THANK YOU, MRS. THOMASON
Jess Thomason heads to Rum River Elementary
Jess Thomason's last day at Sand Creek was Friday, January 6th. Our school community will miss her dearly, as she established herself as such a strong advocate for our Sand Creek Stars. Students and staff spent the day on Friday thanking her and wishing her well in her next assignment.
Our open assistant principal position will be shared between Rolf Carlson - retired principal from Oxbow Creek, and Kim (Pavlovich) Allen - retired principal from Johnsville & Jefferson. - while we begin the hiring process for a new assistant principal.

HOT COCOA READING CHALLENGE
Once again, students were encouraged to read over winter break. Those who participated are invited to a hot cocoa party in the cafeteria with Mr. Anderson and our literacy team. Sheets were due on Friday, January 6th, but by all means, turn it in tomorrow if you forgot! We are excited to celebrate with our Stars who chose to read over winter break! The party will be in the afternoon on Thursday, January 12th: 2:20pm for Grades K & 5, 2:40pm for Grades 3 & 4, & 3:00pm for Grades 1 & 2. Yum!
BOWLING ANYONE!?
Students in our DCD centerbase program, along with teachers & paras in the program, took a trip to Blainbrook Bowl on Wed. Dec. 21st. Our 5th grade ambassadors joined their peers in order to help make this trip a resounding success. Thanks to everyone for making this experience so positive for our Stars!
