The PTSA is Looking for a Host with the Most
Did you know Creighton PTSA has a hospitality chair? This role is (arguably) the most fun on the entire PTSA board! Our current host has an 8th grader and is leaving Creighton, leaving a very valuable position wide open.
You'll coordinate monthly meals, snacks, and other treats for the Creighton staff, and play an important part in supporting the 100 professionals who keep our school running.
This year, we had a budget of $3200 and hosted a baked potato bar, Thanksgiving pie day, Rockies opening day hot dog picnic, Teacher Appreciation Week, and a few other odds and end surprises (like stocking the freezer with ice cream!).
The "job" requires only a few hours each month, and is often supported by the entire Creighton community's donations and volunteer effort via signup geniuses.
If you (and even a friend!) are available, please email CreightonCougarsPTSA@gmail.com.
8th Grade Social - Mary 23rd 6pm - 7:30pm

All donations can be brought to Mrs. Bieber's classroom (Room 106) until the 23rd! Thank you in advance for your contributions and generous offerings!

You have the opportunity to merge 2 sports together to invent a funnier sport.
Base-Basket: Played on a baseball diamond with basketball hoops placed randomly throughout the field. Players have to hit the ball with a bat and then the batter's team in the outfield must attempt to get the baseball through the hoop. As the batter runs bases, the opposing team can get them out by either tagging them with the ball or getting the ball through their own hoop. Players score by running all the bases and by getting a basket.
Cheer-Golfing: This combines Golf and Cheerleading. Players compete in teams and wear sparkily outfits. Tee off is done in a cheer pyramid: the golfer is lifted into the air by their team while another player holds the ball on an oversized golf tee. Once tee off is complete, the rest of the game can proceed like regular golf.
Foot-Dart: The football game is played as usual, but instead of kicking a fieldgoal to get the extra point, the person who scored the touchdown must play a game of darts against the referee. If the player wins the game of darts, their team gets the extra point.
Pickle Bowling: It is like a regular game of Pickleball, but behind each player is a bunch of bowling pins. Players can score points in the usual way or by knocking down their opponent's pins. The game ends when all the pins have been knocked over.
