Dear Dove Creek School Families,
As we move into the spring season, our school community finds itself in one of the busiest and most exciting times of the year. With baseball, track, field trips, and numerous end-of-year activities underway, our students and families are truly burning the candle at both ends. It is a full and fast-paced schedule, filled with opportunities, accomplishments, and memorable moments.
We recently celebrated a very successful Prom, and I would like to extend a special thank you to Ms. Janesse Garcia. Her exceptional talent for planning and organizing made the evening a truly special experience for our students. We are very fortunate to have her. I would also like to recognize Becky Short, our Junior Class sponsor and science teacher, who contributed to prom preparations as well. Becky was also attending the State Science Fair that same weekend, supporting our middle school state competitor, Hagan Short. We are proud of Hagan for representing Dove Creek at the state level—he received second place in his category!
Beyond school events, it has been great to see our students giving back to the community. Our FFA chapter recently spent time volunteering to clean the firehouse, demonstrating the importance of service and community involvement. These experiences are just as valuable as those in the classroom, helping shape well-rounded, responsible individuals.
As we look ahead, the pace will only increase. End-of-year academic and athletic awards, field trips, graduations, and long-standing traditions such as elementary Track and Field Day and high school Monday Funday are right around the corner. It is an exciting time, but it can also be stressful for both students and families.
As we navigate these busy weeks, I encourage everyone to take a moment to pause, take a deep breath, and enjoy this special time of year. These are the moments that make a school year memorable, and before we know it, this year will be one for the books.
Thank you for your continued support of our students and school community.
Sincerely,
Charlotte Forst
PreK-12 Principal
