Elm Creek Elementary Home

What does it take to become a Safety Patrol at Elm Creek? Students must be in fifth grade, complete and return an application to Coach Lockridge, and maintain passing grades. Above all, Safety Patrols are role models of strong, positive behavior. Patrols welcome students in the morning, monitor crosswalks, remind students about expected hallway behavior, and walk our youngest Explorers to class when needed. Throughout the year, Safety Patrols are called on in many capacities to help school events run smoothly. This year’s group of Safety Patrols has been reporting to duty and eager to help Elm Creek be the best it can be!

Our ECE STEM Clubs: Robotics, Solar Cars, and WeDo’s raised all the funds they needed to go on their end of the year STEM field trip to NASA in Houston, Texas! They were able to experience a hands-on activity in the STEM classroom experience and build a rocket! They saw astronauts, rockets, a space shuttle, and took the Tram tour while visiting the Johnson Space Center. Students had an amazing time learning about space, the moon, and our entire solar system! What an incredible opportunity for them to experience at the elementary level!🚀🧑‍🚀🚀🧑‍🚀🚀

Ms. De La Cruz, librarian at McNair, reserved an Alamo History Trunk for her campus and invited some of our students to visit and explore the trunk contents as well. Fourth graders study Texas history, so this activity was an excellent supplement to what they learned this year. Students enjoyed a hands-on opportunity to discover a bit more about what life was life in the 1800s. Thank you for inviting us, Ms. De La Cruz!

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!
