First Quarter Incentive
As part of our PBIS initiative at Sycamore Creek, each quarter we have an incentive that students can earn. For the first nine weeks, we are doing a carnival recess. Next Tuesday, October 10, there will be carnival games set up for students to participate in at recess. To make this happen, we are asking for a few donations and some volunteers. If you are interested in supporting this event, please sign up at this link: Carnival Recess Sign Up.
Veteran's Day is Coming
Sycamore Creek is planning a Veteran’s Day celebration! Activities will include music provided by our students, patriotic art projects on display, poetry readings by fourth grade students, and a photo slideshow to honor all former and active military families affiliated with Sycamore Creek Elementary.
The celebration will be Friday, November 10. The assembly will be for veterans, active military and family members of veterans or active military that are part of the Sycamore Creek Elementary Community. More information will be sent home, including an RSVP, in the following weeks.
We need your help! We are asking families if you have an active or military veteran in your family that you would like honored, please send us some photos! If you sent us photos last year, you do not need to send them again. All photos that were part of the slideshow, with the exception of last year’s fourth grade students, will remain in the slideshow unless you request they be removed or updated.
We would appreciate it if the photos could be sent to us digitally so that we do not need to worry about returning them in a timely manner to the correct student. We know how precious some of those photographs can be. (This can be as easy as taking a picture of the military photo with your phone.)
You can upload these pictures using this link:

We anticipate that this will be a wonderful celebration because we all know our students here at Sycamore Creek Elementary are capable of great things!
Thank you for your help and support!
