Back-to-School Playdate 8/27/16

Join us for a Back to School Pop-Up Play Date from 3:00 – 5:00pm on Saturday, August 27, 2016.  See old friends and make some new ones; all new and returning families welcome. We are meeting at Druid Hill Park, one of our great community gems in Park Heights, and we’ll post back with the specific meet-up location shortly (it will be one of the playgrounds). We can’t wait to see you!

(If you are planning on donating school supplies and this is a convenient time to bring them, we can receive them during the play date. However, no requirement, and you can just bring yourselves!)



VOLUNTEER

Volunteers are very important to us at Creative City!

Current volunteer needs include:

  • Front Desk Support – answer phones and greet guests during our Secretary’s lunch break ( roughly 11:45 – 12:30 daily) and on occasional days when she is not at work.  Front Desk volunteers should have comfort on the phone and enjoy working with people!
  • Data Entry / Administrative Support – help in our enrollment office to process lottery applications (data entry), create flyers for events, and help with light phone calling or other work.  Volunteers should be very comfortable working on the computer and have excellent attention to detail.
  • Student Outreach – help spread the word about opportunities with our school by distributing literature to area businesses and organizations, staffing tables at outreach events, or doing other community outreach activities
  • Special Projects – help with occasional special projects including sorting coats and hats during coat swap, sorting food during food drive, collecting & sorting used books for redistribution, etc.
  • Join a Committee! – in addition to the work above, many active committees support Creative City’s work on an ongoing basis.  Committees include:
      • Facilities (including work with our Outdoor Classroom, Farm & Garden)
      • Fundraising
      • Climate & Attendance
      • Teaching & Learning
      • … and more

We also welcome and value classroom volunteers. To volunteer in a classroom, please initiate a conversation with your child’s classroom teacher.  If you do not have a child here at school and would like to inquire about volunteering in a classroom, please use the contact information below.

All repeat volunteers who work directly with students will be required to undergo a background check.

To inquire about volunteering or joining a committee, contact Marisa Canino at MCanino@bcps.k12.md.us or 443-642-3602.



BEFORE & AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES

BEFORE & AFTER SCHOOL CARE

We are excited to announce a continued partnership with United Education Corp (UEC) for fee-based Before & Aftercare onsite at Creative City beginning in Fall 2015.  Before care from 7-8a, and aftercare until 6:30pm will be offered, with daily programming in Art and Sports.  They are a seasoned provider with 14 years of experience at the nearby Mt. Washington School, and have an excellent partnership with our friends at City Neighbors.  More information including rates here.

CLUBS

Our options for after-school clubs are growing.  We currently offer Girl Scouts and our Peace Club.  Contact Latrice Brown at 443-642-3600 or LLBrown01@bcps.k12.md.us for more information.  Have an idea for a new club?  Let us know!
