What's Coming Up This Week? May 15-19
Thank you to all of our families who came out for Open House and the Art Show last night. It was a great evening with music, art and smiling students! It was a joy to celebrate all of our students and teachers and their hard work this year.  Thank you to Mr. Carlos and his band for providing some great entertainment!

We also had a successful spring fundraiser last weekend and raised over $13,000 for our students and teachers and Diamond Creek. A huge thank you to our Spring fundraiser committee that helped put this amazing evening together for our families. Thank you for all of your support! We are excited for the many opportunities our students will have at Diamond Creek with your help.

Good Luck to our Girls on the Run team this weekend! They will all run in a 5K to conclude the 3 month program they have completed.  We had one Girls on the Run team this year and it was a huge success! Our girls not only had the opportunity to run together but they learned many meaningful lessons along the way about positive self talk, positive self esteem and feeling good about who they are!  A huge thank you to our parent volunteers, Kendall Petersen and Kelly O'Keefe, who volunteered to coach our team this year.

Updates from our week at Diamond Creek  Thank you to all of our parents for taking time to meet with your child's teacher this week.  Our teachers appreciate this face to face meeting time with you.  We are all a team working together to help each child at Diamond Creek be successful and your support is such an important piece of the puzzle.  Thank you for your time and support! On Tuesday, we were lucky enough to have our local Fire Department visit us and lead us through a fire safety assembly.  The students learned what to do in the case of a fire and were able to see the transformation that happens when our firefighters put on all of their gear.  On Wednesday, we had a building wide "READING DRILL".  We all stopped, dropped and read! It was a delight to see students throughout our whole building reading for 15 minutes all together.  I had so many students afterwards tell me they wished it was longer and ask if we could do that everyday!

  9/9/2022   Happy Friday Trailblazer families,   We completed our LEAD Passport adventure today.  Your children have now traveled to all 7 of our common areas to learn what it looks like to be great Listeners, be Empathetic, be Accountable and how to be Disciplined. Due to the smoke, we had them meet in their Village Meeting Spot and the presenters traveled to the students. These passports should have gone home with them today.  It would be wonderful to have them step into the role of being the teacher and share with you what they learned about each area’s expectations.     DC NEWS IS BACK Our Student Leadership under the direction of Ms. Triplett and Mrs. Lopez is back in action.  One of the projects they work on is our DC News.  Click HERE to see this week’s broadcast!     SPIRIT WEEK-GETTING READY FOR OUR WALK-A-THON We have a great week of school spirit ahead culminating with our Walk-a-thon on Friday, September 16t...
