03:14We successfully started the year with our Parent University events by partnering with MTSU to host family-focused activities. In January at MTSU’s Walker Library, families and students joined together and enjoyed a shared story time experience followed by an engaging scavenger hunt designed to build early literacy connections. It was wonderful to see families learning and exploring together. We are grateful for our continued partnership with Middle Tennessee State University this year as we work together to strengthen family engagement across our district. Several additional Parent University events are scheduled for this spring, with our next session taking place at the MTSU Dairy Farm. We would also like to recognize the community partners who help ensure our students have access to food through our Backpack Program and Food Pantry. Overall Creek Elementary led an outstanding schoolwide food drive this month, collecting a large number of snacks for our Backpack Program. This annual effort, organized by the school counselors, will allow us to fill hundreds of bags for students in need. We also appreciate the Murfreesboro Police Department for hosting a Mac and Cheese Drive this month to further support the program. Our Backpack program is successful due to the generosity of those who step up to support our students and families,we are thankful for every donation.
