LODGEPOLE - Creek Valley Middle School had its last day of school Tuesday.
The students leaving the 1930s building for summer vacation were the last to do so, as the building is being closed and the students are transferring to Chappell.
The day, though, was a positive one, Principal Tessa Fraass said.
"It was a great celebration," Fraass said. "The kids were happy and had a great time. We celebrated the positive and are focusing on moving forward and doing what's best for our kids."
Students enjoyed grilled burgers made with meat from the school's beef program, Fraass said, and a community-wide scavenger hunt, among other school activities.
Leading up to the day, Fraass addressed any questions the students had about the transition.
"When this first came about as a possibility I met with the students in the gym," she said. "I told them this was being considered by the school board and I promised to always be honest with them. Every time it was discussed, I came back and shared that with the kids, and told them my door was always open."
