Back-2-School Night = Success

A Huge THANK YOU to all of our teachers for putting on an amazing back to school night last night for A, B, and C Track.  This event is for 2nd - 6th grades only and the parents that came, their students will each earn a special STAR bead for their Leader in Me Lanyard. (the teacher will hand these out in school on Friday August 1)


The Principal and Vice Principal both introduced themselves, and the PTA President and Fun Run Committee Presented the goals for this year.

If you would like to be a member of the Utah PTA you can still do that by paying $6 to Midas Creek PTA and filling out the envelope in your back to school packet.

ALSO- Midas Creek T-Shirts are for sell! Order sheets for the T-Shrits can be found in your back to school packet as well, and need to be in by the end of September. Every Friday will be Midas Creek Spirit Day, to wear their shirts, or Teal, Black, or Silver (or school colors)

ONE LAST THING- Volunteers, we need parents like you to volunteer at our school. We have found that if we can just get names and emails of people willing to come, we can send just ONE big email and then if it's a time you can volunteer then you reply, if it's not then just delete the email....IT'S THAT EASY....You don't have to be in charge, we just need people here to help. If you would like to get on our ONE big email list please email Jen Johnson our Executive Secretary.

D-Track Back To School Night will be on August 28.

"Leader in Me" at Midas Creek Elementary

This year the Principal is focusing goals for our school around "Leader In Me" 

The students will receive treasures (beads) as incentive to continue to use the 7 habits in school. 

This is the book that the Leader in Me program is based around and would be a great addition to your students library.
