E-Blast

Happy holidays from the faculty and staff at I.T. Creswell!  Don’t miss these important announcements and events:

Tomorrow, December 20 – Half day for all students.  Dismissal is at 11:30 a.m.

December 23 – January 6 – Winter Holidays – No school

Girls on the Run may be coming to Creswell!  VOLUNTEERS Needed!  This is an exciting program that we are hoping to offer to our girls this spring.  It not only prepares its participants to complete a 3.1 mile run/walk, it also uses a fun, 12-week curriculum to teach them how to deal with the challenges they face every day: peer pressure, bullying, self-esteem and more.  We are still looking for a head coach and a few volunteers to get the program up and running here at Creswell.  Practices are twice a week for an hour and a half after school.  If you are in any way able to help or know someone who is able to help, please contact Lesli Hall at lesli.hall@mnps.org or 812-8300.  Thank you!

ATTENTION PARENTS:  THE PTSO NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!  See their note below:

The PTSO will be hosting our third annual Father/Daughter & Mother/Son Valentine's Dance on February 14th. 2014.  Tickets will go on sale around the end of January.  We will be serving a Sunday style dinner with all the fixings as well as having a D, so everyone can dance the night away!  

This event is NOT a fundraiser but an opportunity to come together and celebrate the holiday with our family and friends. We do want this to be an affordable, memorable and fun evening, though, and so we will be holding our first silent auction! We hope that this will make the evening more exciting - as well as helping us to recover some of the cost, too.   

We are asking for all students to help us put together prize baskets, so that each grade level will have their own basket to auction.  The basket themes for each grade are below, but if you do not know what to donate you can certainly send $3.00 in an envelope to the PTSO, through your homeroom teacher, and we will add to the baskets for you!

5th grade - GOURMET KITCHEN BASKET

6th grade - SPA BASKET

7th grade - ENTERTAINMENT BASKET

8th grade - PET BASKET

We have several leads that will help us put together other themed baskets as well. We have invited a photographer to take family photos, and so we hope you will come "dressed to impress," spend the evening with us, and bid on some great baskets, gift cards, and more!  

Thank you for all that you do, Paula and Deidra
