Indian Creek - September, 2017
Principal's Message
Dear Indian Creek Families,
Everyday Fundraising Opportunities:
Did you know that there are three ways to raise money for Indian Creek Elementary by simply doing the things you do every day? We encourage all our families to take advantage of these great everyday fundraising opportunities.
You can connect your Kroger Plus card to Indian Creek Elementary then all you have to do is shop at Kroger and swipe your Plus Card! By going online and creating an account through the Kroger Community Rewards, Kroger will donate money back to Indian Creek every time you shop. Use the following Link to create an account and connect your Kroger Plus card to Indian Creek Elementary. https://www.kroger.com/account/enrollCommunityRewardsNow
You can cut out Box Tops from any General Mills product and bring them to school. Every Box Tops for Education that is brought into school is worth 10 cents. Last school year we were able to raise over $1000 in Box Tops alone. Look for more information regarding our monthly Box Tops Celebration initiatives.
Every time you dine at Buffalo Wild Wings on Pendleton Pike be sure to tell them that you want 10% to go to Indian Creek Elementary. Last school year we raised over $800 from Buffalo Wild Wings alone.
The money raised from all of these programs goes directly to the students of Indian Creek. Last year, the Indian Creek PFO spent over $35,000 on our students. Purchases last year included additional iPads, chapter books, Project Lead the Way membership, and Club Sponsorships. This can not be done without the support of our families. We look forward to raising even more money this school year so we can continue to provide our students with learning experiences that are unique to Indian Creek.
If you are not receiving weekly Sunday messages via phone and/or email please contact the office at 964-4400.
All our teachers will be utilizing Twitter this year as a means to document and communicate classroom activities. Teachers will also be using Twitter as an educational tool to follow experts for curriculum and instruction. I encourage you to join the conversation and follow our teachers.
