Spring Creek Charter had a January morning meeting last week when the temperatures were a little warmer. During this whole school morning meeting we always do a greeting, share news, have an activity, and read a message. This time is also an opportunity to announce awesome awards for those going above and beyond.
Congratulations to our January "Look for the Awesome" Award recipients:
The SCCS transportation team awarded Tina Caruso with the Awesome Award for being flexible in her schedule in both food service and custodial coverage so we have more personnel able to drive the bus for our students. Tina’s heart for helping in multiple departments is an asset to our school community.
Ms. Holland awarded Dane Werner with the Awesome Award for his continued success in the SCCS culinary arts program. Dane is an exceptional student in the program being trained by Chef Hiller. SCCS is proud of Dane’s dedication and engagement to become one of Spring Creek’s culinary student leaders! Way to go, Dane!
Congrats..... Tina and Dane!
