Elm Creek Elementary Home

The Elm Creek 2025 Christmas Show brought smiles and so much joy! Fine Arts teacher, Mrs. Andrea Rodriguez, led third, fourth, and fifth grade singers in festive holiday tunes. Her ECGlee group made its debut performance and sang with true heart! 🎵🎄🎤

Elm Creek Cheer and Folklorico groups delighted the audience as well! Mrs. Vicky Garza, Ms. Vanessa Rivas, and Mrs. Mary Niño do great work preparing students in these groups. 📣🌺

Thank you, FAMILIES, for supporting your students and sharing in their success!

🎓Fifth graders are thinking toward graduation and beyond! Recently they took a trip with Ms. Granger and Mrs. Fuller to tour the University of Incarnate Word campus. An education at UIW just might be in their future!

Fourth graders set off on a trip to the Magik Theater where they viewed a performance of “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” So often we read the book or see the holiday special on TV, but it’s not often that we get to enjoy it in the format of a play. What a treat! Lunch and time to play at Hemisfair Park rounded out the day for our Explorers.

Elm Creek sends a special THANK YOU to the countless veterans whose service, commitment, dedication, and sacrifice our nation could not survive without. We are so grateful for each of you. We appreciate the families and veterans who joined us for this year's Veterans Day parade. YOU are a gift to us!❤️

Second grade teacher, Ms. Trujillo, is part of an opportunity called the Leaders Readers Fellowship. As part of the program, she receives books for her students and commits to doing booked-based activities and service projects.

Ms. Trujillo’s students joined Mrs. Saenz’s fifth graders and Ms. Salazar’s first graders for some Reading Buddies time on Friday- always a favorite activity to build literacy and school community!

This past month, she invited our campus to participate in a 9/11 Service Project to honor and recognize not only the heroes of that day but also the everyday heroes within our own community. This was a meaningful way for our students to connect with history, show gratitude, and build civic responsibility. Classes read books about community heroes and kindnesses shown in the aftermath of the September 11th tragedy. A collection of snacks and cards was donated and delivered to the Bexar Co. ESD5 Fire & Rescue, Station 119 on Kinney Road. As an added bonus, students who participated in the delivery enjoyed a tour of the fire truck and conversation with the firefighters!
