The Gator Gazette
May 2018
Mrs. Myers' Message
Hello, South Creek Gators! We're wrapping up a great school year! Our staff and students continue to look forward to our end of year field trips and special activities. Several of our families are participating in the 25-year celebration of our Fast Flash on May 12th. Grab your running shoes and join us! Don't forget that our school-wide Field Day will be held on Monday, May 21st. Kindergarten through 2nd grade will participate in the morning and grades 3-5 in the afternoon. Our last school day is May 23rd.
Communication was sent home this week regarding the sad news that South Creek Elementary 3rd grade student, Jacob Wagner, passed away on Saturday, April 28th. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked for donations to be sent to our school. We will be working on a garden in the courtyard outside of Jacob's classroom to honor his memory. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Wagner family.
Mark your calendars for our events this summer! Our Fast Track event provides backpacks, school supplies, and community resources to students and families in Franklin Township that need assistance. You can get involved by volunteering on Saturday, July 14th. Just contact Lynlie Schoene at 317-803-5069. The cost to fill a backpack is approximately $35-40, so if you prefer, you can also get involved by donating. Monetary donations can be made payable to FTCSC.
It's hard to believe that we are already planning next school year! Our Kindergarten Orientation and Ice Cream Social will be held on July 30th this summer. I look forward to seeing you there! Thank you for your continued support of our school. Enjoy your summer!

Dear Gators,
Good-bye! I will miss writing to you guys. I love writing to you, and I hope I will be in the Gator Gazette next year. This year has been the best year ever! For all you 3rd graders, you will love 4th grade. I also want to say is that I love our new principal, Mrs. Myers. I also want to say good job to 5th graders for making it to middle school! For those kindergarteners, 1st graders and 2nd graders, I hope you have a great new year next year. My favorite part of this year was definitely the field trips. I hope all you guys had a good year! I hope you all are with us next year, and I hope that the newcomers have enjoyed this year and the newcomers for next year will enjoy our school! Well, have a good summer and I hope to see you next year!

Goodbye by Morgan
Dear South Creek Gators,
My name is Morgan and I’m a fifth grader this year. Unfortunately this means that I will be leaving South Creek after this year is over and so will all of the other fifth graders. We will be going to middle school. I will miss all of the great people I have met here including the great teachers and all of the great friends that I have made. This has been my first and last year at South Creek but I still love this school with all of my heart and will miss it with all of my heart. Bye Gators!
Sincerely,
Morgan
