What an amazing week!

Thank you to Ms. Taylor, the Black Excellence program and Mr. Walcott's Ethnic literature classes for organizing and leading the Black History Month Unity March on Tuesday. Like International week, the Black History Month Unity March will become an honored tradition here at the Creek!

I also want to thank Ms. Torrez and our fabulous crew of students in student government that made this International Week a wonderful experience. Ms. Medina and her cafeteria staff worked with student government to ensure the cafeteria was serving an entree from each continent to help everyone get into the spirit of our continental cruise. Thank you to all of our staff and clubs that make the International Rally and Marketplace a fantastic opportunity for us to celebrate the many cultures represented in our Bear Creek community.

Sincerely-

Mrs. Hummel

Seniors who participate in graduation must meet Lodi USD graduation requirements and demonstrate good school behavior. Students suspended from school may be placed on a 45-day social probation. Students can also be placed on social probation for excessive tardies. This means students put on social probation within 45 school days of graduation and graduation practice will not be allowed to participate in the ceremony or other activities. We are getting close to being 45 days away from graduation, March 15th. (Board Policy 6145)

Seniors we will be having a Graduation Meeting during Bruin Tutorial in the large Gym Thursday March 14th. We will be going over important dates, forms that needs to be completed, and other important information. At this meeting you will also get a packet of information to take home and go over with your family. Please be there before 8:30 AM.
