Good Evening Deep Creek Families this is Principal McElroy with some important announcements.  Safety is a priority for us and I want to make you aware of an upcoming event. Schools across the nation are planning activities at their campus on Wednesday, March 14th to honor the memories of the students and staff at Stoneman Douglas High School. March 14th will mark exactly one month from when the tragic events took place. The Deep Creek School Family is planning to remember this event with a moment of silence at 10am on Wednesday, March 14th. This activity was planned with the input from our staff and families. It is very important to note that our number one goal is to remember and honor the memories of those individuals that lost their lives while doing so in a way that keeps your child safe and secure. As a school principal, I am expecting all students who wish to participate in this activity to be able to do so in a manner that keeps them safe. Students will not be allowed to leave the school building for any reason, such as in a walk-out, that puts them in a potentially unsafe situation. As always, we appreciate your support. On another note, please remember that snacks sent to school should be healthy and water bottles should only contain WATER. All other liquids can cause stains and attract ants. Our Jump Rope for Heart Event kicks off this week so please look for the information packet that is coming home with your child. Tuesday evening from 5-8pm we are hosting a spirit night at the McDonald's on Peachland and we hope to see you there. It is so nice for our Cubs to see their friends outside of school at our spirit nights and help our local businesses. Thank you again for your support. At Deep Creek, our Cubs are Ready, Responsible, and Respectful leaders.
