Aspen Creek
Monthly Happenings – April 2015
Issue #8
Volume #2
From our principal’s desk…
Parents,
The year is moving very fast… I guess the older I get,
the faster things move along. Check the school
calendar, Weekly Update, and classroom newsletter
for all things going on at Aspen Creek. With all the
snow days we had this winter, our last day of school is
May 28th. On the 28th, we will have Super Kids
Day! Awards assembly will be on May 27th… 9:30 for
K-2 and 2:00 for 3-5. All are welcome to attend and
bring your cameras.
Our PTA is the best in the district, in my opinion.
Recently they purchased new swings and another
spinny toy for the playground. Kids love them! If you
happen to see a PTA officer, let them know how much
you appreciate what they do for our school.
If you have any questions about anything do not
hesitate to call or email. Our school number is
918-259-4410 and my email is lsmith1@baschools.org
You are cordially invited w the ACE PTA

Congratulations to Mrs. Beach for receiving a grant
from the Broken Arrow Foundation to startup the Lego
Club at Aspen Creek. While the grant will help her
purchase some Legos to get started, Mrs. Beach could
still use more donations. You can donate new or gently
used Legos or give money towards purchasing new Legos... anything
will help. We are so excited to be able to bring the Lego Club to Aspen
