Spring Creek Charter's October Morning Meeting was today. Each meeting we take time to recognize individuals going above and beyond for the "Look for the Awesome" awards. Check out our recipients and be sure to congratulate them when you see them:

Wesley Locke presented Tabitha Fisher with the Look for the Awesome Award for her hard work assisting Spring Creek Charter with finding businesses to sponsor raffles for our Fall Festival. Tabitha has also contributed an abundant amount of volunteer time towards the upcoming Gala fundraiser making connections with community partners. We appreciate you!

Erin Frasier was presented the Look for the Awesome Award by student and volleyball player, Rosabella Walker. Rosabella gave a heartfelt speech at morning meeting explaining how Mrs. Frasier has been a positive light for her both as a student and as a volleyball player. She mentioned that Mrs. Frasier treats everyone equally with fairness and is an excellent mentor for her both on and off the court.
Congrats-Mrs. Frasier!

Join us for our Trail of Treats event, enjoy all the Boooook Fair has to offer, and support our Culinary Arts class by purchasing dinner during the event!
