Libraries of Love
Did you know that children in Uganda used to go to school and have no books there to help them learn? Trudy Marshall, a former RRISD librarian, realized this fact on a trip to Africa and decided to change that. In the last 13 years, Ms. Marshall has built and stocked 36 libraries in schools in Uganda. She started Libraries of Love and all the books, shelves, and supplies are provided through our donations of books and money.
The FCE Service Club will lead our book drive for Libraries of Love beginning in December. Drop off new or gently used HARDCOVER books that will go to libraries in Uganda. Our goal is to collect 800 books for children in Africa.

Walk to Read Event will be on Friday, January 13, 2017 at 1:15 pm. The entire school will participate. Bring hardcover books to donate as we simulate the long walk that children in Uganda take to get to school and their library! Celebrate reading with us as we share the love of books with children in Africa!
Science Fair Packet
The Forest Creek Science Fair will be held on January 26th, 2017. If you want to participate in the Science Fair you must submit a completed registration form to the school office by January 13th, 2017 by 3:00. Late entries will not be accepted. There are two types of registration forms (one for Kinder, 1st and 2nd grade students and another one for 3rd, 4th, and 5th students). The registration forms can be found in this packet. The School and PTA will not be selling display boards. These are readily available at many retail and craft stores.
*A science fair project is required to be completed by ALL 4th grade students. There are checkpoints that were sent home Thursday 12/1 on a green paper.
