Go Fish!

Mrs. Kammerdiener, our music director, just directed our third graders in a fantastic music program titled Go Fish! It was an undersea musical adventure that our entire student body, as well as staff and parents enjoyed a great deal. We did have a problem with our sound for the morning show, but that was resolved by the nighttime performance thanks to one of our WATCH d.o.g. dads, Raymond Ramirez. Our set was designed by our art teacher, Mrs. Lingerfelt, and quite a few of our costumes were made and funded by PAW parents, as well as some incredible costumes provided by students and their parents. Mr. Kammerdiener, the husband of our music director, built the mast and ships wheel.  Many hours went into assembling the stage set and we were all exhausted by the end of the day, but I must tell you that it was a lot of fun and worth every second. Most importantly, our third graders were quite impressive and I have no doubt that each of them will succeed in all that they take on!

Join Our PTO!

Creighton Elementary PTO

            Take a look at what's coming to our school!

• I want Creighton Elementary to be one of the best schools in Texas.
• I want my child to build memories to last a lifetime. To learn and have fun!
• I want to help decide how PTO funds are spent.
• I want ALL Creighton's students to be successful.

If the above statements are true, then “help us help the school”. Volunteer to be a part of our new PTO program for 2011-2012.  There are jobs that take no more than a couple hours a month, some that are seasonal, and a few that require a routine commitment.

    As you may know, we haven't had an actual PTO in several years. The last two years, we have been known as PAW. We will begin transitioning into this new program in the upcoming school year.  A lot of our programs will stay the same, however there are a lot of benefits in becoming a PTO. 

Within a few weeks, you will be receiving more information regarding this change. Please look for it in your child's folder.

Dedicated teachers, staff and PARENTS help make Creighton elementary a great school! Join us – it's rewarding, it's important, it's even fun!

 In the meantime, take a look at just a few of the events our amazing PAW parents have sponsored this school year!

I haven't posted in a while. January is generally the time that we PAW moms refuel from the Holidays so there really wasn't much to report on. Now that February is here, were are as busy as ever and I would like to take this time to thank all of our fantastic PAW moms and WATCHdog dads for all of their hard work. The parents listed below are my special February Thank You's.

Towana Leal... I want to thank you times 1000 for all the hours thats you are putting into the bookfair this week. You have become my go-to mom for this event and I am so grateful to have you to count on.

Jessica Ramirez.... You are the driving force behind our yearbook this year and I am really looking forward to seeing all of your hard work come to fruition! It's going to be amazing.

Amy Koenig... You have been a lifesaver on more than one occasion! You have helped with everything and I am so grateful to have you as a part of our team. From the play to the bookfair and everything in between, it's all been better because of your help!

Belinda Harrell... Thank you for all of your costume help with the Third grade play! From making costumes to helping with dress rehearsal, you have eased a huge burden off of the shoulders of Mrs. Kammerdiener and I.

Staci Seitz.... You have been a real find this this year. We are so happy to have met you and worked with you and look forward to working with you in the future. The costumes you have put so much effort into are so charming and I am really looking forward to seeing the kids wear them.

Stacy Burrows and Leah Bolt.... You two moms have really saved the third grade play this year. You pulled out so many costumes and stage props at the last minute that my head is still spinning. We could not have done it without you both! You really motivated me to push through the pain on this one.

Andrea FitzGerrell... You have been so helpful with the play and the bookfair, not to mention all your hard work on the recycling as well as the spring planting that is right around the corner. The stage set looks amazing and you played a large part in that. Thanks for always being one that I can count on.

Cindy Watford... Thank you for all that you've done in regards to teacher appreciation. They really enjoy everything that we do, from the weekly fruit basket to the birthday treats and Christmas ornaments. You rock!

Mr. and Mrs. Dalton Woolery... You guys are a great team and we are so grateful to you both. Thank you for all your hard work with our WATCHdogs program.

Joe Asaro... Not only are you a great and supportive husband and father, you are also an amazing help at the school. I was looking for pictures of our parents hard at work and 90% of them are of you. Of course, that is a little frustrating, how you hog the camera every chance you get, but you ARE always there for the big events as well as the small ones. Thank you. Now please go to work. :)

I'd like to point out that all of the above names are completely interchangeable. Every one of these parents have lent a helping hand with all of our February Events in large and small ways. They all have one thing in common. They do it for the kids of Creighton.
