  We Stuffed the Bus!

A big, yellow, school-bus sized “thank you!” to everyone who came out to contribute to our Stuff the Bus campaign last Friday. We were able to collect nearly 2,000 lbs of food in a single day - that’s a literal TON of food. We were filled with holiday cheer to see all the students anxiously engaged in feeding our community.  

  Fun Run Update & Thanks

Next week is a busy time for our families, a time where we celebrate and give thanks for all the wonderful people in our lives. We as a PTA at Shoal Creek echo those sentiments. We are thankful for our fun loving students, dedicated parents, families and friends who have supported us throughout this year. We are thankful for all your involvement in creating a memorable and exciting fun run a week ago. Our Otters accomplished something over the course of two weeks which is nothing short of amazing! The students ran a total of 1,129 miles and collected pledges to net Shoal Creek over $23,000 during the Apex fun run fundraiser! They ran in support of our PTA and the many programs it supports including that of a PE aide, science support, classroom support and more. Thank you for supporting us so we can create memories for our children.

  Adopt-A-Family

For our adopt-a-family program this year, we have ambitiously accepted 20 students from PUSD to provide gifts for this holiday season. We will be administering the program this year in a way that will hopefully be more meaningful and impactful for our students. To be successful, we will need lots of parent volunteers. Our program will kick off when we get back to school from the break. If you are interested in helping, please contact Jess Hardy at jhardy.sf@gmail.com.
