I hope everyone enjoyed a restful Thanksgiving!  Please consider joining us for our December Site Council meeting.  We will be gathering off site at the Bryant Corner Cafe for a combination of socializing, celebrating and business.  Children are welcome to attend and kid friendly meals will be available for order but childcare will not be provided.  

Lots of sign-up forms have come in already, and this promises to be another exciting Winter Bazaar (an event co-sponsored by the TC Parent Group and the TC Associated Student Body)! 

 

This eagerly anticipated annual event is our community's own craft fair and community get-together.  All students who are interested have a chance to create handmade goods at home ahead of time to sell to their peers and other members of our community.  Each classroom also has the opportunity to create a handmade project to sell at the event.  After school, we have limited space for some TC alumni and adult friends of TC to sell their handmade work, as well as food for sale and a cakewalk.

 

Students and classrooms will sell their items in the gym and hallways from 1:00pm - 6:00pm or until they decide to close up shop.  Students who aren't selling will have an opportunity to shop at the bazaar during their classroom's designated time. Outside vendors (including TC alumni) will sell in the lunchroom from 3:40pm - 6:00pm. Each participating vendor donates 20% of his or her sales to Thornton Creek. *

 

 

Is your child planning to sell some handmade creations at this year's Winter Bazaar on Friday, December 11?  Are you or a friend or family member?  If so, have you submitted your online sign-up form?  If not, don't wait another day.  We'll be accepting forms until this Friday, December 4, but outside vendor spots may fill up before then. 

 

Remember, items for sale must be handmade, weapons are not allowed, and food items that can be consumed immediately (e.g. baked goods and candy, even if wrapped) cannot be sold until school is over at 3:40pm.  Please also note that it is school policy that no items can be made with or containing peanuts, tree nuts, or their shells.

 

Even if you're not planning to sell anything, please plan to come join the community celebration, do some holiday shopping, and support Thornton Creek.  You'll find lots of unique handmade products, including jewelry, cards, stuffed animals, candles, pottery, ornaments, and clothing & accessories that you just might not be able to find anywhere else this year!
