THIS WEDNESDAY THE 12TH, STUDENTS GET TO PARTICIPATE IN THE BOOSTERTHON DANCE FIT DURING SPECIALS!

IF YOU HAVE NOT... SIGN UP NOW: https://mybooster.com

Goal: $40,000 for Playground and School Improvements

If you have never been a part of a Boosterthon Fundraiser, here is the gist:

1. Go ahead and sign up... students get credit JUST FOR THAT!

2. Students ask for families, neighbors, friends, etc. to "pledge" an amount of money for each lap they run (ex. $1 each lap) OR they can make a one time flat donation.

3. Each day between the 3rd and the 12th, we will listen to a Character lesson from the Boosterthon team, check our classes' fundraiser standings, and daily prizes are given to each student based the funds they raised the night before.

4. Then, on Wednesday the 12th, each grade level will have their Boosterthon Fun Run during specials! Students get a Boosterthon shirt and we get to "mark" the back every time they run a lap!

5. At the end of the run, all funds are collected based on laps ran or flat donations.

OUR CLASS CURENT STANDINGS: $18 per minute danced!

Due to Valentine's Day falling during our February Winter Break, Camp Creek Elementary will hold a CARDS ONLY Valentine's Exchange on Wednesday, February 12th.

Students will get a large white envelope to decorate at school for collecting Valentine's Cards in. We are asking for students to bring a class set of small cards/candy only. (Please see below for examples)

Camp Creek has very firmly stated that there will not be Valentine's Day parties, class treats, goody bags, etc. Students will also not be bringing in a box/bag from home. They will use the provided envelope. Thank you for understanding.

If your child brings $1 to buy a candy gram for a friend, it may be best to also send them with a notecard that has the friend's first and last name, and the teacher if possible!
