This week is our field trip! Our field trip to the Ag Expo will be on Tuesday, September 24th. Thank you for turning in all of your field trip permission slips so promptly! We will be leaving for our field trip at 11:30am and returning around 2:30pm. If you are planning on riding the bus with us, please arrive at 11:25am. If you are meeting us there, we will be arriving there around 12:00pm. Since we will be on our field trip during lunch time, we will be eating an early lunch BEFORE we leave. If you marked on the permission slip that you will be sending a lunch for your child, please send the lunch with your child in the morning so they will be able to eat it BEFORE we leave for the bus. We will be eating an early lunch around 11:00am. It's going to be a great field trip, I can't wait! :)

Jog-A-Thon
Mark your calendars because on Wednesday, October 2nd Willow Creek will be holding our annual Jog-A-Thon! Jog-A-Thon is a fundraiser put on by our amazing PTA that helps raise money for our school! The entire school will be walking or jogging on the Willow Creek track on Wednesday, October 2nd at 2:45pm. The kids always have so much fun at this event! Parents and siblings are welcome to join us! This year, there is even a Disney twist..... everyone is allowed to wear costumes inspired by their favorite Disney characters. (No costumes that will hinder running, and no masks). Our school has set a goal for raising money for the Jog-A-Thon. Awesome prizes are awarded if our school makes our goal, and individual prizes for students that raise the most money. (See the flyer that was sent home on Friday for details).
