Sope Creek Wins Best New Garden!

Sope Creek was honored to receive Keep Cobb Beautiful's Best New Garden Award!  We are proud of our amazing garden spaces and the way they allow students to experience performance-based hands-on learning of the Common Core State Standards.  If you have not seen our journey through the creation of the gardens, click on the link on the right-hand side of the website. 

 

CRCT's 2013

Our students truly used the LIFESKILLS of Personal Best, Perseverance, Effort, & Problem Solving this week as they completed the CRCT.  We are extremely proud of our 3rd - 5th graders and can't wait to find out how they ROCKED THE TEST!

How do students get ready for testing each day?  By participating in morning exercise!   Can you imagine...almost 600 3rd - 5th graders participating in a morning workout at the same time?  It's possible, thanks to our world class PE Department!

Relay for Life Hat Day

Friday, April 19th was the Service Council-Sponsored HAT DAY!  All proceeds benefit Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society.  Students showed up in force and completed in several categories:  smallest hat, tallest hat, most pinkalicious, most creative, and craziest hat.  It was a fun day, and Service Council is closing in on their goal to raise $8,000.  If they raise that amount, Mrs. Whalen, Mrs. Grindstaff, Mrs. Jenkins, & Ms. Appleyard will spend the night on the roof!
