Dear Olde Creek Families,
We hope this newsletter finds you well, despite the recent cold and blustery weather. It’s been wonderful to have our students back from Thanksgiving break, refreshed and ready to learn. As we look ahead to the upcoming weeks and the winter break, we encourage you to stay warm and safe.
A Friendly Reminder:
Please remember to check the lost and found for any missing items. Any unclaimed items will be donated after the end of next week. With the colder weather, we know these coats and jackets are needed!
We look forward to sharing more updates and exciting news with you in the coming weeks.
With Gratitude,
Courtney Korb

Bears Care - Holiday Donations Needed
Did you know that Olde Creek has a food pantry to help Bears in need?
Please use this sign-up to donate gift cards to support our Bears Care pantry over winter break. Places such as Target and Walmart allow families to purchase exactly what they need and will ship directly to the school! You may also drop gift cards off to the front office. Please have gift cards to the school by December 13th.
If you have any questions, please contact Lisa Goodwin at lisamarm@gmail.com. Thank you for your kindness and generosity!
Lost & Found Items Will Be Donated - 12/13
All jackets, sweatshirts, lunchboxes, etc., that are left at school at 3:30PM on Friday, December 13th, will be bagged up and donated.
If you are missing something, please check the lost and found by the end of the school day on December 13th.
Please consider putting your child's name or initials on the label inside the jacket. It greatly increases the chances that we can re-unite your child with their belongings
