Talent Show Auditions will be held after school on Monday, April 15. Audition forms were sent home on Friday, March 15 and are due by April 8. Students may audition for only one act. We are looking for a variety of acts that are very well prepared and rehearsed. Talent Show auditions will be here before we know it, so it’s a good idea to start rehearsing your act now!

Upcoming Events
Apr. 29: Feet Meet
Feet Meet
The Feet Meet is Sunday, April 28 8:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. Information was sent home with your student on Monday, April 1 and students will hear more about the event on Tuesday, April 2 during a school assembly.
We are looking for more parent volunteers for this event and we will be unable to run the event without enough volunteers! You do not need to run to be a volunteer. Some volunteer spots just require standing at a location on the course to monitor runners. Others require just an hour or two helping to pass out snacks after the races. Sign up here!
This year's Feet Meet is looking for sponsors! If your family, your business, or your organization is interested in sponsoring the race, please fill out the linked google form. There are three levels of sponsorship - Gold, Silver, and Bronze - each with worthwhile race and advertisement perks. We couldn't do this without the support of our Woods Creek families!
