Happy Spring Clear Creek!  At our March PTC meeting we selected Monday, May 7^th for our staff appreciation breakfast. This is a great time for you to show the staff at Clear Creek how much you appreciate all they do for your children every day!  If you would like to help or contribute to the staff appreciation breakfast please call Kelli 432-6551.

Also at our March meeting we had Marty from the Bear River Parks and Recreation department come and tell us some information about the current and upcoming after school enrichment programs.  Marty said for this program to be a success it would be beneficial for our school to have a school coordinator. The coordinator role involves encouraging enrollment by attending class rooms to briefly announce upcoming courses to the students, receiving payments and forms and reviewing forms for accuracy. It is a paid position.  For more information please call Marleen at Bear River Parks and Recreation (530) 268-7275 or send her an email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . 

With less than 3 months of school left its not too late to get involved in the Parent Teacher Club.  We have 3 meeting left and a few fun activities to plan.  At our upcoming meetings we will be discussing the back to school night barbecue, cougarpawlooza and officer nominations for next year.  Don’t forget Cougar Coffee continues through the end of the year on Friday mornings from 8-8:30.  We hope to see you on Monday, April 16^th at the next PTC meeting.

PTC would like to thank all those who helped with our e-waste event in December.  Thanks to Alan Waters and Scott Taylor for spending the day helping compile the e-waste, Sierra Nevada Memorial for donating e-waste, Jhana Junge for loaning her pickup to pre-collect e-waste, Kim Gilliland for making the signs and thanks to all parents and community members for their donations!  This year’s e-waste drive was a huge success!

After a quiet January PTC looks forward to upcoming events and fundraisers.  PTC is sponsoring a table of chocolate goodies at the 2^nd Annual Clear Creek Chocolate tasting fundraiser that will be held on Friday, February 3^rd at 7pm.  We look forward to seeing you there and tasting delightful and delicious chocolate treats of all kinds.

PTC’s biggest spring fundraiser is Silver Graphics.  Each class’ art docent has worked hard to compile art from each child to be sent to Silver Graphics and placed on mugs, dishtowels, water bottles etc.  Your family and friends will have the opportunity to purchase various items with your child’s artwork on it.  Silver Graphics generously gives Clear Creek PTC 30-33% of the profits.  Ordered products will be sent home by Spring break so you can distribute your child’s art to family and friends you may be seeing.  Silver graphics also makes great Mother’s Day gifts, birthday gifts and just for fun gifts!  To see the products offered please visit the office where they are on display. You will be receiving an order form and a preview of the art your child submitted in the weeks to come.

Our next PTC meeting is February 6^th at 3:05pm, we hope to see you there!
