Please do not send in picture order envelopes! 

It is too late for students to turn in their class picture payment envelope as these had to be given to the photographer on the day of the photo shoot. When class pictures come in (in about 3 weeks), IF there are extras,  homeroom teachers will collect the payment envelope ($13) and give the student a picture.

Thursday Post for April 1

Happy Spring Break to All!

The Creek View Garden Club and the CVES Brownie Troop 3801started a butterfly garden just outside of the Outdoor Classroom! The Girl Scouts provided all kinds of supplies. The tilled the soil and discovered it was rich with worms. They built toad homes to encourage toads. It's an exciting work in progress. 

CRCT testing will begin begin on April 15. It runs 5 days, Wednesday-Friday the first week and Tuesday and Wednesday of the 2nd week. Students should get plenty of rest and have a healthy breakfast. They have a 10 minute break for snack during testing. Please make sure your child arrives on time to unpack, relax and get settled in as testing will start promptly at 8AM.

More about the Butterfly Garden....

Girl Scout Troop #3801 took on the Pink and Purple Butterfly Garden project with the long-term goal to have the garden certified as a National Wildlife Habitat.  Slowly but surely we will be adding features to meet all the criteria for the certification. The Troop paid for plants out of their Girl Scout cookies - selling fund and the Greenway Service Unit promised to match the amount.

Some of the plants were donated by parents, other materials were donations from Home Depot on Windward and Lowe's at John's Creek.  The troop's 20 girls - with the help of a few moms and siblings - transformed a former grass-covered area by digging up lawn and weeds, discovered hundreds of worms, and put in some 80 (many bare-root) plants.  Starbucks on Windward provided coffee grounds by the pound to add organic material to the soil and loosen it up.   The rocks that were found during digging were used to build toad houses and shelter for lizards. Creek View's Garden Club will do occasional maintenance such as weeding or watering. The children are very excited about the project and none of them wanted to stop working on Monday. We just need some rain now!
