HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!

Dear Westcreek Eagle Community,

Well, we've almost made it through another year. I want to thank my Executive Board for all of their help and support. It has definitely been a learning process but a fun one. I'm looking forward to next year, with a little more experience under my belt. I also want to say a special thanks to all the parent volunteers and to our wonderful staff. Without them our work would be impossible. Rest up over the summer...because we've got a great year planned for 2000-2001.

Westcreek PTA, President

3rd Grade Studies Weather

Tornado, Tornado
By Zachary Koenig

Oh no! A tornado is coming.
We have to go.
Tornado go away,
Far away,
Go to an ocean or a bay.
Your winds are fierce.
Mighty and strong
By our standards tornado,
That's all wrong.
We like gentle breezes.
So cool and light
Not destruction, disaster, and fright.
