Thursday Post For March 24, 2011

Parents, please review page 15 of the Parent Student Handbook:  CARPOOL Because so many of our students live nearby, Creek View Elementary maintains a busy carpool schedule. If you are new to the Alpharetta area, you will quickly come to find that we have traffic that can sometimes be very overwhelming. Please help us keep our students safe and your child’s morning commute stress-free by allowing them to ride the school bus. If you do choose to carpool your children, we ask that you adhere to our school guidelines. Children may ONLY be dropped off and picked up at the front of the school following the designated traffic pattern. Please do not attempt to bypass cars in front of you because you may be in a hurry. The orange cones are placed strategically to maximize the safety of our students, their parents, and our staff. Please do not move or knock them over. Drivers should form a single line in front of the school where they will stop for children to enter or exit the car. Students should exit/enter cars from the curbside only. Students should have all of their belongings together in order to make a smooth transition between the car and the entrance to the school building. Children may not be dropped off in the front parking lot, since they are not permitted to cross through the parking lot without an adult accompanying them. For obvious reasons, children may also not be dropped off in the school bus loading area. If your child should need assistance getting out of the car in the morning, or if your child needs to unload items, please park and walk him/her across. A limited number of staff members are available in the building to assist our students each morning. We kindly ask that parents refrain from walking their children to their classrooms. Using the staff parking lot is not an option for dropping off students. This practice not only causes a major back-up for entering and departing buses and arriving staff members, but also poses an unsafe situation for students.

“Do a Good Deed Every Day!"
Spring is in bloom! Last Monday, the Junior Girl Scout's had a chance to get their hands dirty while they updated the Butterfly Garden near the tool shed. Among their “dirty work”, the girls pulled weeds and planted Violas (annuals), Parsley (herb), Monardas (perennials), Lavendar (perennials), Phlox (perennials) and Dianthus (perennials). Soon the garden will be in full bloom and attracting butterflies for all to enjoy. The Girl Scouts encourage you to take a look on your next trip to the play yard.

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!
