Welcome back Colt Families! 

The 2007-2008 school year was another success for the Morning Creek Elementary Foundation.  3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th grade students will be returning to school with brand new document cameras in their classrooms (17 cameras in total)!  The Foundation generated enough funds to secure our PE Instructional Aide, Marsha Santiago as well as Mardi Johnson, our school Counselor, through the next calendar year.  We will also continue to support the Reading Plus program.  Further, $5000 garnered from the Fund-A-Need drive at “A Country Affair” was contributed to Morning Creek classrooms.  

The Morning Creek Elementary Foundation anticipates another year of successful fundraising to further enrich our children’s education experience. This year’s calendar of programs includes the Read-A-Thon, Candy-Cane Grams, Jog-A-Thon and our signature “A Country Affair” auction event.  We will also pursue fundraising through Albertson’s Community Partners program, Wacky Wednesday dinner nights, Recycling and E-waste days, and Cartridges for Kids collections throughout the year.  Look for news about upcoming events in the Newsletter and YO packets.

Looking forward, the Foundation’s objective is to raise the funds necessary to continue providing our students with a competitive education; academic support, physical education, counseling services, and technology in the classroom.  If you would like to help in this effort you are sincerely welcomed and encouraged!  Please stop by the office to provide us with your contact information.
