SPC Families,
Get ready to set sail! It’s time to celebrate the incredible "crew" that makes Swimming Pen Creek so special. Our Faculty & Staff Appreciation Week is approaching from May 4th-8th and our theme this year is "Cruising Through the Year!"
Our teachers and staff work tirelessly to navigate our students toward success, and we want to shower them with a first-class vacation experience right here at school. From "Port of Call" treats to destination luncheons, we have a week of fun planned, but we need your help to make it a smooth voyage!
How You Can Help:
We are looking for donations of food, beverages, decor, and gift cards to make each day special. Please visit our Sign Up Genius link below to see the specific items needed and to claim a spot:

Whether it’s a case of soda, a pack of shredded cheese, a homemade treat, or an hour of your time to help decorate, every contribution helps us show our staff how much we treasure them.
Please sign up ASAP so we can finalize our manifest. Thank you for your continued support of our amazing educators!

The Upper Elementary Montessori garden beds are looking absolutely fantastic! It is wonderful to see so much vibrant growth taking over the beds as our plants truly begin to flourish. Our students have been incredibly dedicated to their role as caretakers. Every week, they head out with genuine excitement to ensure every plant is healthy, tended to, and well-watered! It’s been a joy to watch them take such pride in this living classroom.
We want to extend a sincere thank you to our parent volunteers. We are so grateful for the time you’ve spent cleaning up and prepping the beds for our UE students. Your hard work behind the scenes has provided the perfect foundation for our garden to thrive.




Tomorrow, Wednesday, April 15th, Clay County District Schools is celebrating Purple Up! Day. We’re wearing purple to show our military-connected students that we see them, we support them, and we’re proud of them.
Whether it’s a purple shirt, a purple ribbon, or even purple socks—let’s show our military families how much Clay County cares!
