Warm Town Hall Reception for CVES Grade 3

Students in 3rd grade are studying 'The Roots of Democracy'. As the school buses carried them from Fire Station to Public Safety and on to the Municipal Court and finally to the Town Hall in downtown Alpharetta, students learned first hand how the local government operates. Several children noticed the new Corinthian-style columns being erected on the bank at the corner of Old Milton and Haynes Bridge. Identifying Greek architecture is also a 3rd grade standard! One of the highlights from the town hall meeting was the opportunity for students to sit in council seats and to press the voting buttons which register on a board for the audience to view. The large group topped off this wonderful adventure with a picnic at Wills Park. On the return home, students remarked about the 911 center, seeing a real tazer, Mr. Rogers in handcuffs, the judge pounding his gavel, the smoke in the smoke house, the comprehensive living quarters in the fire house and much more. Please be advised that your tax dollars really are hard at work. We are grateful to the many city of Alpharetta employees who helped make this trip an enjoyable, educational experience for our students. What a wonderful town we live in!

 Did you know 15 girls from Creek View are running a 5K race with their families on November 14th?  These dedicated young ladies have been training after school two days a week since the beginning of the semester! On November 14th, they will put their practice into purpose and compete in the New Balance Girls on the Run Fall 5K. The race is open to everyone, so please consider coming out to run, walk, or stroll in support of the Creek View Girls on the Run Club! Click here for details: Girls on the Run Fall 5K


The Creek View family loves their dogs and we are very lucky to have Paisley as part of that family. However, it is our policy that family pets are not permitted on campus without prior approval by administration. We appreciate your cooperation with this issue. We all have pets we love and adore, but we ask that you leave them at home when you come visit CVES.

Raise Funds for Music Education through the Fulton Arts and Music Expo

Strike up the band! The Fulton County School System is putting on a show-stopping event to raise funds for music education! On November 6, the first-ever Fulton Arts & Music Expo – or FAME – will take place at North Springs Charter High School. Award-winning marching bands, orchestras, jazz bands and choruses from all across Fulton will perform to large crowds, and professional Atlanta musicians will lead skills clinics for students and perform mini-concerts. Kid-friendly activities will entertain the young ones while music lovers will experience sights and sounds that delight the ears.


FAME is sponsored by the Fulton Education Foundation, the Fulton County School System and Music Matters to raise funds for student scholarships for the elementary band/orchestra after-school program as well as other music education initiatives. Tickets are on pre-sale for $10 before the event (children 5 and under are free) and are $15 the day of the event. Rain or shine, this event promises to be a day of fun for the whole family.
