Denim, Diamonds, And Dice Casino…You Play … Children Win!

The Casino Party was a huge success! On behalf of the

staff and students at Fall Creek Elementary, I would like to

thank the PTO board, Kim Green and her Denim, Dia-

monds, and Dice Casino Fund Raiser Committee, volun-

teers, sponsors, donors and supporters of this important

and extremely successful event.

Let's Be Good Neighbors!

Please keep our students safe and be kind and consider-

ate of our neighbors on Stonebridge Creek (on the cafe-

teria side of the school). Please do not park in front of

the houses especially in front of driveways, park only

with the flow of traffic, do not park on the grass, use the

sidewalk while walking inside the gate, drive slowly and

watch for students and other pedestrians crossing the

street. Please use the curbside service offered before

and after school where it is becoming more and more

efficient and students are unloaded and loaded safely.

Thank you for helping to keep our students and neigh-

borhood safe.

PLEASE VOLUNTEER AS A SCIENCE FAIR JUDGE

Fall Creek is participating in Humble ISD’s district Science Fair this year for the first time. Participation requires that we provide volunteers for the judging exchange program. This helps eliminate any parent-child judging conflicts. To participate, Fall Creek must provide the names of volun-teers willing to judge science fairs at other elementary schools within the district. Although you are not directly working at Fall Creek, it is helping our school qualify for the judging exchange program. The judges will need to be available through the school day (8 am to 2 pm) and will be provided refreshments and a lunch. The judging process is very guided and simplified by helpful district employees and other volunteers that attend the fairs. For more infor-mation please contact Cassie Young at Cas-sie.Young@humble.k12.tx.us. To see the dates of the local science fairs and sign up to volunteer please visit the link below. Thank you for your support.
