Laps for Learning THANK YOU!!!
A huge thank you goes out to
everyone who participated in our Laps for Learning Fun Run on Saturday. It was
a wonderful event and it was amazing to see the Olde Creek community come
together. We are extremely grateful to the Olde Creek PTA for supporting this
event and for all of parents who volunteered their time to help make it a
reality. We also appreciate all of the generous food and drink donations that
helped our runners recharge at the end of the event. Our school is fortunate to reside
in such a warm, caring, and friendly community and that was on full display on
Saturday.
Olde Creek Bears Care Community
Outreach Program
Olde Creek Elementary is pleased to kickoff the second year of our Olde Creek
Bears Care Community Outreach Program! The primary focus of Bears Care is
to provide weekend food provisions to students in need in our school
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.
Food bags will then be packed on Fridays for students to take home for
weekend food support. For this week, we are pre-collecting food items to
stock up our food pantry while this year's list and number of families are
being finalized. If you are interested in donating food items this week,
please click the link below to sign-up. Thank you!

Safety Drills at Olde Creek
Today, we
conducted our second lockdown drill of the school year and we will have a
minimum of two more. Additionally, we have already conducted four fire drills
this year. During the first month of the school year, fire drills will be
conducted on a weekly basis and for the remainder of the year they will happen
once a month. We will also conduct tornado drills and bus evacuation drills
throughout the year. The purpose of a lockdown is to protect against intruders
in the school building. Prior to today, teachers talked to our students about
the purpose and practiced the procedures to prepare them for our drill. Our
students and staff did a great job today! We are very proud of them.
OCES 2018-2019 Room Parents
