Amazing Week at the Creek

Last week, October 17 - 21, was an amazing week at Rummel Creek.  Book Fair started Monday and went through the week.  WOW!  Best Book Fair ever!  Thank you Rummel Creek Community for supporting the library and it's programs by participating in the annual Book Fair.  It could not have gone better.  Monday night the RCE Fiddlers and the RCE Choir entertained the shoppers.  Art work by students was displayed in the library and, one of our staff members dressed as a pirate (Thank you Ms. Cook from PreK!)  What more could you ask for opening night of the Book Fair.  The week  continued with a Friday surprise with Donuts with Dad.  Thank you Dads for visiting the library while you enjoyed the donuts with your children.  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Rummel Creek Community.

Along with Book Fair, the Fourth Grade Student Council is sponsoring a Food Drive for the East Spring Branch Food Pantry.  It's going well.  We'll collect food through Thursday, October 28th!  Bring your food donations to the library next week.  As a result of the food drive at Rummel Creek, 40 families from our Sister School, Sherwood, will receive Thanksgiving day meals and additional vouchers for food from the pantry.  This is such a great way to help the families at Sherwood.  Thank you Fourth Grade Student Council members for working hard on this project!

Third graders, Jacob Baker, has launched his Socktober campaign.  He wants to collect 1000 pairs of socks for the homeless in Houston.  These socks will join the November service project sponsored by Fifth Grade Student Council.  (More details on the November project soon!)  Please support Jacob Baker by bringing your socks to your classroom.  We'll collect socks through October 31st.

Parent Conferences were held during the week as well.  Lots of parents visited RCE to meet with teachers.  Such a wonderful way to connect and share the wonderful things RCE students are doing!

Friday was Donuts with Dad.  Great turn out of Dads spending time with their children.  The students were so excited to see all of the Watch DOGS in their gear.  The KRCE crew thought we had a lot of Watch Dogs to put on the morning show.  So nice to see Rummel Creek families visiting together.

Ms. Foster's Second Grade class received the Spirit Stick.  Congratulations!

Be watching for information about the school Fall Festival.  Friday, November 4th!

October is nearly over.  This year is flying by!   It's great to be a Roadrunner!
