Canyon Creek families please go through the information below to see all the exciting things happening at CCE.
Walk & Roll to School Day
Walk & Roll to School Day is an annual event that involves communities from across the country (and globe!) walking and rolling to school on the same day.
It began in 1997 as a one-day event. Today, thousands of schools across America—from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico—participate every October. Over time, this celebration has become part of a movement for year-round safe routes to school.
On the last Thursday of each month, the PTA Hospitality Team treats the staff in small ways to show them our gratitude.
Most months, that looks like collecting breakfast items to pair with coffee and fun creamers, and wheeling around to classrooms (previously known as Coffee Cart).
This has traditionally been one of the staff’s favorite things we do for them, so we need your help to provide them with the yummiest things!
Friday, October 27th from 6:30-8:30pm on our basketball court!
All CCE families are invited to attend and costumes are encouraged!
Please be mindful of the pre-k students we have attending our school when dressing up for the evening, no gory costumes or look-alike weapons/accessories allowed.
Sixth grade students will be selling pizza, drinks, and snacks!
Snow cones will be sold by the Kona Ice truck!

CCE Community, come experience the To Be Like Me Community Day!
Their mission is to encourage empathy, kindness, and compassion through disability awareness programs led by people living with disabilities.
Our fourth grade students attend this program as a field trip each year. This community event offers parents and siblings a chance to see and learn from the program as well.
Save the date for our Fall Community Day coming up on Sunday, November 12th from 2-4 PM at the Tolleson Family Activity Center in Dallas! We are booked up with field trips during the school year, so this is the perfect opportunity to experience our program. Bring your family!
CCE Parents! If you have volunteered at the school or for a PTA event please be sure to record your volunteer hours. This includes helping with auction, supply distribution, spirit wear, cafeteria helper, etc. We have amazing people at our school who donate a lot of time, so make sure those hours are counted.
