Cypress Creek PTA held the 1st Annual Fall Festival and it was totally fabulous!! It started off with Kindergarten and First Grade singing some of the cutest songs ever! My personal favorite was Shine, Shine, Shine and the 1st graders are letting their light shine in the picture. This wasn't the only performance. There was a tap dance classes, cheerleading, martial arts, and a hip hop routine. Children had an open field of bouncing houses, an obstacle course, a bungee jump/swing, rock climbing, and even horse rides.
Our PTA and business partners really put on an event that will be talked about for months. The children enjoyed a fun filled afternoon with Mr. Butler our principal and teachers at every corner. My son Carson especially enjoyed the slot car track as you can see in the picture. As a teacher and parent at Cypress Creek Elementary I can say it was so heartwarming to see families with chairs out talking to one another, children running around having fun, and a faculty and staff working together like a team that had been together for years. This is only our 3rd year since the school opened and we are destined for great things. WAIT did I mention the best news is yet to come...
Our PTA and Principal Mr. Butler, after much digging, are supporting the Promethean Interactive Whiteboard movement by purchasing 34 more boards to completely outfit the entire school with a board in each classroom! It is a dream come true for me. Kaile is in 3rd grade while Carson is in 1st so they will use the boards for years to come (and my husband hears about them all the time. ) I have seen such a growth with students in the past 4 years of using the Promethean ActivBoard and now every child will get to experience the interactivity it provides to increase student learning. I can't wait to train the teachers and watch them work collaboratively to ensure the very best lessons for all students. I'll keep you posted on the progress...
