💜GC Families💛:

It was so wonderful seeing both new and returning families at our Back to School BBQ and Supply Drop-Off!

We loved catching up, meeting so many new faces, and getting excited for the year ahead.

If you picked up a postcard or newsletter, make sure to hang onto it for important upcoming dates and QR codes, specifically for joining PTA!

Welcome back, Gordon Creek families! 🐾

We hope you had a fantastic summer and are as excited as we are to jump into a wonderful new school year! Whether you’re returning or joining our community for the first time, the Gordon Creek PTA is thrilled to welcome you.

🍔 Back-to-School BBQ & PTA Table (This Thursday, September 3rd)

We can’t wait to see everyone at the upcoming Back-to-School BBQ this Thursday! Be sure to stop by the PTA table while you're there—say hello, grab some info, and sign up for your 2026–2027 PTA Membership. Joining is one of the easiest ways to support our students, teachers, and school programs. It is a zero-commitment way to support our school! Signing up does not mean you have to chair an event, volunteer your time, or hold an officer position—it simply means your dues directly support our kids and staff.
