UPDATED 8/12/2019: The final playdate will remain at Stipek Park, at 1:30pm on Tuesday, August 20th.
We checked if we could host it at the school, but the district did not want any events there at all. Hope to see you at the last playdate! AND at the Ice Cream Social on Wednesday, August 28th (more info).
Canyon Creek PTA would like to welcome your family to our school community! Our mission (displayed at the top of the website) is to help provide an environment of community, learning and fun - through after school enrichment programs, bringing art to every classroom through are Art Docent program, fun evening events and more!
One specific program that is aimed directly at incoming kindergarteners and their families is our Summer Fun Kindergarten Playdates! We arrange a number of play dates over the summer intended to get new kindergarteners to meet each other, play together and hopefully make friends before school starts - making those first weeks of school easier!! Also, for parents to meet other incoming kindergarten parents and maybe exchange info and have their own playdates - and get to know other families that will be at Canyon Creek!! We will have a few "expert" parents at the events to help answer questions about the basics of how things work, etc.
Here is our schedule for the Summer Fun Playdates:
Stipek Park is a public park in Bothell, located at 1800 242nd St SE, Bothell, WA 98021. There is street parking available on 19th Avenue SE and 242nd Street SE. This park has a playground, swings, restrooms, basketball court, and a grass field - with walking paths.
Find our Facebook Event for these playdates.
To stay informed about the summer activities (changes due to weather, etc), we encourage you to get signed up for our Summer Fun Playdate Facebook group and the Summer Playdate reminders. They both will provide updates, but have their own advantages.
Simply text @ccptaplay to the number 81010.
Another idea is to sign up for our weekly PTA newsletter, the Coyote Howler.
And of course, you can always check out our website!!
We are here for you-- to answer questions, share information, and hopefully make the new adventure of kindergarten a little easier! Come to the playdates, ask questions. Join the FB group, ask questions. We hope to talk to you soon!
Questions about the playdates? Contact our Summer Fun chair, Patty Buchanan.
