Attention, all Middle Creek Families……… we need your new and gently used children’s books!
During the month of February, WAKE up and Read will collect new and gently-used books for children ages birth-12. The goal is to collect 110,000 books in one month – enough to share at ten schools, as well as community centers and child care facilities across Wake County. The WAKE Up and Read campaign was launched in 2012 to address one of the most critical junctures to lifelong success, reading on grade-level by 3rd grade. This unique community collaboration includes education, civic, philanthropic, and business leaders from across Wake County, all working together to help every child develop the necessary skills for success in school and beyond. Sadly, many Wake County children have no books in their home and arrive for kindergarten without the knowledge and experiences they need to excel. Our shared goal is to ensure that more children from low-income families have the tools and resources they need to become lifelong readers and learners. Working together, we can build stronger students and a stronger community. Middle Creek Families can make a difference in our community just by donating books! Please clear your cluttered shelves of books your kids have outgrown, or bring in favorites of your own, so that we can help Wake county children grow up loving books. Look for the book collection bins in the front office and please help us fill them! Even if you don’t have any children’s books to bring in, you can purchase books to support the drive at local retailers, or through the WAKE Up and Read Amazon Wish List (amzn.com/w/1CKI25DIX2JBX). Donations are also welcome and made be made online at www.wakeed.org/invest/invest-now-2/; just enter your information in the form, and select that you’d like to apply your gift to WAKE Up and Read at the bottom. If you would like to make a donation, volunteer or find out more, please contact Susie Holland…[email protected].

Susie Holland Media Coordinator Middle Creek Elementary School Middle Creek Elementary is excited to be partnering with the Boosterthon Fun Run, a fun character and fitness-focused fundraiser. The program kicks off on Monday, April 11th with a school-wide Pep Rally and ends with two community-building Fun Run experiences that includes all our year round students.
On the day of the Fun Run event, each student will receive a customized t-shirt with our school logo on the front, and the students’ laps will be tallied on the back. In order to provide all students with these school spirit shirts at no cost to our families, we are looking to partner with local businesses like yours. Students will wear their t-shirts as a symbol of pride and a year-round trophy for their achievement. If you choose to be a sponsor, your business logo will be displayed on the back of over 800 t-shirts! Also, your business will be recognized as a special school partner in front of many of our parents and spectators when they come to cheer on their students, as well as on our school website and newsletter.
