As several area schools transition back to school and back to order, Creekview High School starts the year with prospects of new undertakings for the school.
At a breakfast held on August 11 to welcome the parents of the freshmen class of 2014, the school’s PTSA and principal, Dr. Bob Eddy, introduced the parents to the goals and programs planned for the school year and how much involvement is needed to accomplish them. Dr. Eddy stressed the importance of involvement and praised the PTSA for the success of the beautification of the school and several other projects that have been accomplished.
Among the numerous projects that the PTSA plans to tackle this year, the second phase of the beautification of the school is on top of the list. Set to be completed by this fall, the beautification committee has outlined a plan by adding trees to the landscape project. The committee is working hard on getting the Grizzlies to “go green” and adopt a tree.
Along with the beautification of the exterior of the school, the PTSA has set an agenda for donating $500 to the school’s media center, which was named Exemplary Media Center for the state. Other tasks the committees plan to endeavor this coming year include hospitality breakfast for teachers, book scholarships for seniors, and SAT prep courses to juniors and seniors. .
The PTSA officers, Barbara Arthur (president), Valerie McClendon (vice president), Helen Stancil (treasurer), and Darrell Caudill (secretary), ask for parents to connect with the school by becoming a V.I.P. (Very Involved Parent) and joining the PTSA. There is no fee to volunteer your services and talent for the school but being a member, for $50, entitles you to discounts throughout the community in restaurants, businesses, and ticket event prices. If you are interested in volunteering or learning more to become a member, please contact Barbara Arthur at bjearthur@comcast.net.
