Good morning Sand Creek parents and students;
This morning we had a medical emergency in the Sand Creek Jr/Sr High School building. The school building went into a “Secure Mode” while our school nurse, our school MERT (Medical Emergency Response Team) and EMS responded to the situation. “Secure Mode” means that all students remained in their classroom and were not allowed in the hallways.
Everyone is doing fine at this time.

o JV Baseball vs Whiteford
o JH track practice

The PTO Raffle Ticket fundraiser is well underway. Students not intending to sell their packet of tickets are encouraged to return them to school as soon as possible. This is important for two reasons:
First the PTO is responsible to account for all tickets – sold and unsold – for their raffle license through the state.
Secondly, returning unsold tickets will give students wanting to sell additional tickets the opportunity to do so.
