End Of The Year Message from Principal Amy Rahne
WOW- I can't believe my second year as principal at Coyote Creek is coming to an end! It has been an interesting year but as I reflect on my time as the leader of this wonderful community, I couldn't be more thankful. The support for our staff has been overwhelming and much appreciated. The kids are happy and learning and have made tremendous progress this past year.
My wish for you is to find time to re-energize this summer as a family. Go to the pool, go for hikes, enjoy each other's company, play games, get outside, whatever it is that brings joy to your family. I will have the opportunity to watch my youngest daughter present at a national conference and then go to Disneyland with my husband; a small family reunion at a lake in Alabama; and a large family reunion at our farm in Northeastern Colorado. Being with family is what brings me joy so I plan to do a lot of that this summer.
I am so looking forward to a more normal year next year and continuing to bring back our community building activities- this is what fills my bucket and why I love being at a school. I hope you will continue to join us for these fun community building events and help us celebrate all of the great things about our neighborhood school. I hope to see you all on Friday, August 5th for our supply drop off and open house to meet your teachers.

Update - School Lunches for 22-23 School Year
