Shoal Creek Student Family Connection - 6/30 Edition

Hi Families, here’s your “need-to-know” info for your Buya and Crash Students:

1. “Fun Fridays” Every Friday In July - Shoal Creek is starting a relationship with the Clayview Terrace Apartment complex on Church Rd. We are going to do 5 kid-centered fun events every Friday from 11:00am-1pm in July to build relationships that we hope lead to “Homework Huddles” in the Fall of this school year. 

• Sign up for the THIS week’s “Fun Friday” here
• Find links to the other upcoming Fun Fridays here

2.  BIG NEED for our friends at Mission Adelante!  We told Mission Adelante we’d find resources to get 20 HS students backpacks for the fall to help them with their school, and unfortunately so far, we haven’t been able to come up with any. 

Would you think about being 1 of the 20 needed backpacks? If so, here’s a shopping list for you to pick up this weekend and bring with you on your day of serving:

• 1 – backpack with a laptop sleeve (our students are issued laptops at school and can not take them home without a backpack with a laptop sleeve in it)
• 1­ – 2 inch binder
• 1 – package of dividers
• 2 – packages college ruled notebook paper
• 2 – packages of #2 pencils
• 1 – package of ink pens
• 1 encouraging back­-to-­school message for the student receiving the backpack

Please message me BY THURSDAY if you can helpI

3. Special Plan for Buya and Crash Sunday Services for July 5th – Due to the amount of both volunteers and families out of town this Sunday July 5th, instead of having separately planned Buya and Crash services, we’re just going to open up The Attic for BOTH Buya and Crash students for BOTH services. We’ll have some snacks and hangout space set up and instead of doing anything “planned”, we’ll just stream the services live and provide a spot for any Buya or Crash student who’s still in town to hangout with each other for a low key, “just-for-fun” Sunday in The Attic (up the stairs across from the water fountains).

4. Crash Summer Small Group Times - Just a reminder, for this  summer small group session, times/places are:

• Girls - Wednesdays, 7:30am, at Morning Day Cafe (on north side of Liberty Square)
• Boys - This week, TONIGHT at 5:30pm-7pm, in the Underground at SC. (next week’s day/time will be announced similarly)

Here’s what’s available to students and how we communicate to student families weekly.

1. “Buya” program every Sunday, 9:30am and 11am in the Underground for all 6th-8th grade students.
2. “Crash” program every Sunday, 11am only, in the Attic for 9th-12th grade students.
3. Join the “Buya Parents” or the “Crash Parents” City groups if you want weekly info on upcoming events.
