COFFEE TALK AT GREENE ELEMENTARY
Want the latest scoop on your District and campus - straight from your Superintendent - in a small setting? Keep your eyes open for a 'Coffee Talk' event at your student's campus !  Throughout the year, Superintendent Dr. Greg Smith makes the rounds of Clear Creek ISD visiting with parents and informing them of the latest news in public education, the District, and their unique campus. And yes, there's coffee! Parents have the ability to ask questions in a relaxed setting and have discussions on how everyone makes this school district great! September's Coffee Talk meeting was at Greene Elementary.  Be on the lookout for the next Coffee Talks at Hall Elementary (October 6), North Pointe Elementary (November 3) and Stewart Elementary (December 1). Elementary campus Coffee Talks meet in the library at 8:30 a.m. and usually last about an hour.

KICK FOR THE KIDS
Sponsored by Norman Frede Chevrolet, "Kick for the Kids" is a Friday and Saturday night  event before each varsity football game that allows a chosen 5th grader from a CCISD elementary school to participate in a fundraising activity that will benefit their school's physical education program. The student is given the challenge to make a 13-yard field goal. If he/she makes the kick, Norman Frede Chevrolet makes a donation to the elementary school. "Kick for the Kids" is an exciting way to allow students to support their school while entertaining the crowd at the same time. Click here to see pictures of the students each week.
