Dear CCPC,



Autumn is my favorite season—I love watching the leaves change and feeling the temperatures cool. October was spooktacular at CCPC as we celebrated Halloween with a festive trick-or-treating parade. Seeing all the photos of the costumes was such a treat!

The Pumpkin Patch Field Trips are always a highlight! I joined Creekside for a day of excitement at Butler’s Orchard, where I connected with parents and kids. The farm has added many engaging features, and the kernel pit was a huge hit! The field trip was the perfect way to kick off the fall season.

This month, we also started our Gross Motor classes. We welcomed Coach T from Just for Kids, and the children loved the interactive motor-development activities! We kicked off Yoga with Ms. Alissa, and the kiddos were able to find their Zen!

Our tours for the 2025–26 school year are already underway and will continue through January. We deeply appreciate referrals from our wonderful families, so please keep sharing your positive experiences with friends and neighbors!

CCPC Annual Fund

Generosity Knows No Bounds

2024 Annual Fund Campaign

We are excited to extend a heartfelt invitation to you to join us in our 2024 Annual Fund campaign, Generosity Knows No Bounds. This initiative is not just a campaign; it's a commitment to nurturing the potential of every child in our community at CCPC.

Each year, the CCPC Annual Fund plays an essential role in advancing our school’s strategic initiatives, enhancing campus facilities, and deepening our engagement with the community.

​

Generosity encompasses the core values of our community: Resilience, creativity, exploration, kindness and community. Your generosity not only enriches our school but also strengthens our entire community. Thank you for being such an integral part of our CCPC family.

Every gift of any size matters!

Creekside Outplacement Town Hall

CCPC Nursery School

Geneva Hall, Room 250

Creekside parents are invited to join a discussion featuring a panel of current and past CCPC parents with children who attend eleven different neighboring elementary schools.

Some questions that will be answered include...

1. Why did you choose this school?
2. What makes it a good fit for your child?
3. What do you like most about the school your child is currently enrolled in? 
4. What was the application process like for the child? (IE: interviews, etc.)
5. Is your school affiliated with any middle or high schools? 

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

With the change of season comes four-legged visitors looking for food on the ground and in trashcans.

We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our picnic grove free of food through the autumn and winter months. The playground remains a food-free space.

Please feel free to continue using the picnic grove for gathering without food.

CCPC Spirit Wear

Winter Coat Drive

November 12 - 22

What better way to help spread warmth and wrap our arms around those in need than to partner with Comfort Cases for a Coat(es) drive?

Donate a new or gently used child's coat in our lobby.

National Adoption Awareness Month begins on November 1, the same day that Comfort Cases and CNN's Laura Coates launch a "Coats for a Cause" new coat drive for those in need in the Washington, DC Metro Area.

"Coats for a Cause" will run from

November 12 through November 23, National Adoption Day – a day where courts across the country open fully for adoption proceedings, the most active day of the year for adoptions.
