Sycamore Creek Elementary families, join us for a fun-filled Halloween Party at McDonald’s.

📅 Wednesday, October 21, 2026

⏰ 4:30–6:30 PM

📍 7620 Diley Road, Canal Winchester, OH

Enjoy delicious food, Halloween activities, and a chance to see your teachers in costume! 🎃

🧡 20% of all sales through the McDonald’s app and in-restaurant during the event will be donated to Sycamore Creek Elementary!

Bring the family, invite your friends, and help support our school. We can’t wait to see you there! 👻

With our upcoming spirit week, this is a reminder that any costume worn can not cover the students face or be inflatable for safety purposes.

Our Veterans Day celebration is coming up! The celebration will be Wednesday, November 11th. The assembly will be open to all Sycamore Creek Second grade families (since second grade is performing) and Sycamore Creek Veterans and their families.

SCE Celebrates Digital Citizenship Week!

Students are working hard and learning about what it means to be a Super Digital Citizen! Our lessons and conversations in Technology this week revolve around being kind, safe, responsible, and smart while online (and offline, too!). During their Technology classes this week, students are signing a pledge to be a Super Digital Citizen. We are proud of their hard work and effort to make the digital world a better place!

SCE we are off to a great start! Thank you for showing up to support our community.

The Pickerington Food Pantry has shared that dry breakfast items are one of their highest-need items each week. We’d love your help filling their shelves and supporting families in our community.

Some great items to donate include:

• 🥣 Cereal
• 🥄 Oatmeal
• 🍫 Granola bars
• 🍓 Breakfast bars
• And other non-perishable, dry breakfast foods

Our elementary schools have decided to make a friendly competition and see which school can collect the most donations and be crowned the BEST in Pickerington! 🏆

Bring in the breakfast items, rally your classmates, and let’s show the other elementaries what we can do! Most importantly, every donation makes a difference and helps support families right here in our community.

There’s so much that makes SCE special—and our staff are a big part of it!

In celebration of National School Lunch Week, the PLSD Food Services team is creating a recipe book — and they want your family’s favorite recipe to be part of it!

What’s the recipe that always gets a thumbs-up at your house?

Maybe it’s a favorite way to enjoy apples. A veggie-packed dish the whole family loves. A smoothie that disappears in minutes. Or a recipe that’s been passed down through your family.

Share it with us!

As part of our Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, Pickerington Local Schools Food Services team is collecting family-favorite recipes featuring fruits and vegetables to create Our Families’ Favorite Recipes — a recipe book celebrating the tastes, traditions and creativity of our school community.

And don’t worry — it doesn’t have to be fancy. If your family loves it, we want to know about it!
