Updates from our week at Diamond Creek 
This week I enjoyed walking through classrooms, seeing familiar faces in new classes and getting to know our new students to Diamond Creek.  It's exciting to see our students diving into good books and beginning 40 book challenges for the year! I can't wait to see how many books they end up reading.  I also spent time reading to all of our classrooms. This allows me time to share my love of reading and share some of my favorite books.  Thank you for sharing your children with us!

 W.A.T.C.H. Dogs
We are excited to bring W.A.T.C.H. Dogs to Diamond Creek this school year! W.A.T.C.H. Dogs is a school based program that works to get fathers involved in our schools to help support education and school safety.  We are looking for any fathers who are interested in helping lead this group by being one of our "Top Dogs".  We would love to have a group of five to six dads help kick this program off for us by helping with our Pizza Night kick of on Tuesday, September 26th at 6:00 PM.  Please email Mrs. Garcia if you are interested in hearing more about being a Top Dog!

 Girls on the Run
Not a runner? No problem! Girls on the Run is about so much more than running. Each season, coaches teach girls about friendships, standing up for themselves and others, giving back to their communities, and more! Learn how you can coach for Girls on the Run at Diamond Creek Elementary: www.gotrsac.org/coach or email Mrs. Garcia. We are looking for one more coach for our 2017-18 Girls on the Run season.

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...
