Upper El Winter Market

Creek Campus | 9607 Brodie Ln. Austin, TX 78748
Upper El Classes
Our Upper Elementary Classes invite you to their Winter Market event on Friday, December 12, 2025, from 9:30-11:30 a.m. 

This beloved tradition is a student-led shopping, crafting, and snack-selling fundraiser designed to foster autonomy and encourage charitable giving. This year, all proceeds will be supporting Austin Bicycle Meals. Our Upper Elementary students chose, presented on, and thoughtfully voted for this cause!

All elementary students will visit the market in the morning by classroom. If you send your student with cash (about $3-$10), please put it in a plastic baggie (sandwich size is great) with their first name, last name, and classroom written on it in permanent marker. This is a cash-only event (no Venmo).
 
Thank you for your support of this wonderful organization and our student efforts. We'd love to see you! Please see below for some frequently asked questions.

 
 

What types of items are for sale and for how much?

Our Upper El students created all items for sale. This includes crafts like bookmarks, candles, and knitted goods. It also includes food like brownies and pastries priced between $1 and $10.

How should my child bring money?

Students and families may purchase with cash only. We ask that students bring their cash to school in a plastic baggie (sandwich size is great) with their first name, last name, and classroom written in permanent marker. A suggested amount to bring to school is $3-$10.

Where will the Winter Market happen on Campus?

We will be outdoors in the Thunderbird classroom (the Thunderbird Thicket), rain or shine. 

When will my student visit? Can I come, too?

Elementary students will be able to visit with their classes during the day. Creek parents/guardians are also welcome to stop by between 9:30 and 11:30 a.m.

You do not need to sign in at the desk if you come to this event.

If I come, where should I park?

If the school’s lot is full, please park in the Randall’s Parking lot. Do not park at Goodwill, Cleopatra Records, or other local business parking lots, as they will tow your car and call the school to complain. 

What if it’s raining?

This event will be rain or shine. If it’s cold, please dress for the weather! 

Do students choose where the proceeds go?

Yes! Our Upper Elementary students work together to determine where proceeds go. 

Do Upper Elementary students make all the gifts?

Yes, our students make the gifts (sometimes with some parent support). We are so thankful for their hard work!
