Turtle Creek is holding an emergency evacuation drill shortly. IT IS ONLY A DRILL. We will be pressing the WAVE button, so if you get a notification or you see the police presence outside the school, please know that it is only a drill.

No tricks! 4K teachers at Turtle Creek came up with a safe way to give out treats during outreach today! 4K families are also working on a STEAM project connected to Little Miss Muffett today.

Our library and technology aides, Mrs. Polster and Mrs. Mohr, are running a favorite book character election! During class, students wil be creating posters and videos. To get students even more excited, Turtle Creek will have dress up days on Oct. 30 and November 3.

Engineers in Mrs. Draffkorn and Mrs. Akey's classes have been working through the design process. This week students planned, built, and tested a design for a tower that could hold a marshmallow! Students analyzed their designs to check for strengths and weaknesses to improve. There was so much brilliant thinking happening as new ideas sparked and students shared their expertise with each other!
