School NewsletterHappy New Year!!
As we ring in the New Year it is an exciting time to reflect on our accomplishments and review goals for what we have left to do in this school year. Can you believe that we are halfway through this school year? Where did the time go? Starting a new decade has been especially eye opening. Thinking about the last ten years in education is mindblowing. The work that is required of the school, the teachers, the students and their families has increased significantly during these years. We are all working hard to meet the challenges that come with change and prepare students for whatever path to college and career that they may choose.
Don Lancaster, an American author, inventor and microcomputer pioneer said, “Most “impossible” goals can be met simply by breaking them down into bite size chunks, writing them down, believing them, and then going full speed ahead as if they were routine.” We will be helping students look at their mid-year progress, breaking what they have left to do into bite size chunks and then going full speed ahead as if it is just the routine. We know how to do hard things at Spring Creek and we know we can achieve our goals.
I chose a phrase for myself for 2020. It is “make the best of It.” This first year of 2020 will be filled with challenges and hard things, but in spite of those I will make whatever situation that comes my way the best. I want to look back on the year and say whatever came my way, I made the best of it. I hope that you will join me and your children as we work through the challenges and “make the best of it.”
We have so many exciting opportunities happening in the coming weeks and months. Please visit the school website and social media often so that you don’t miss a thing. We are definitely moving full steam ahead for the last half of this year. See you soon for Parent Teacher Conferences in February.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank all those teachers, students, families, friends and community members that came together in the spirit of giving to help members of the Spring Creek Community that needed help during this holiday season. Many needs were met, tears shed and grateful hearts filled. A huge shout out to Logan Telford for coordinating our efforts to make it happen.
Happy New Year Everyone!!

BOOK FAIR COMING SOON: FEBRUARY 4-7
I am so excited to announce that we will have a new company providing our February book fair! The Story Cupboard Book Fair Company is a local, independent Utah company that is dedicated to providing quality books from a number of publishing companies. The selection of titles they bring is AMAZING and you won’t want to miss this! To learn more, go to the website or contact me directly. I will provide more information as the fair approaches.
BATTLE OF THE BOOKS
This month, our teams will be set and we will hold regular battles to accumulate points. Our top teams will be battling in an assembly in March. We have 2 teacher teams and a PTA team that will test their knowledge against these teams. An information sheet will be sent home this month with those students who have signed up. Please continue to encourage your students to read and learn about their assigned books.
Thanks so much for supporting the library!
