Big news this morning at the Creek! Our Teacher of the Year was announced!
Congratulations to Ms. Steinberg, 2nd grade teacher! So I don't know all the things that Ms. Steinberg does, but in her short time at the Creek, she has definitely become a leader. She has helped numerous teachers get the supplies they need by creating DonorsChoose projects. She also is a bundle of wonderful, creative ideas! Working with her on the anniversary party was simply a pleasure. Please co...ngratulate Ms. Steinberg the next time you see her. And thank you to all our amazing staff! I know the decision was a hard one. |
