The kids had so much holiday fun at Salt Creek today. We enjoyed the "Holidays Around the World" performance, as well as classroom winter parties. Thank you to all involved in planning these special events.

Salt Creek students celebrated Hour of Code. A huge thank you to the STEM teachers and Albright helpers for making this a successful event!

Our Viking families met today to learn about inclusivity. Each Viking is unique, but stronger together.

Congratulations to Albright’s band and orchestra programs this week for putting on amazing concerts. The students have been working extremely hard and it showed. Thank you Ms. Armwood and Mr. Babiarz!

Winterpalooza is now open. We are at AMS until 12pm. The raffles are worth the trip; four bikes, hotel stays, Blackhawk tickets and more. There’s breakfast and games too! We hope to see you soon!!!

Our Student Council just finished shopping for our Adopt-a-Family. Thank you to everyone for collecting and donating!

As a wrap-up to our Inclusive Schools Week celebrations, students reflect on being a part of the Salt Creek School District family. Special thanks to members of the AVTV Club for putting the video together! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-nTaExjJXM&feature=youtu.be

Today, students and staff wore red to celebrate RED Day! RED stands for Respect Each person’s Differences. On this day, we ask all Vikings to take the RED Day Pledge: 'I promise to Respect Each person’s Differences. I will show acceptance and appreciation to everyone so that I can be a part of making our school, our community, and our world a kinder place.'

Please wear red tomorrow in support of Inclusive Schools Week!
