🎃Last week was a spooktacular week at Creekside!👻
From creative costumes to pumpkin masterpieces and classroom fun, our students and staff made Halloween one to remember!🦇🕸️
Now we’re trading the treats for crisp fall vibes and getting ready for another amazing week of learning ahead.🍂📚
🕷️ Spooky Discoveries in STEAM! 🦇🎃
3rd Grade untangled the truth…spiders aren’t so scary after all! Students explored web types, then became engineers designing their own on a budget!💰🕸️ Creative webs, strong builds, and only a few “AHH! It’s a spider!” moments!
4th Grade investigated bats inside & out! 🦇Students explored how sound waves help bats survive, then tested their “bat senses” in an echolocation challenge. Bats are officially the superheroes of the night!
5th Grade turned pumpkins into mad-science reactors!🎃 Students tested ingredients, made predictions, and witnessed exciting chemical reactions that were frightfully fun!🧪
🚀Celebrating Red Ribbon Week and Making Stellar Choices!🪐🔭
Students tested their senses today with Ms. Broam’s Halloween mystery boxes!🎃🍬🧙🏼♀️A frightfully fun way to learn through science! 👻🦇🧟♂️
📸🎄 Holiday Pictures are coming to Creekside Thursday, November 13th!

Thank you to Mr. Jimmy Gilliam with the Limestone County Cattlemen's Association for visiting the Creekside library and reading to some of our 3rd graders as part of the Cowboys in the Classroom program! Our students loved learning about farm life, cattle, and the important role agriculture plays in our community.🐄📚
This week our 3rd and 5th graders attended the 19th Annual Athens Storytelling Festival. Thank you to our local legislators for providing this wonderful opportunity for our students!
Join us in welcoming back to Creekside Mrs. Stephanie Blackburn, Math Specialist! We’re excited for the positive impact she will bring to CES!
