End of year student celebrations
As we approach the last day of school, we are preparing for some great fun. We are asking for your help so that we can celebrate our students as they progress to the next grade, whether that be here at Willow Creek or at a new school. We are so thankful for everything they bring to our lives and are proud of them.
We are reaching for the stars here and are happy with any donation so we can offer prizes for our building-wide games such as Bingo, Minute to Win It, and Name that Tune in addition to smaller games happening within their classrooms. Here is a link to the Sign Up Genius:

Please note there are slots for different categories: $5 Gift Cards, Boxes of Candy, Gatorade/Beverages, Random Prizes, Large Bags of Candy, Boxes of Chips - Variety Pack, and Mayo Spartan Wear. If you are donating Mayo Spartan Wear, you need to visit the Spartan Shack. You may search for these items by category by using the search box at the top if you don't want to scroll through the pages. With this in mind, we offered up enough slots for each so that guardians have a choice, which is why there are so many pages. Any prize not used this year will be used next year as a part of our PBIS School Rewards, so they will be used to celebrate our kids this coming year if prizes are leftover.
Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. If you are supplying food, you may either send it with your student to school by Wednesday, June 1, 2022 or drop it off. This provides us with time to get them sorted and to the classroom teachers by Friday, June 3. Any prizes left over will be used to supply our PBIS School Store for the next year. Finally, we add a lot of slots so that you have options. Thank you!
Please drop off any donations at the main office. Thank you again for your generosity!

Honors Options Classes
For the 22-23 school year WC will be moving from honors classes to honors option classes. In an honors option class, students taking the class as an honors class, are in the same room as students who are not taking it has an honors class. Besides that, the honors and honors option classes are the same. Next year, students in 7th and 8th grade will be able to sign up for honors option classes in October, after they get a chance to experience the content. We are hoping that this shift will allow for more access to honors materials for students and allow students to take more that 1 or 2 classes in the honors format.
