Creekside’s Reading Rocks Rodeo was a success! Students and families enjoyed read-alouds with teachers and special guests, including the Sammamish Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and local police officers. The evening was filled with exciting activities like a photo booth, bookmark-making station, and book tasting, where students explored new and exciting reads. As a special treat, all attendees received a coupon to check out two extra books from the library. Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate the joy of reading!

Meet Principal Amy Allison!

Hi, Otter families! My favorite part of being a principal is seeing our students every day, and seeing their joy while learning! A few fun facts about me: If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be grilled cheese sandwiches. My bucket travel list includes a trip to Egypt to see the pyramids. I love to hike, and I also love the Seahawks.
