CELC News & Updates
Hello Creekside Families,
I hope that everyone had a nice weekend! Our daughter's volleyball team participated in their first tournament since COVID-19. They took first place! I am so proud of how they played! Our last game of the day was against a really good team. It took them three sets but they pulled it off!
A special thanks to the Stormtrooper that made a special visit to our campus on May 4th. I think some of our parents enjoyed it more than the students! He did a great job greeting students and opening up doors. Did you know that Stormtroopers speak Spanish? Who would have known that they were bilingual. Some students were surprised to hear him speaking Spanish! Thanks again to my friend from a galaxy far, far away!
Thank you to the students and parents for all of the wonderful notes and goodies for Staff Appreciation Week. Happy Nurses' Day (May 6) for all of our parents and community members who chose a career of helping others. You are truly appreciated. May 9 - May 15 is Peace Officers Memorial Day and Police Week. Take a moment to honor someone who took the oath to protect and serve.
