On Tuesday, May 8, we hosted our annual kindergarten orientation, where we were able to welcome in about 50 future kindergarten Panthers! We are so excited to welcome each of our new Panthers in the fall. Please remember that you may stop by our front office at any time during normal operating hours to register your child for next year.

On the morning of Wednesday, May 9, our kindergarten team, under the guidance of our music teacher, Mrs. Grande, hosted Fish in the Ocean, a kindergarten musical. Our cafeteria was transformed into an ocean as our kindergarteners made the ocean come to life for their families.

We hosted our annual field day event on Friday, May 11. Students were able to participate in potato-sack races, bug hunts, tug-o-war, and much more! Thank you to everyone who helped volunteer to bring this fun-filled day to life for our students!

Saturday, May 12, we hosted our third annual ECE Green Day! Families and staff worked on beautification projects throughout ECE, including: painting paws on our basketball court, painting rocks, a Panther chorus performance and much more. Again, thank you to each family who took time out of their weekend to help keep Eagle Creek a wonderful place for our Panthers.

On behalf of Eagle Creek, I would like to say a HUGE thank you to Mr. Alan Veith and Publix for supporting Eagle Creek with our Mother’s Day cake decorating. Our Panthers had a special time decorating cakes for their families to celebrate Mother’s Day. I would like to wish a very Happy Mother’s Day to each of our Panther moms.

In honor of Teacher Appreciation week, Orange County Public Schools asked graduating high school seniors to submit thank you letters to teachers who have made a difference in their educational journey. ECE music teacher Ms. Grande was recognized from one of her former students! Thank you, Ms. Grande, for making an impact on the students you teach!!!

We LOVE our volunteers! We were happy to thank our ECE volunteers by serving them a yummy breakfast and giving them small gifts as tokens of our appreciation! It’s the least we can do for THE BEST volunteers in OCPS!!!

Recently our PTA was recognized for their outstanding work. They received awards for Health and Safety, Diversity and Inclusion, and Building a Better Community. Thank you, PTA, for all of your hard work and dedication!
