FCPS Community

Our elementary school believes in the power of mentorship to shape and inspire the lives of young minds. We understand that positive role models can make a significant difference in a child's academic, social, and personal development. To nurture this potential, we are actively seeking dedicated individuals who are interested in becoming mentors for our students. By becoming a mentor, you will be contributing to: Academic Guidance: Assist students with their studies, helping them overcome challenges and celebrate academic achievements. Personal Development: Foster self-confidence, resilience, and a growth mindset in students, guiding them through personal challenges and milestones. Social Skills: Help students develop essential interpersonal skills, teaching them the value of empathy, communication, and collaboration. Future Aspirations: Inspire students by sharing your experiences, knowledge, and insights, helping them envision and work towards a brighter future. Whether you have prior experience in mentoring, a passion for education, or a genuine desire to make a positive impact on the next generation, we invite you to consider this fulfilling role. Together, we can create a supportive environment where every student feels valued, understood, and empowered.

Our staff consists of 45 certified teachers and 50 support staff members. They always feel loved and supported when community members bring in breakfast and lunch treats for them.

Our school is seeking volunteers to help us get our debate team up and running. As a school that focuses on leadership development, we want to instill in our students that their voices are the most powerful leadership tool they have.

We are in need of fidgets for our scholars. Fidgets that you can squeeze, chew, twist, etc... These fidgets help reduce stress and anxiety in children and help improve work habits. We use these fidgets every day for all scholars and the supply dwindles quickly. I am including a few examples from Amazon to give you an idea of what we need. Along with the fidgets we need some weighted blankets ( small size) and weighted plushy animals. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I would love to build up a supply that can last for this school year. https://www.amazon.com/Tempcore-Weighted-Blanket-Breathable-Material/dp/B07Y37NPR1/ref=sr_1_43?crid=2W7QQNRKMDME1&keywords=weighted+blanket+for+anxiety+10lb&qid=1695735696&sprefix=weighted+blanket+for+anxity%2Caps%2C100&sr=8-43 https://www.amazon.com/sspa/click?ie=UTF8&spc=MTozOTk0Mjc1MzU0MTAyNjMzOjE2OTU3MzcwMjk6c3BfYXRmOjMwMDA0MzMxMzQ5OTYwMjo6MDo6&url=%2FCartoon-Stuffed-Animals-Plushie-Pillows%2Fdp%2FB093795BBT%2Fref%3Dsr_1_2_sspa%3Fcrid%3D29RUQ9ERQFHIH%26keywords%3Dweighted%2Bplushies%26qid%3D1695737029%26sprefix%3Dweighted%2Bplush%252Caps%252C121%26sr%3D8-2-spons%26sp_csd%3Dd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY%26psc%3D1 https://www.amazon.com/OurHonor-Weighted-Stuffed-Animals-Plushie/dp/B0BYRSC2YG/ref=sr_1_8?crid=29RUQ9ERQFHIH&keywords=weighted+plushies&qid=1695737029&sprefix=weighted+plush%2Caps%2C121&sr=8-8 https://www.amazon.com/sspa/click?ie=UTF8&spc=MTozOTk0Mjc1MzU0MTAyNjMzOjE2OTU3MzcwMjk6c3BfbXRmOjMwMDAyNTExMTgzMTUwMjo6MDo6&url=%2FDoireum-Weighted-Stuffed-Valentine-Christmas%2Fdp%2FB0C7PVDPGN%2Fref%3Dsr_1_11_sspa%3Fcrid%3D29RUQ9ERQFHIH%26keywords%3Dweighted%2Bplushies%26qid%3D1695737029%26sprefix%3Dweighted%2Bplush%252Caps%252C121%26sr%3D8-11-spons%26sp_csd%3Dd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9tdGY%26psc%3D1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YHL9FSR/?coliid=I35A31BIUTQG6G&colid=2KT9LTUFT8W8L&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_gv_ov_lig_pi_dp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07211MWH3/?coliid=IWBDY375C8LQ6&colid=2KT9LTUFT8W8L&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_gv_ov_lig_pi_dp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0956YQS97/?coliid=I6PVQPGCZU36L&colid=2KT9LTUFT8W8L&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_gv_ov_lig_pi_dp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZ6XFP6V/?coliid=I3ABA2BKP6EHZ1&colid=2KT9LTUFT8W8L&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_gv_ov_lig_pi_dp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0816FMYZV/?coliid=I2BT9R587EUZ1H&colid=2KT9LTUFT8W8L&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_gv_ov_lig_pi_dp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MPZM6Z2/?coliid=I2YEAKP45UQ7IP&colid=2KT9LTUFT8W8L&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_gv_ov_lig_pi_dp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C22Y592W/?coliid=I3EG2765K330BM&colid=2KT9LTUFT8W8L&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_gv_ov_lig_pi_dp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CY9KCGT/?coliid=I182MJ3VRN992S&colid=2KT9LTUFT8W8L&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_gv_ov_lig_pi_dp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7M2WYS2/?coliid=I229R2YHBSSQ0G&colid=2KT9LTUFT8W8L&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_gv_ov_lig_pi_dp https://www.amazon.com/Squishy-Sensory-Squeeze-Colorful-Decompress/dp/B0BFL8PZBW/ref=sr_1_5?crid=94J11DNWER88&keywords=sensory+squeeze+ball&qid=1695737185&sprefix=sensory+sque%2Caps%2C111&sr=8-5 https://www.amazon.com/Power-Your-Fun-Stress-Adults/dp/B0C2YFVRZM/ref=sr_1_6?crid=94J11DNWER88&keywords=sensory+squeeze+ball&qid=1695737185&sprefix=sensory+sque%2Caps%2C111&sr=8-6 https://www.amazon.com/sspa/click?ie=UTF8&spc=MTo5ODIxNTA4OTkyNDk2MzM6MTY5NTczNzE4NTpzcF9zZWFyY2hfdGhlbWF0aWM6MjAwMDA1NzcwNTcyMzcxOjoyOjo&url=%2FImpresa-Products-Spiky-Sensory-Balls%2Fdp%2FB01N63C2MN%2Fref%3Dsxin_16_pa_sp_search_thematic_sspa%3Fcontent-id%3Damzn1.sym.1c86ab1a-a73c-4131-85f1-15bd92ae152d%253Aamzn1.sym.1c86ab1a-a73c-4131-85f1-15bd92ae152d%26crid%3D94J11DNWER88%26cv_ct_cx%3Dsensory%2Bsqueeze%2Bball%26keywords%3Dsensory%2Bsqueeze%2Bball%26pd_rd_i%3DB01N63C2MN%26pd_rd_r%3D04f88b25-3332-42d8-a1f0-3fbc9df46635%26pd_rd_w%3DRDaoq%26pd_rd_wg%3DQqgsS%26pf_rd_p%3D1c86ab1a-a73c-4131-85f1-15bd92ae152d%26pf_rd_r%3DMH0J6E7JTP2ZBQQPNPZW%26qid%3D1695737185%26sbo%3DRZvfv%252F%252FHxDF%252BO5021pAnSA%253D%253D%26sprefix%3Dsensory%2Bsque%252Caps%252C111%26sr%3D1-3-364cf978-ce2a-480a-9bb0-bdb96faa0f61-spons%26sp_csd%3Dd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9zZWFyY2hfdGhlbWF0aWM%26psc%3D1

