Thank you to Rikayla Bjorndal, and Tori and Catlin Skolrud for attending the special board meeting for our boys' basketball co-op to voice the collective hopes and concerns of our parents and student athletes. After many meetings and input from parents, Rikayla did a great job of putting it all together to share with the board. Thank you to all the parents and the Willow Creek School Board for your time and consideration before making this decision. Our HS girls and boys will be playing basketball next season in Whitehall.

Great turn out for Grandparents' Title 1 Engagement Activities this morning. Thank you all for coming! Mom's turn next week! 7:30AM Wednesday the 19th.
There will not be open gym at Willow Creek tonight 4/12. See you next week :)
No U turns in front of the school please! it is for the safety of our students. There is a place beyond the playground to make a turn.
Thank you Dads, for coming in this morning and sharing math time with your students. It was a great turn out!!
Next Wednesday is Grandparents' Title 1 family Engagement morning. Bring Grandma, Grandpa or both for a fun Reading activity.
REMEMBER: This Wednesday is DAD's day to come in early and have muffins with their student while engaging in a fun Title One math lesson. If you haven't sent in your RSVP to your student's teacher, please let them know by tomorrow. Muffins and juice will be set up at the top of the stairs, make sure to grab breakfast! Start time is 7:30 in your student's classroom. If you have more than one student in elementary and can't be in two places at once, pick a room and siblings can join that activity so we aren't dividing up family engagement.
A HUGE shout out to everyone who came out and supported our school carnival! It was fantastic to see so many people. Thank you to the many people who donated Bingo prizes, cakes, pies and items for the food booth. Thank you so much to the Willow Creek PTA for all your time organizing and manning the food booth.
Due to Parent Teacher Conferences there will be no open gym tonight at Willow Creek. See you next week!
The bus is going to be a little late getting kids dropped off. Ms. Chrystal drove the band kids to Harrison for practice this afternoon. They will be at the school in 5 minutes and back into Three Forks right after dropping off the band kids at Willow Creek.
Just a reminder, tomorrow is the last day to file a Declaration of Intent and Oath of Candidacy for the open trustee position.
Grades 1-4 go on their CROSSCUT adventure tomorrow! Remember to bring warm winter gear, sunscreen, and lunch. (an extra pair of dry socks is really nice to have at the end of the day!) The bus will load up at 8:15 and be back to the school before the end of the school day.
Grades 5-12 will head up to Bridger Bowl this Thursday 3/9 for their second time on the hill this season. Grades 1-4 will go do their Crosscut adventure 3/16. Please make sure students dress for the weather. Sunscreen is a great idea! it's easy to get too much sun out in the snow on a sunny day.
The deadline to file a Declaration of Intent for the School Board's three-year term is March 23rd. Incumbent Chelsey Petz has returned her Declaration of Intent to run again. If interested in running for this position please see District Clerk Sherri Lower for the paperwork.
