The Thornton Creek community is
a diverse mix of students, staff, families, and neighbors with a common
interest in the education of our children. The concept of "community"
is at the core of the Thornton Creek mission. As an ELOB-Expeditionary
Learning School, Thornton Creek strives to engage and develop community
in several ways. In the classroom, students build community through
collaborative learning styles and exercises. Throughout the school,
students and staff come together to share experiences, develop synergies
of skills and expertise, and expand knowledge. In the classroom, around
the school, and on field trips, Thornton Creek students, staff, and parent volunteers
work together to foster collaborative and respectful relationships,
to learn about social responsibility, develop empathy, and affect
positive social change through involvement in local, national, and
international activities. This community approach depends on the active
involvement of parent volunteers.
Thornton Creek is tremendously fortunate to have a very active and engaged parent
population.
