Thank You Student Council!

Student council drove in a caravan of cars driven by parents to the food pantry. They went to help stock the shelves with 13,000 plus items collected during the annual CVES food drive. Parents and teachers accompanied these dedicated students. 

Thank you to everyone who donated, time, money and nonperishable goods. What a wonderful way to share with less fortunate families.

Academic Bowl CVES and Webb Bridge

CVES hosts Webb Bridge Middle School this morning in our Media Center for
the first fall event.  Here are some photos from our friendly academic competition with WBMS! 

The Creek View Academic Bowl Team had a banner year in 2008-2009!  We placed 1st in Georgia in both of our Knowledge Master Open competitions, and were recognized twice by the Fulton County Board of Education.  We also did very well in the Math Olympiad and Thinking Cap Quiz Bowls. Practices have begun, and it look like we are going to have another fantastic year!  Please note that regular practices end at 3:30, and extended practices end at 4:30.
For more information visit Ms. Becker's Academic Bowl pages.

The Thursday Post for November 12

Dear Parents,

We hope to see our entire Creek View family at the Fall Festival/Carnival this Saturday.  The weather is going to cooperate, ensuring a wonderful outdoor-family-event. Please enjoy the fruits of our collective labors by visiting all of the classroom booths, and the many other exciting activities for children. The students are very excited about the prospect of seeing their friends and teachers on the weekend! Creek View is collecting food items for the North Fulton Community Charities. Please allow your student to bring canned fruits and vegetables, boxed meals, plastic containers of peanut butter and jellies, cereals, quart ziplock bags, and diapers.  Anything non-perishable is welcomed. Student Council members are in the rotunda daily to collect and store items.  Thanks for supporting this worthwhile cause.  The NFCC is serving about 125 families each day through the food bank. Please take the time to read the invitation to the Internet Safety program. This is an issue of concern to every parent and student in the digital age. We hope to see you at the parent session.

• Idling costs you money

A popular misconception is that idling your car uses less gas than turning it off and restarting. The truth is, if you are going to be sitting more than 30 seconds, it is more fuel efficient to turn your engine off. Idling also causes more wear and tear on engine parts.

Please support Creek View’s No-Idling Zone and turn your car off while waiting to pick up your child(ren). Then we can all breathe easier. To learn more about air pollution, its effects and what you can do, visit CleanAirCampaign.org.
