Hinkle Creek Parents and Friends,
Parents, we had a great week of school! Just a reminder…..please make sure your student is wearing a very warm winter coat to school. We are still seeing some students coming to school in sweatshirts without heavy coats. It is just getting too cold not to have a coat. (Thank you for your help!)

Hinkle Creek Girls in 5th grade – and older sisters!
Have you wanted the adventure that Boy Scouts have, in a troop for girls? A chance to experience adventure, outdoors, and belonging while working toward the rank of Eagle Scout? Noblesville Scouts BSA Troop 222 launches in February – a troop for area girls to enjoy the adventure of Scouts BSA!
To join
A girl must be at least 11 years old, or a fifth grader. We’re especially looking for fifth- through eighth graders (ages 11-17 qualify) who want to be part of this brand-new troop. Girls do not need to have previously been involved in scouting to join.
Noblesville Girls Troop 222 will hold a recruitment event on Monday, January 24, at Bethel Lutheran Church, 206th St. and Cumberland Road, at 7 pm. It will be a fun evening to learn more about this new troop and Scouts BSA and how to get involved. Leaders will be there to answer questions, and we will have some scouting activities that might be part of earning your first Scout rank.
For more information, please contact the troop at noblesvilletroop222@gmail.com, Scoutmaster Jenny Sherrill at jennyrsherrill@gmail.com or check out our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/NoblesvilleTroop222. We can’t wait to welcome more girls into the adventure of Scouts BSA!
Help Needed
We are looking for volunteers to help drop off food rescued from lunch to a local food pantry.
To learn more and volunteer please use the sign up. Food Rescue Delivery Sign Up
