Dear Willow Creek Families, Today is the day!
We are so excited to welcome you to our school for our Annual Family Thanksgiving Luncheon.
Here are a few quick details to keep in mind for today:
Meal Cost: Meals are $5 each for visitors (please bring cash). Students will be charged as usual to their regular lunch accounts.
Didn't Sign Up? No problem at all! You are still completely welcome to join your child—just bring a cold lunch from home so you can sit together and enjoy the time. We needed RSVP's to know how much food to prepare. If you do not want to eat and just want to enjoy the time that is fine too!
Check-In: Please remember to check in at the main office when you arrive. We look forward to sharing a meal and celebrating the season with our Willow Creek community today!
