Dear Olde Creek Community,

What a fantastic (and chilly) first (and only) full week of school this month! Although the cold weather and persistent snow on the ground kept us indoors for recess, it didn’t cool off the excitement for learning in our classrooms. It has been wonderful to see our Bears diving into their work with enthusiasm and curiosity.

A quick reminder: there will be no school on Monday, January 20, as we observe Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Birthday and Inauguration Day. This is a great opportunity to reflect on the values of leadership, equality, and service to others.

We also have some exciting events coming up that you won’t want to miss! Be sure to keep an eye on the Upcoming Dates section above and mark your calendars so you can stay connected and celebrate all the great things happening at Olde Creek.

Thank you for your continued support of our amazing school community. Stay warm, and we’ll see you next week!

 

Warm regards,
Courtney Korb, Principal

Maureen Boland, Interim Assistant Principal

Stephanie Kaminsky, Assistant Principal

Keep Your Child Warm During Outdoor Activities

Winter weather is here! As a reminder, please make sure your child is dressed appropriately with a warm coat and other cold-weather clothing, so they can comfortably enjoy time outdoors. Schools monitor the weather for low temperatures, wind chill advisories and warnings, and weather advisories that may prevent children from being outside for activities like recess or physical education.
