Dear Olde Creek Families, 

Happy New Year! We hope you had a joyful and restful break filled with special moments and time to recharge. After two weeks off, followed by some unexpected snow days and a delay, it was wonderful to welcome our students back to school today.

We are incredibly proud of how our Bears transitioned back to learning after this extended break. Even on this short day, their energy, resilience, and enthusiasm for learning were inspiring. It’s a reminder of how remarkable our Olde Creek community is.

As we look ahead to 2025, we’re excited to continue partnering with you to support our students in achieving their best. Thank you for all that you do to make Olde Creek such a wonderful place for children to learn and grow.

Wishing you a happy and healthy start to the new year!

Warm regards,
Courtney Korb, Principal

Maureen Boland, Interim Assistant Principal

Stephanie Kaminsky, Assistant Principal