We are looking for volunteers who are knowledgeable in designing community gardens to assist in the planning, and implementation of a community garden.

Our primary students in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd use primary composition notebooks to create and illustrate their stories. We are always in need for these items.

What did teachers ever do before Expo markers? Our teachers and students use Expo markers each and every day. We are always in need of both thick and thin tipped black and colored Expo markers.

Gone are the days where students had only black, brown, and peach crayons to use draw themselves and the people in their neighborhood. Our students herald from over 25 countries from around the world! With a 24- pack of multi-cultural crayons, students can draw and color every skin-color shade under the sun!

Our students are always in need of washable markers for their creative endeavors.

Millcreek is always in need for wide-ruled composition notebooks for our students. Our students go through several composition books each year.

We all know that a colored pencil provides just the right amount of effect we want our drawing to have and nothing else will do. Please help put as many art tools in our kiddos' hands by donating boxes of 12-count colored pencils.

1-subject spiral notebooks are great for two-way communication notes, practicing math facts, or creating a rough-draft of a 2-part play. These notebooks never go out of style!

Two-pocket folders are so versatile, they can be used to hold homework, make-up work, small group assignments, pretty much anything that involves loose paper. Some students use a folder for each subject area!

Post-it notes are so versatile that it's difficult to think what they are not used for. Both students and teachers use Post-it notes of various sized and colors each day to facilitate their learning.

Our school rewards students through our eOS system for following our L.E.A.D (Lead, Engage, Act, & Develop) expectations. Students earn eBucks which they get to spend at the end of the month at, you guessed it, our eStore! Small trinket items cost from 10-20 eBucks, and larger items that students have to save their money for can cost upwards of 300 eBucks. We need assistance in keeping our eStore stocked with snacks and popular age-appropriate toys.

Reading is the foundation to a successful life. Research supports the notion that the size of a child's home library drastically increases their academic success, vocabulary development, attention, and job attainment. Even if we love our eReader tablets, we love the feel of a book in our hands even more. Millcreek is very fortunate to have a book vending machine in our school. Our intention is to help our students develop a love of reading and to help build their first libraries. We are looking for donations of new and like-new age and content appropriate books to keep our book vending-machine well stocked.

We will soon be in the thick of another cold and flu season and we all know that students go through tissues faster than anything you've ever seen! We welcome any and all donations of tissue to carry us through the school year.

We are in need of one bed for a student.

We are in need of bottles for a premature baby.

Our school needs backpacks for students that will hold binders, chromebooks, etc.
