Let the Holidays begin....

This week at the creek has been filled with performances, holiday activities, sing-a-longs and more.  The students are all excited about the two-week vacation, and I dare say that most of the staff is excited as well.

As we are at the Christmas time of year and the end of 2017, it's time to reflect on what has happened and what we look forward to in 2018.  As Dr. Muri said in his e-mail to the SBISD staff, "On the first day of school, we gazed skyward excitedly to observe the first total solar eclipse across America in nearly a century. Four short days later, we looked skyward once again with worry, having no idea what was about to befall us as Hurricane Harvey headed our way. We also gazed into the sky observing baseballs as our Astros hit home run after home run to win the World Series! Just last week, we delighted in the brief snow shower that left our city glistening in the morning sunlight."  This semester we have seen the RCE community unite together to accomplish great things for the community and for the students.  The holiday season continued with concerts, performances, and our annual sing-a-long as well as the amazing class parties.

A new event this December was Career Day.  A big thank you to the Dads who gave up a day of work to share their careers.  It was an amazing day and I think we have encouraged students to study math and science by having the dads share.  Below are some photos and links to movies from that day.  (Some of the movies will be linked soon - still editing the videos!)

Below are also photos and videos of events around the school this last week......including Stratford Orchestra visit, violin performance, and sing-a-long activities.

Have a very Merry Christmas - enjoy your friends and family - We'll see you back in 2017.
