Dear Olde Creek Community,
As we head into the long Memorial Day weekend, we want to take a moment to thank all of our amazing families for your continued support throughout the school year. Just a reminder—there will be no school on Monday, May 26, in observance of Memorial Day. We hope you enjoy the extra time to relax and recharge with your loved ones!
With only a few weeks left before our last day of school on Wednesday, June 11 (1:15 release time), we’re entering a fun and festive final stretch. There’s so much to look forward to—concerts, Field Day, the Talent Show, and more! The warm weather is here, and it’s a great time to celebrate all the hard work and achievements of our students.
Please be sure to check your email regularly for important updates—you won’t want to miss any of the upcoming events.
Let’s finish the year strong, together. We truly appreciate all you do to support your child and our school community.
Wishing you a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend!
