Our substitute educators are educational bridges for our students when teachers need to be out of the classroom for any reason. We're grateful for their willingness to step in and help with continuity in the classroom. Thank you to all of our substitute educators!

Theme Thursday here at Willow Creek once again with College Gear!
Our very own 8th grade students participated in the STEAM Summit today at RCTC.
Enjoy the photos!
STEAM Summit Mission and Overview:
The STEAM Summit encourages over 3,000 middle and high school students to pursue science, technology, engineering, art, and math careers by connecting them to business and higher educational institutions which offer STEAM courses in a highly interactive, hands-on format.
The future success of the Southeast Minnesota economy depends on a well-prepared pipeline of students with the education and skills needed to keep the region’s businesses and industries competitive. This summit brings together 70+ businesses, higher education, local government and our community to motivate and prepare students for an increasingly competitive global marketplace.
Wishing a happy Diwali to those to celebrate!
Honoring all who served. Thank you, Veterans.
