News from the Creek
Hippo Nation...Leave a Legacy! August 2021
A Note from your CCE Principal
Dear CCES Families--
I am excited to begin another year as the principal of Cottonwood Creek Elementary School and it is truly an honor to work alongside the best teachers, staff, students, and parents in Texas. Together we make a strong family that has student success at the forefront of every decision. Cottonwood Creek Elementary is excited to share our campus theme for the new school year: Just Be.
As our Hutto community continues to grow, all families and students will always be welcome to CCE! Our theme encompasses our values on diversity, inclusion, and acceptance of all students and families to our campus community! Our campus demographics continue to change and become more and more diverse and that is something to celebrate! We truly are each a different color of a rainbow or a different color in a Jumbo box of crayons! We love it!
Throughout the year, I look forward to meeting the new members of our community and creating deeper connections with those that continue to be a part of the Creek family. I encourage families to get to know each other and work alongside us at CCE. We appreciate your support as our students learn and grow with us. Let's all connect and have a wonderful year, this is the family community that we can establish to show our little "Hippos" how much we care about their futures. At CCE, the staff, teachers, and administrators are honored that you entrust us with your most precious gift- your children!
Cottonwood Creek Elementary has the BEST Staff, Students, and Families! We truly are going to "Leave a Legacy"! Our students are "Legendary" at Cottonwood Creek Elementary!
Join me in "Leaving a Legacy",
Linda Pachicano
Principal, Cottonwood Creek Elementary
Mr. Greg Althoff, Assistant Principal
Mrs. Valerie Kozak, Campus Counselor
Mrs. Stephannie Woelfel, Instructional Coach
