From Mrs. Miller:
I would like to thank the parents and the PTA for the wonderful lunch provided to staff on Friday before our professional development sessions. All staff members were very appreciative of the lunch. Thank you for all you do to support our hard working and dedicated staff.
Parents of a rising kindergarten student planning to attend Middle Creek Elementary for the '17-'18 school year are encouraged to register at your earliest convenience. It is important for Ms. Reed, our data manager to know if rising kindergarten students have siblings currently attending MCES. This information will ensure siblings are placed placed on the same track, which is a must for all families. Track notification letters will be mailed to families in April.
The new K-2 playground structure has been ordered! The students are very excited and cannot wait to play on it once it is installed. Thank you for your fundraising efforts through Boosterthon to make this a reality for our students! There are two pictures of the structure on the PTA's bulletin board in the main hallway. I encourage you to stop by and look at it the next time you are at school.

Greetings Middle Creek Elementary School Parents!
We’re excited to be hosting the Boosterthon Fun Run to help us achieve our fundraising goals for the year. The Boosterthon Fun Run is a fun, nine-day character, fitness and leadership program that combines world-class and engaging character content with a fundraising event for our school. This year, we are raising funds to update the front field, as well as, fund all the wonderful PTA sponsored events at MCES. Thank you ahead of time for your support!
ARE YOU ASSOCIATED WITH A LOCAL BUSINESS? SPONSOR OUR T-SHIRTS!
Community partners, we need your help! Each student will be provided with a FREE custom Middle Creek Elementary t-shirt to wear the day of the Fun Run event. This is at no cost to the student. Last year we were able to partner with community businesses to off-set the cost of the shirts. We are hoping to partner with even more community businesses this year, and we need your help in getting the word out. If you know of or are part of a business that would like to sponsor our t-shirts, please see the attached letter and information. This information will also be available on our website, http://middlecreekpta.weebly.com We need a commitment from all sponsors by March 1 in order to have the business logos printed on the shirts.
I’d like to give one more shout out to last year’s sponsors! Thank you again to Riccobene Family Dentistry, Ten Ten Auto Service, and Gonyeau Family Chiropractic for providing spirit wear for every student at no cost to our families.
Thank you in advance for your support of the Boosterthon Fun Run program that will be starting on Tuesday, April 11! If you have any questions, please contact me at salisc@msn.com
Thank you,
