Conference Sign-Up Directions Simplified (English)
TITAMBE WEST AFRICAN DANCE/DRUM ASSEMBLE
We are excited that the West African Dance and Drum group, Titambe, will be at Sand Creek in a week. They will perform for students in the morning at two different assemblies on Monday, February 27th.
LIFETOUCH SPRING PICTURE DAY
March 7th will be Lifetouch's spring picture day here at Sand Creek. Look for more information to be sent home soon!
I LOVE TO READ MONTH
February is I Love to Read Month, and Sand Creek is having fun focusing on the love of reading. There have been and will continue to be a variety of activities going on through the month of February. A special thanks to the parents who have come to school to read to classrooms!
SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR
Our annual Scholastic Book Fair will take place in the Media Center during winter conferences. The students had the opportunity to preview the book fair with their teachers, but the purchasing of books will only happen during conferences, please do not send money to school with your child. All the more reason to make sure you come to Winter Conferences!
RECENT FIELD TRIPS
After our 3rd graders did a fabulous job on their venture to Stages Theater recently, our 1st, 2nd, and 4th graders went to the production of Frozen Jr. at Anoka Middle School for the Arts. Those students continued to build on Sand Creek's reputation in the community by doing a great job! Well done, Stars!
