Hello Parents, Arkansas weather brings many surprises to its residents! I hope your child made some fun memories on their AMI days...whether it was sledding down the hill or sitting by the fire with a cup of cocoa. February is a busy month, so make sure you follow our Facebook page @HurricaneCreekElementary to stay current on happenings. You'll also find snapshots of life inside The Creek. Help your child remember to turn in their AMI packets this week, so they get credit for their time spent working from home.

Make it a great day or not, the choice is yours! Jacqueline Vergason Principal, Hurricane Creek Elementary
