Elsa is from Pirates and Princess Parties of Utah, and donated her time so Midas Creek could receive 100% of the proceeds. Huge Thank You to such a wonderful company.

Fun Run Pledge Highlights

We are excited that 100% of the money earned from the Fun Run will stay at Midas Creek Elementary. This year the money will go towards Fieldtrips, Assemblies, Field Day, Birthdays, Reflections, Student Recognition Awards and a whole lot more! 

Every student has received a free wristband from Talbot Orthodontics. The wristband is to remind the students of the theme RU Ready 2 Run and the date 9/18/2014. 

Every student should have also received a pledge envelope and information packet. (the office has extra packets but not extra wristbands) 

In the packet is a table that students can fill out with names and phone numbers of people they can call to pledge them in their 15 minute Run. There is also a script the students can use to call their friends, or family. Please encourage the students to call and ask, this is a great leadership opportunity for them. You can also ask doctors, dentists, orthodontics, realtors, dance teachers, ect. 

On the last page students should write down their goals, and try to achieve them. 

Every student that brings at least $15 in donations will receive a Midas Creek Water Bottle. 

The top three classes in each grade with the highest average in donations will receive an ice cream party. --you can follow your classes success at http://mcefunrun.blogspot.com

The top three students in each grade will receive a Midas Creek Medal, a prize package and be recognized in our closing assembly on September 23.

As a school we are trying to get a donation from all 50 states. You can go to  http://mcefunrun.blogspot.com to see what states we have received donations from.

Donations can be made online this year by clicking on the Fun Run Logo on the top left of this blog, and completing the payment with PayPal.

Thank You Again For Supporting Midas Creek Students

Meet our great new Assistant Principal, Dr. Jerri Mausbach

Hello Midas Creek Families,

My name is Jerri Mausbach. I am the Assistant Principal at Midas Creek for the 2014-2015 school year. I am also assigned to Silver Crest Elementary so I try to split my time evenly between the two schools. Typically I am at Midas Creek Tuesday, Thursday and every other Friday. It has been a delight getting to know your children, the fabulous staff and some of the families. The motivated, polite and kind students, the dedicated teachers and staff, supportive families and the devoted and ever creative PTA impress me. I am also very fortunate to have Mrs. Bona as a leader and mentor. This amazing team has the potential to help your most precious assets; your children, achieve ambitious goals this year!

I am fairly new to Utah and the Jordan School District, moving here in July of 2013, after spending 29 years with the Clark County School District in Las Vegas, Nevada. I served as a teacher for seven years there and spent the rest of my career as an administrator. My Master’s and Doctoral work was done at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I enjoyed my time with CCSD, but am thrilled with the opportunity to live in this beautiful state and work with a district that is clearly dedicated to doing what is best for all children. I recently purchased a new home, well new to me; the home itself is 90 years old! I enjoy spending time with friends and family, running (very slowly), reading, shopping and traveling. I also have appreciated exploring the city and all it has to offer, including the breathtaking outdoors!

In closing, I look forward to working with the Midas Creek learning community. I have much to learn about the Jordan School District, the city and state and am eager to get to know you and your children better.

Please introduce yourself if you see me out and about and let me know if I can be of any assistance or support to you or your children.

Sincerely,

Jerri Mausbach
