| Denim Drive:
The denim drive will begin on September 22 and will end on October 23. During this time, we will be collecting new and gently used denim for RRISD school children between the ages of 3 to 18 years old. All donations will be given to RRISD Clothes Closet which serves the indigent of RRISD. As you are cleaning out closets for the new school year, please save the denim clothing (jeans, jackets, shirts and skirts) you no longer need.
Please place your washed denim in the designated bin in the hall by the office.

| Pay It Forward:
The Pay It Forward campaign has been designed to provide students an opportunity to better understand and appreciate the importance of community/volunteer service.
The goal of the Pay It Forward campaign is to allow students hands-on experience in making a significant difference in the lives of others. Through books, videos, class projects and parent guest speakers, the students will be exposed to many different ways we can all choose to serve others using our unique and creative talents.
The March of Dimes “March for Change” campaign will serve as the main example of how Canyon Creek students can “Pay it Forward” by collecting spare change that will be used to help fund the fight against premature birth and ensure a healthy start for all babies. If you have any questions, please contact Kelli Kelley at PayItForward@CanyonCreekPTA.com . |
