Dear Reidy Creek Families,

As we close trimester two and prepare for the last third of the school year, here are a few highlights from the week.

Fifth Grade Lunch and Learn:

Our fifth-grade lunch and learn was a success! After a presentation around digital safety highlighting the risks of technology and helpful strategies around communicating about technology at home, many fifth-grade families joined their children for a picnic in the courtyard! Our next lunch and learn will be for third-grade families on Wednesday, March 5th, at 11:30. The presentation will focus on the State Testing (CAASPP) that students will take in reading and math during May. The presentation will be from 11:30-12:00 in the MPR, followed by lunch in the courtyard.

Kids Heart Challenge:

Our Kids Healthy Heart Challenge was a success! Thank you for your incredible generosity and support in making our community heart-healthy while helping others. Click here for a BIG Thank You from Heart Heroes across the US! During our Friday assembly, we celebrated all the hard work our students accomplished over the past three weeks!

• 209 students joined the Reidy Creek team

• 45 students completed Finn’s Mission

• 80 families learned hands-only CPR

• 68 families learned the warning signs of a stroke

Also, because we exceeded our school-wide goal of $3,000, five students got to silly string Coach Zook, Coach Vieaux, and myself!

Classified Employee of the Year

We also had the privilege of honoring our classified employee of the year this morning! Mrs. Lupe Gomez, our office manager, has been a dedicated member of the Reidy Creek staff since 2022, bringing over 15 years of experience in EUSD. She is an invaluable part of our school community, ensuring our office runs smoothly with her exceptional organization, efficiency, and professionalism. Beyond her technical skills, she is known for her warm and welcoming presence, always going above and beyond to support staff, students, and families. While much of her work happens behind the scenes, her impact is felt throughout the school. We are honored to recognize Mrs. Lupe Gomez as this year’s Classified Employee of the Year!

Have a wonderful weekend,

Megan Loh

Principal
