Dear parents, students, and school community:
Another impressive week at The Creek! Students and staff continue to work hard each day to be better than the day before. Sometimes that is a little tougher on some days than others, but I am extremely proud of our Gator Grit!
We will take time to celebrate students for their growth and achievement in MAP. Teachers have met with students to discuss their individual targets and opportunities to improve their academic performance, so we will recognize them for their efforts!
Enjoy this week's newsletter and take particular note of the calendar of events. Every day is important so let's be sure to make each day count! Stay safe and healthy, and here's to another great week at The Creek! GOOOOOOOOOOO GATORS!
Yours in service,
Principal Clayton B. Moton
