New Car Magnets

The awesome Olde Creek PTA has provided new car magnets for every family at our school. All students who participated in Laps for Learning received a magnet on the day of the fun run. Magnets are being sent home today (one per family) for students who were unable to be at Laps for Learning. Show your OCES pride with these great new car magnets!

Walk to School Day – October 26

Olde Creek will be celebrating Walk to School Day on Thursday, October 26. This event is paired with our Bike to School event in the Spring as a way to encourage alternate modes of transportation, to teach safe pedestrian skills, and to have fun. If your student lives too far or is unable to walk all the way to school, they can meet up with their classmates at a designated spot nearby and walk from there. More information will be coming home about this event later this month.

Olde Creek Bears Care Community Outreach Program

Olde Creek Elementary is pleased to kickoff the Olde Creek Bears Care Community Outreach Program!  The primary focus of Bears Care this Fall will be to provide weekend food provisions to students in need in our own community.  These students typically receive free or reduced priced meals during school days, which for many are the only meals they may receive.  

To make this program successful, WE NEED YOUR HELP!  We will be requesting food donations on a weekly basis through Sign-Up Genius.  Food donations can be dropped off at Olde Creek's Front Office during regular office hours.  Please click the link below to sign-up for food donations for the first food packs to be delivered on October 20th.

If you would like to participate in this program as a parent volunteer, or have a student in need of service hours who would be interested in packing food bags, please contact Meera Pillai at meeravpillai@yahoo.com

 

Olde Creek School Directory

We have launched an online web student directory again this year. Please check your email for a message from, “Olde Creek Elementary PTA” (email address will be OldeCreek@atozconnect.com) with the subject “PTA student directory: verify your information”. This email contains a personalized link that you can use to verify or edit how your information will appear in the printed student directory and it will include instructions on how you can access the directory online.
