Welcome to our new Partner in Education, Andrew Kirk, Modern Woodmen Fraternal Financial. We are excited to have Mr. Kirk as a new partner.
Creekside continues to show me what a fantastic school and community it is every day. We were hit hard for a couple of weeks with lots of sick students, teachers, and staff. Every day teachers did whatever was necessary to cover classes and take care of kids. Nurse BethAnn worked tirelessly, treating every student like he/she was her own. She and Mrs. Lesley stayed busy calling parents as temperatures went up and tummy aches started. Our custodians continually cleaned and sanitized and I can't tell you how many times I heard a teacher say, "What can I do to help?"
I have created a new Creekside Elementary Instagram account and will start adding pictures I've taken throughout the year. Some will be pictures that I've already posted on Facebook and/or Twitter. This will be another way of sharing all the AMAZING work that teachers and students do at Creekside.

We're looking forward to a STRONG finish to a phenomenal school year! State Scantron testing and end of year DIBELS testing are right around the corner in April. We need everyone at school on time and ready to learn as we prepare to show that we're the best school in the state!
If I can be of any assistance, please let me know.
