Principal's Message - May 2022
Our last full month of school is upon us and I am hopeful that our weather will begin to get a little nicer. This is a great time of year for outdoor activities and fun in the sun!
The first week of May is Teacher Appreciation Week! I want to give a huge shout out to all of our teachers at Kelly Creek. They work incredibly hard for our students and the community. Their commitment to excellence is commendable and I am very proud of the hard work that they are doing each and every day in their classrooms.
On May 27th we are hosting our first Movie Night at Kelly Creek since March 2020! It will be great to see families back at KCES for a Movie Night. Doors open at 6:00 and the movie will start at 6:30!
Thank you to our fabulous PTC Group for all the fun activities you have planned for our students, staff, and community. April and May are busy months for our PTC planning the Jog-a-Thon, Saturday Market, Movie Night, Connect to Kindergarten, Teacher Appreciation Week, etc. We are so thankful for everything that you do to support our students and staff!
I hope everyone has a fabulous month and stay tuned for our last newsletter of the year - a lot of activities and events are happening in June in celebration of an amazing school year!
If you ever have any questions or concerns, I can be reached via email at maranto2@gresham.k12.or.us or via phone at 503.663.7483.
Best wishes,
Sam Maranto
Principal
