The students had an amazing time at the Fall Social on Friday night, enjoying themselves with great music, fun activities, and plenty of laughter.
Thank you to all the amazing volunteers who helped make the social such a great success! Your time, effort and dedication truly made a difference. Your support made the event memorable for everyone. Thank you for being part of such a wonderful team!
The latest brand loyalty rivalry at Willow Creek is over the two water bottle giants: Stanley V. Owala
Stanley's have a better handle, but they've also been known to leak and spill.
Owala's are lighter to carry in a backpack and have a better spout, but maybe they don't keep your drinks as cold as other water bottles.
Regardless, we're happy to see our kids staying hydrated and having fun with their choice of beverage vessel!

"Ms. Bork, along with her 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Spanish Immersion students, honored Veterans Day on November 11, by recognizing the bravery, dedication, and selfless service of the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces, who defend the freedoms we hold dear."
What an incredible job with the artwork honoring our Veterans!
