Cedar Creek Celebration
It was a packed house – record attendance, actually – at Cedar Creek’s annual Spring fundraiser, “Chillin’ and Grillin’ at the Creek” held April 4 at the Ruston Civic Center. Cedar Creek School parents and volunteers spent countless hours preparing for the fun night that included a barbeque cook off, music from the band Hands Down and both a live and silent auction. Guests came away with dozens of exceptional items from the auctions. More than 80 items were featured in the silent bidding, which included fine gifts, specialty items and artwork from area retailers and other businesses. More than 32 live auction items were up for bid. Some of the work included a bound photo memory book of ninth graders, “Creekopoly,” a Pre-K picnic table and quilts. The proceeds will be used to kick off the school’s capital campaign, which will include improvements to current facilities and construction of new classrooms. Without the generosity of our many volunteers and donors, the fundraiser would not have been as successful.
