The 2nd Graders at ACE celebrated the Holiday season going to The Nutcracker on December 13th!
Kindness Club is still collecting items with their food drive. We currently are just under 1,000 items and our goal is to get 3,000 items. Let's help the Gretna Neighbors stock their shelves this holiday season!
Kindness Club had an amazing time spreading holiday cheer by ringing bells at our local Hy-Vee for the Salvation Army!
The 2nd Graders had a great time learning about Tony Sarg and the Balloons on Broadway. We created our own Thanksgiving Balloons and paraded around Aspen Creek Tuesday for all to enjoy and kick off the holiday season!
Student Council is putting together a Character Cart that they will use to help work with younger students. We are looking for donations of slightly used items for this cart such as board/card games, legos or craft supplies . Please reach out to Mrs. Heinke with questions.
After learning all about matter, fifth graders put their skills to the test by making the "Perfect Pancakes"!
A special thank you to Staff Sargent Ryan Diamond! He is a veteran in the US Army and took time to come to Aspen Creek and talk to our 1st and 3rd grade students about what it means to be a Veteran. Ryan is Mrs. Diamond's husband. Thank you for your service Ryan!
Fourth graders have been hard at work building roller coasters to demonstrate the transfer and transformation of potential and kinetic energy! There were some super creative coasters!
Congratulations to these amazing students for being recognized by their teachers for going above and beyond in the area of GRATITUDE! Way to go Aspen Creek Elementary's November Students of the Month!

Ahoy, Mateys! It’s National School Lunch Week!
We celebrated with the theme "School Lunch Pirates: Find Your Treasure!" 🏴☠️ Our amazing Food and Nutrition teams showed their school spirit in new pirate-themed shirts, thanks to a manager who went the extra mile to make the week special.
It was a fun-filled week, and GPS, along with our students, want to thank FANS for taking us on this high-seas adventure of good nutrition, where we discovered treasure in every healthy meal!
