be talking a lot about
stars and how they connect to our educational journey. There will be more
information to come about this theme throughout the year. You may have noticed
our staff shirts this year that are covered in stars. On the back, there is a
picture of the constellation ursa minor….which
translates to "little bears." Also, on
the back of the shirt is a quotation from a popular song….“when you wish upon a
star, makes no difference who you are.”
As a school, we are focused on the second part of the
quotation. Every student matters. Every family is important. Everyone connected
to Olde Creek is a part of our school family. Strong school-home partnerships
will set our students up for success this year.
We are very excited for a wonderful year of learning and
growing together.
Thank you for all that you do to support the Olde Creek
students.
Sincerely,
Dustin Wright
Principal
Back to School Night – Tuesday, September 12
The Olde Creek Back to School Night will
take place on Tuesday, September 12th from 6:45 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. This is a great way to continue to develop
the strong school-home partnerships that will help set our students up for
success. At this event, teachers will provide information about their
individual classrooms, grade-level curriculum, and programs and resources
available to our students and families.
This night is just for parents.
Please arrange child care for your children. The school will open at 6:30 and the
classroom programs will begin at 6:45 p.m. For families with multiple children,
there will be two identical sessions presented in each classroom beginning at
6:45 and 7:30.

Laps for Learning is Coming! – September 23
One of the wonderful traditions we have at Olde Creek is our
annual Laps for Learning Fun Run and Fundraiser that is sponsored by the PTA.
It will take place on the morning of September 23. This exciting event and
biggest fund raiser of the year is a great way to come together with the school
community and help support our students at the same time! Purple Laps for
Learning flyers have been sent home and there will be more information in the
coming weeks. We can’t wait to see you at this wonderful event!

Family Dinner Nights on September 27 and October 19
Save the date for our first two Olde Creek Family Dinner
Nights of the school year. Come out to Elevation Burger on September 27 and
Flippin’ Pizza on October 19 for a great meal and fun evening with the community.
A portion of the proceeds from both events will go to our school! Be on the
lookout for a flyer to be sent home in the coming weeks.
Woodson Feeder Night Football Game - September 22
The Woodson
Activities Department would like to invite you to their Annual Elementary Feeder
Night Football game on Friday September 22, 2017! Students will get to
represent their elementary school and run across the field prior to the game.
The football game starts at 7:00pm and the students will meet at 6:30 PM under
the scoreboard.
Birthday Treat Update
If you wish to bring cupcakes or other individually packaged
treats as a snack to share with the entire class on your child’s birthday, you
must coordinate this with your child’s teacher at least one school day prior to
the event. This will allow us to support students with allergies and medical
concerns and avoid disruptions to the instructional program of all the
students. Any treats that are dropped off at school without prior notice will
not be distributed until the next school day, at the earliest. We would also like to encourage other ways to
recognize birthdays such as healthy snacks or a classroom visit from a family
member as a mystery-guest reader
