General PTA Meeting
Tuesday, June 6 from 5-6pm

We will be voting on next years PTA Officers and the new proposed PTA Membership Fee. We will be showcasing all the great work we’ve done this year as well as holding a Committee Fair with information on how to get involved.
The Slate of Officers:
President – Erica Libertore
Vice President – Brooke Dever
Secretary – Christie Masinick
Treasurer – Stephanie Wilson
Proposed Change to PTA Membership Dues:
Reducing the individual Membership dues from $10 per person to $8
Adding a “Family Membership” for $12
Staff Membership remains the same at $5
The Kona Ice truck will be there providing a much-deserved, end of year sweet treat!! We hope to see you there!!!
We’ve taken the guess work out of it… no shopping around for sales, no fighting the crowds at big box stores, no storing your purchases on your dining room table for weeks on end and no lugging a giant bag of supplies in with your student on the first day of school!!!
If you order by June 15 your order ships FREE to Creekside!!!!

Crayola Color Cycle Program at Creekside Continues – We are excited to report that we are going to continue the marker recycling program started last year in conjunction with Crayola. It’s called CrayolaColorCycle – an amazing program devised to turn used markers into energy! Last year Creekside recycled 2,148 markers. Let’s see if we can beat that number this year!!
All around Creekside Elementary students and teachers will be collecting used markers (all brands of plastic markers, not just Crayola markers, that includes dry erase markers and highlighters), that are ready to be discarded. The markers will then be sent to a facility where they will be converted into clean fuel. This fuel can be used to power vehicles, heat homes, cook meals and more!
Please help support our efforts by sending your kids in with any used markers you may have around the house. Drop-off boxes will be located in each classroom for your child to deposit the markers. These boxes will remain in the classrooms throughout the year for continued marker recycling.
Thank you in advance for participating! With the help of parents like you across the country, the Crayola ColorCycle program can keep tons of plastic out of landfills each year.

$10 each ($5 for staff)
Please continue to support the businesses that support our school!
