Hello, Panther Community!
Special Olympics
Last month, ECE first grader Susanna Fisher won 2nd place in the county competition for Special Olympics! Susanna is now headed for regionals, and we are excited to cheer her on!
Literacy Week
We celebrated Literacy Week here at Eagle Creek during the last week in January. Each day, our students cited their favorite poems and facts, dressed as their favorite book characters, and more! Literacy can take us anywhere, and we have so much fun celebrating each year!
Chorus – All County
On Feb. 6, four of our students participated in the OCPS All County Music Series! Congratulations to Zoey, Madison, Ashton and Gabriel for representing ECE and doing an AMAZING JOB! We are so thankful for our music teacher, Ms. Darlene Grande, for directing our students and bringing such wonderful opportunities to the students of Eagle Creek.
Field Trips
Our students have been enjoying educational field trips. Our recent learning has taken our fourth graders to St. Augustine, third graders to the Orlando Repertory Theatre, and kindergarteners to the Orlando Science Center. Our fifth graders are anticipating their upcoming trip to the Kennedy Space Center, and our first and second graders are eager to visit the zoo!
Spelling Bee
We have some amazing spellers here at Eagle Creek Elementary! Our top spellers from fourth and fifth grade competed to see who the top speller is at our school. Congratulations to fifth grader Manuela Rubio for winning the spelling bee! Our 2nd and 3rd place winners were fifth graders Steven Ta and Lino Villalobos.

In early February, our kindergarten classes kicked off Black History Month with their musical Motown performance. Our grade level STEAM groups also performed during the show and provided STEAM displays to welcome our guests. Thank you, Ms.Grande, Ms. Sullivan. Ms. Zimmerman, and our kindergarten team for an amazing event!
