Have you taken amazing pictures of the school year? 
We'd love to see them in the yearbook!   
Please send any pictures you've taken of school events, everyday activities around campus, field trips, assemblies, etc. to hawkscoppercreek@gmail.com.
 
*Please let us know what grade and/or class your pictures are of.

Copper Creek Student Council meets from 12:20-1:15 the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of every month.
This schedule is regardless of breaks/holidays.
Volunteers Needed!

Copper Creek is an AMAZING COMMUNITY SCHOOL with lots of wonderful volunteers that make it such a special place! We need your help to continue doing all the fabulous things we do! You don't need to commit to hours a week...just an hour or two a year!

scissors box top  
 
STOP! 
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY FOOD PACKAGING...

Make sure to save those box tops for the winter collection date. Box tops will be collected again on Friday, March 8th 
 
Check your cereal boxes, ziplock bag boxes, butter packaging, fruit snacks, etc. for the Box Top logo. We'll take them any way that you can send them in, but if you or your children have time to trim around the box tops, that saves our box top crew some time.  If you have any questions, please email the PTO at coppercreekpto@gmail.com.

Join Ms. Fengler for after school art on Wednesday's from 2:20-3:20.

Good Evening Families,

I hope you had a restful time with the kids over the weekend.  We are ready to have them back!  There are some cool activities happening in the next few weeks including Jump For Heart and the Amphi Track Meet.  

We are also in the beginning of stages of planning for next year, so please return registration paperwork when you are able to!  There are parent input forms in the office if you would like to give us additional information about your child regarding class placements.

Have a great week Hawks!

Dear Parents,
 
We are proud to partner with the American Heart Association through the Kids Heart Challenge program!  Our school is thrilled to teach students how to live a HAPPY and HEALTHY lifestyle while helping those with "special" hearts by raising life-saving donations to fight the #1 and #5 causes of death in America, heart disease and stroke!
 
Our goal is to have 100% of our students join our online team and take the CHALLENGE for Happy and Healthy Hearts! 
 
Join Our School's Team by clicking here
Download the App by searching "Kids Heart Challenge" in the app store! And search for our school!
 
Take the Challenge!    Once you join our team, your student will pledge:
  • to exercise for 60 minutes a day
  • choose water over sugary beverages
  • to do a good deed daily
 
Just for signing up online and for taking the pledge, your student will earn the FREE GLOW IN THE DARK WRISTBAND!!!
 
 
 
Thanks for supporting our school event. Because of you and the American Heart Association we can educate our students and help kids like Finn!  CLICK HERE  to meet Finn (2 min video)
