Hinkle Creek Parents and Friends,
Thank you Hinkle Creek friends and families! We had a terrific Cougar Challenge! This was the best year yet! Parents and students helped us raise close to $50,000 for our P.T.O. budget which will help purchase books for students and classroom libraries, playground equipment, teacher instructional resources, and more. We really appreciate your support for Hinkle Creek!
Not only was the fundraising a huge success this year, but the running races were also outstanding! The students and teachers gave great effort in running the half-mile Cougar Challenge race course and had so much fun!
This Wednesday, September 22nd is an eLearning Day for all Noblesville elementary schools. Students will stay home on Wednesday and work on eLearning assignments that will be provided by their teachers. Our Hinkle Creek faculty will use Wednesday’s eLearning Day to attend professional development sessions to learn to be better teachers. Thank you parents for giving us this valuable professional development opportunity.
The following is a list of future eLearning Days scheduled for this school year:
Nov. 3, Feb. 9, and March 2.
Help Needed! Hinkle Creek is looking to hire two (2) Instructional Assistants to become members of our faculty and staff. These are very rewarding positions that help support our students. If interested, please contact jack_lawrence@nobl.k12.in.us
Picture Day will be September 30th and October 1st! More details will come home soon!
You can order online at mylifetouch.com with your Students School ID or Picture Day ID: EVT2TTFRD.
Sincerely,
Jack Lawrence; Principal at Hinkle Creek

From the cafeteria:
Last Minute Menu Changes
The national food, product and trucking shortages that are impacting stores and restaurants are also impacting our school cafeteria operations.
These shortages can cause our menus to change unexpectedly at the last minute at any specific school and some students have expressed tears, frustration, and anger at these changes.
Please know that we are doing what we can to provide meal options as planned, but families should expect occasional disruptions.
Thank you for your patience as we work to best serve you.
