Every Spring the PTO hosts a huge fundraiser for the school. It means tons of work for mom ( and by default dad ) but it is a big success for the school and so much fun for the students, so I guess all the work is worth it. It begins with a Creekfest Race each year where the students raise money from sponsors and run a race during the school day rather than do their typical schoolwork. It is always a fabulous morning and this year didn't disappoint. Isabelle called her Grandparents and Aunts and convinced them to sponsor her and then rocked her mile race. She is a good little runner and always enjoys being physical and active.
After all the kids cross the finish line tired, so hot, sweaty and proud, we celebrate that evening with a HUGE school-wide family party. There are bounce houses, exotic pets, hair painting, BBQ, face painting, pizza, photo booths, trampolines, the Sugar Shack, raffles, etc. Olivia ran from one thing to the next owning the school like a big girl while Isabelle spent almost the entire night rocking out with the DJ and even getting picked to dance on-stage. After a long, very profitable and super fun day, we all four crashed into our beds tired and full of sugar. It is an event that everyone in Creekside Park looks forward to every year, especially the treasurer, and one that as parents we are proud and happy to put in the record books for the year. We are thankful to live in such a fun and supportive neighborhood and love to support the school and the programs Isabelle enjoys so much.
