First week- Check!

First day to First Week in no time flat. True story, on Tuesday I was thinking that the next day was Friday! That just means I was real busy! I am sure students, teachers and everyone else can relate to being busy this first week back as we get in to our school routines.
The start date of school followed by a 3 day weekend and then Labor Day is genius! The calendar folks got that one right....even though I know that is just how it falls this year.
Speaking of falling, the Chisholm Trail football team was defeated last night 46-0! Yes, that isn't a typo. The Mustangs scored early, scored often and in a variety of ways. It was the first official high school game at CT's beautiful new stadium so I am sure they will have better nights to remember in their future. Chisholm Trail HS is in the  Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD. CTHS is also not playing with seniors as of yet, so their underclassmen got a dose of our football team that has experienced seniors and experienced underclassmen in key positions. David Blough, the Mustang QB is one of those experienced underclassmen that is a junior and a returning starter from his sophomore year. David is a team leader with great skills at the QB position. The Mustangs ran and passed the ball successfully in game one so David and the Mustangs know there are some challenging tests awaiting in the next few weeks when they play the opponents that are on the schedule for this year. The next 5 games will be at Standridge Stadium in Carrollton, so everyone will get a chance to come out and be a part of the Friday night lights experience!  On September 7, we will be playing another school from Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD, Saginaw HS. Coming to a game will include the opportunity to see and hear Creekview's marching band, the Chevals, Cheerleaders, and the Wranglers. These spirited Mustang students perform at high levels and make it just plain fun!
Speaking of fun, the Creekview Marching Band is under the leadership of our new Director of Bands, Mr. Art Ruangtip. Mr. Ruangtip has the band working hard and having fun at the same time. Last night's performance is an indication of great things to come from these talented, hard working students that make up the band and color guard. Not only are the students hard working, last night I got to talk to and see the many Creekview parents that volunteer their time and energy to support our band. Passing out water and snacks, loading and unloading the truck are just of few of the things that I witnessed last night and that is often over looked. Any band parent can relate to the amount of time and energy it takes to get a group of kids fed and hydrated, across town, and ready to perform in Texas 100 degree night! Thank you parents!

I hope everyone enjoys their 3 day Labor Day weekend and is prepared to come back to school on Tuesday, September 4 ready to meet the challenges and opportunities of week 2!

It's a Great Day to be a Mustang!

Sincerely,

Mr. LaPuma
