Hello Spring Creek Families,
Coach Roberts has officially kicked off Kids Heart Challenge with the American Heart Association, and we need your help! Over the next few weeks students will be learning about heart health and raising awareness for the American Heart Association with Coach Roberts and their teachers.
Our school's goal is for every student and family to know Hands-Only CPR and the warning signs of a stroke by signing up online and completing Finn’s Mission!
PARENTS – HERE’S HOW TO GET STARTED
Step 1. Sign up online! Visit our school’s Kids Heart Challenge page: www.heart.org/schools OR download the AHA Schools app for iPhone or Android to search for our school and sign up!
Step 2. Complete Finn’s Mission!
Why we support the American Heart Association: When cardiac arrests occur outside of the hospital, bystanders only respond 40% of the time. 75% of cardiac arrests occur in the home. Providing Hands-Only CPR immediately can double or triple a person’s chance of survival.
Thank you for joining us and helping our community become lifesavers!
More information will be coming home with your student on Monday, March 24th, 2025.
Career Day was a success at Spring Creek Charter! Thank you to all of those who dedicated time to our students to make it a successful event!
Save the Date for our upcoming Literacy Night! Students will receive RSVP forms when we get back from Spring Break. We wanted our families to have the info in advance to start marking their calendars. We hope to see you there!
Look for the Awesome awards were presented at the March Spring Creek Charter Morning Meeting on March 5th.

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.
