Our Mission
We are committed to helping others and instilling the virtue of community responsibility among the Silver Creek students, staff, administration, parents, and community. We are dedicated to directly involving the Silver Creek students in each charitable project in order to allow them to experience the great joy of giving. While appreciating all we have and expressing gratitude, we are dedicated to reaching out to others in need, empowering them to achieve their greatness, and creating a positive impact on the world. The Giving Committee appreciates your support and donations!

Backpack & School Supply DriveThis event begins at the end of each school year and concludes near the start of a new school year. Backpacks (new and gently used) are donated and filled with donated school supplies. The backpacks are then delivered to other schools in Adams 12 who have students lacking these basic school necessities.

Quarters for TurkeysStudents love this event, which is held during the month of November. Each student is asked to bring in one quarter anytime from November 1-18th to put in our turkey jug, located in the SCE lobby. All quarters collected are presented to a local food bank in the area to allow the food bank to provide turkeys for the holiday season.

Operation Book Donation Operation Book Donation shares the gift of reading with students who may not have books of their very own. Each student brings in one new book by the first week of December. The book purchased should be appropriate for your child’s age and grade level. Each new book will be specially wrapped by the students during their classroom holiday parties. Members of the Giving Committee deliver the books to another Adams 12 elementary school.
Scholastic Reading Club is a great resource for finding quality books at reasonable prices. Teachers send book club order forms in November for delivery in time for Operation Book Donation. We also collect donations of wrapping paper, cards, envelopes and tape are also needed to wrap the donated books. |
Field Day Bake SaleProceeds from our Field Day Bake sale, held in May, are either used to help purchase discounted school supplies for our backpack drive or to support a Silver Creek family in need. Families bring in baked goods and snacks for the sale. Both parents and students love shopping the sale during Field Day!
