Once upon a time, nestled in the core of Clear Creek Elementary, there was a magical place known as the Imagination Station. A haven for young minds to explore, discover, and create—this vibrant learning space at CCE has become the hub of play-based learning, sparking the flare of creativity in every child who enters.

Step into the Imagination Station, and you'll witness the incredible power of themed play areas that serve as the canvas for boundless imagination. From the bustling streets of a miniature town to the enchanting realms of science fiction, each corner sparks a unique journey of exploration for these young learners. But kind donors, there's more magic waiting to unfold!

Throughout the 12 Days of Giving, a golden opportunity awaits to further enrich the lives of all students in USD 232, via your partnership with the USD 232 Education Foundation. Imagine the thrill as students of every age embark on adventures tailored to ignite the flames of curiosity in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM).

This holiday season, we invite you to be part of a story where your generosity becomes the key to adding new dimensions to every school. Imagine a world where young minds can venture into realms they've only dreamed of, thanks to your contribution.

This person must have completed 5 years of teaching with at least 2 of them having been in USD 232. If there is a USD 232 educator whom you believe to be outstanding and deserving of special recognition, please fill out the nomination form at www.usd232.org/ktoy . This form needs to be completed by 4:00 PM on January 19, 2024.

Have a "Lunch Date" with your student at CCE! We kindly ask that you limit the number of adults eating with the student to 2, as we are limited on space. You only need to take one slot, even if more than one adult is attending. You are free to bring in a sack lunch from home, or food from restaurants. Lunch tables will be set up in the foyer area for "Lunch Dates". Outside food from restaurants is not allowed to be brought into the school cafeteria.
