Admin Avenue
Dear Olde Creek Families,
Welcome, March!
We are so happy to finally see some sunshine peeking through. There is something about a little extra daylight that lifts everyone’s spirits and helps us feel ready for a fresh start.
As we step into this new month, we have noticed a slight uptick in student behavior. This time of year can bring extra energy, and we would love your partnership in helping our students stay focused and positive at school.
Please take a few minutes at home to review our PAWS expectations with your child:
🐾 Practice Kindness
🐾 Act Responsibly
🐾 Work and Play Safely
🐾 Show Respect
When school and home work together, our students thrive. Your reminders and encouragement truly make a difference. Together, we can help our students “march” forward with confidence, care, and pride in how they treat one another. (I always love a good pun!)
Thank you for being such an important part of our school community. We are grateful for you and excited for all the growth this month will bring.
Take care,
Courtney Korb

Woodson Fanquest
FanQuest is a special event happening on March 13 at 5:00 PM at 9525 Main Street, Fairfax, VA 22031. Admission is free!
This event gives students on our Unified team the chance to play on center court in front of a big, cheering crowd.
The night begins with a fun tailgate party in the auxiliary gym and nearby hallways, featuring a moon bounce, activities hosted by school clubs, food, merchandise, and more.
The main event is a Unified basketball game against another school, where Special Olympics athletes and their same-age peers play together on the same team. During the game, there will be “TV time-outs” with performances, crowd activities, games, and chances to win prizes. The evening will end with an awards ceremony.
