Cougar Families,
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because of the message it carries. It reminds us to take time for gratitude in our lives. In the chaos of the world, taking even a moment to pause and express gratitude can feel like a radical act of rebellion. Gratitude isn’t just a fleeting emotion or a polite response; it’s a powerful force that can transform our mental landscape, deepen our sense of belonging, and make our communities thrive.

Taking time to give thanks is a critical skill for our children to learn. When we express thanks, whether silently in our minds or loudly to the world, we shift our focus from what we lack to what we have. It’s a subtle yet seismic shift that nudges our perspective toward the positive. I don’t know about you but I think our world needs a little more positivity! So, I will lead the way by saying I am so thankful for this school. I am beyond grateful for the students, staff and parents here at Clear Creek. It is a joy to be part of this amazing community. Let’s all try and have an attitude of gratitude each and every day.

PTC-

I want to thank the PTC and all the volunteers that made our Fall Festival such a wonderful event. Well done team! Cougar Cafe is open Friday mornings at 8am. Come get a cup of coffee, hot chocolate and of course a donut. Without the support of our PTC events like these would not be possible. If you are not currently active with our PTC I want to encourage you to come to the next meeting (11/20) and get involved!

Home-School Communication

Good communication between the school and home is very important to us and we are working to provide numerous ways for this good communication to take place. Please call the school office when your child is sick and cannot attend school.

Don’t Forget Thanksgiving break is 11/27-11/29, enjoy your time with your family. Happy Thanksgiving!
