  12/23/22   Happy Friday Trailblazer families,   These last 3 days have been full of wonderful learning and fun here at Diamond Creek!  This morning the students were greeted by the Diamond Creek Staff Carolers!  We even had Buddy and Papa Elf join in on the festivities!  We kept the music going with our Music Ensemble performance this morning!  Many thanks to Ms. Dow and her wonderful musicians!  It was a very special way to spend our last morning of 2022 together.     TRAILBLAZER MARKET AND TOY DRIVE UPDATE In the last two weeks, the PTC gave $280.00 in “market dollars” to teachers to give out to students who showed kindness and leadership.    The market was able to raise $2,800.00 for the Diamond Creek Toy Drive. Amazing!  We could not have done it without the help of our volunteers.  Amy Kimura Sara Bye Staci Strickland Amanda Konyndyk Amy Wilson Carrie Lowe Desiree Ornelas Erin Garcia  Haylie Stacy Jay...
