Literacy Week is next week. Take a look at the fun days coming up at Spring Creek Charter as we celebrate!
Do you know or own a business or organization that would like to participate in Spring Creek's annual Career Day? If so please reach out. We are looking for 10 more to add to our growing list to teach students about different careers. Career Day is expo style in which the children visit tables and ask questions about careers. Businesses bring things that relate to their jobs to display and peak the interest of students.

Spring Creek Charter Family Day is approaching! We are excited to see our families come to eat with their children. Here are some reminders for the big day:
Reminder on Early Release Days this week:
Spring Creek Charter Look for the Awesome Awards for December are in! Congrats to all!!!
Kelly Ferrie presented the first Awesome Award for December for two outstanding individuals and their team who are vital to ensuring the safety and well-being of our students as they travel to and from school on the bus. A majority of Spring Creek students use our buses as transportation to and from school. With the commitment and knowledge of these two team leaders we have created a safe and efficient transport system for our children. These ladies not only lead a team of bus drivers but they also communicate with other departments on campus, service buses, crunch numbers in the FOCUS system for transportation federal funding during FTE season, and build relationships with students and families. They have taken on the role of leadership as a team and work collaboratively to make sure SCCS buses run successfully and safely. Congratulations, Debbra Gunnels and Midge Thomas–We appreciate you and your whole team of drivers!
The second Awesome Award was presented by the Kindergarten team to SCCS music teacher, Peggy Holland, who wears many hats to include: teaching music and band classes, organizing concerts , showcasing student music talent in parades, leading the chorus, and providing the school with family engagement opportunities including our school Veteran's Day Program and Kindergarten Snow Show.
The following is the heartfelt message the Kindergarten Team presented at the meeting:
"When thinking about the person that we wanted to give this award to, the song “Miss United States” from Miss Congeniality came to mind. We enrolled the help of chatGPT to change the lyrics of the song to fit our person and it somehow perfectly hit what we were all thinking. We will NOT be singing today, so use your imagination when I read this:
“From the classroom to the stage,
Inspiring minds of every age,
With every note and melody,
Unlocking creativity.
She teaches us to find our voice,
To sing, to play, to make a choice,
To let the music set us free-
A gift for all eternity!
She’s our music teacher great,
Guiding us to harmonize and celebrate.
Through every tune, she elevates,
She’s our teacher, so first rate!”
Ms. Holland, we appreciate all of your hard work. You are part of the awesome that we love to see!"
Reminder: All dental permission forms that went home with students last week are due tomorrow Friday, December 13th for our school nurse to schedule appointments for students.
